without knowing, I thought I heard that Zimmerman and Martin exchanged words early on. No evidence of that.

And for the dumbazzes who keep saying Zimmerman ignored orders from the "police", 911 dispatchers are not the police. Well Zimmerman was outside his truck following Martin when he called 911. He turned around and starting walking back to his truck when he was attacked by Martin. Thats why Martin was able to almost kill him before being shot. Just think if you were in Zimmerman's position and watching Martin wouldn't you pull your pistol and shot Martin before he could beat you up?

I asked those who claim that Zimmerman is guilty of murder for evidence that supports his guilt. The best they could come up with is that the Zimmerman's description of the position of Martins body was incorrect. He said that makes Zimmerman a liar and murder. Just amazing.

Yeah, you want to live in a place that is ruled by vigilantism, has no due process under the law, and in general, does away with every right that the Constitution provides us. I'm afraid I'd like to stick with the Real America. And that means due process for everyone. There was no vigilantism. Zimmerman was following Martin and only shot him after he was beaten up, pinned to the ground and having his head bashed in. He was risk of dying and had every justification for shooting.

I don't think that I want to live in Bent's America. This travon cat was a piece of garbage. He is the kind of guy that Brent would champion.

I'm afraid I'd like to stick with the Real America. And that means due process for everyone. Well... maybe if you ain't doing things in areas you have no business in, at times you shouldn't be around, and then don't try to beat to death a dude thats simply trying to keep an eye on you, you won't end up with "vigilante" justice. I agree that wild uncontrolled vigilantism isn't a good thing, but this one clearly, IMHO got what he needed. Probably a shame it wasn't sooner.

The Judge should throw out the charges and declare Zimmerman innocent of all charge after the prosecution rests. He has to wait for the verdict, but judges are empowered to do that in the direction of acquittal.

after the opening by Zimmerman's lawyer yesterday, I'd be worried if I were Zimmerman.
The prosecutor is going for the jugular while his guy is telling knock knock jokes.

I don't know - I'm just watching it on the news. I'm not an expert but what I've seen from the prosecutor, he ain't playing - he's knows his jury and is going over the top on drama right now. I bet those women are eating it up too. Plus he's younger and better looking than Zimmerman's lawyer and if you don't think that means something to these women you ain't taking in all the aspects of reaching a jury. I'd be losing sleep right now if I were Zimmerman.

It's going to become a real scary place here in Florida Wait, I thought you said it was already with all the negroes driving pick-up trucks following you? That said, this is just a politically driven witch hunt by that female district attorney and speaking of females, I'd be [bleep] bricks to be relying on just facts. With them it's all about amotions and feelings...

The trial is being televised live daily starting in the mornings lasting (except for a lunch break) untill the end of their day on HLN (Head Line News) HD. On satellite Direct TV, it's on channel 204. I just heard one of the news commentators state a few minutes ago that the home owners association has already had to pay a million dollars to Trayvon Martins family. If you decide to watch it, be forewarned that so far the HLN news talking heads haven't been the least bit sympathetic in their comments and views toward Zimmerman.

I'll admit it's very interesting reading the guesses and mind sets of laypersons.

Did someone ever cover Motions To Dismiss or Motions To Strike at the law school you say you attended?

They should convict Trayvon with assault and throw his rotting corpse in jail and let Zimmerman go
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

Did someone ever cover Motions To Dismiss or Motions To Strike at the law school you say you attended? Were you absent the day they taught "judgment non obstante veredicto, abbreviated JNOV, in law school?" No motion is needed. Conrad's scenario suggested an action on the part of the judge, absent motion.

No. Now answer my question since you still don't have a clue.
PS...you do know lawyers don't use Latin in everyday vernacular, right wannabe?
Your pretending cracks me up.

That motto is on his coat of arms... Boy, you sure have a knack for backing the wrong horse, my friend. Bob's wrong. The suggestion that I responded to was for an act of the judge in the absence of a motion, i.e., on his own. That would be JNOV.

Hey, idiot, JNOV is an abbreviation for a Latin legal term. Many such abbreviations are from the Latin. You sure you're really a practicing attorney?
