Unless they can get that stuff in via Williams Rule, they can't bring up his past convictions to show a pattern or anything else. A person is tried for the offense charged; therefore, unless, like I said, the state can use the Williams Rule, they cannot bring up past charges and convictions during the trial. The defendant is not being tried for those past offenses, and has already paid his debt to society, so to speak, for those "crimes." There is one other exception, and that is if the defendant himself testifies and HE brings up his past record during his testimony for any reason, then the State can put his past record in evidence and question him about it.
I think your comments on City Data do not reveal your real world identity, so no. But facebook, not so sure....
If a person got "into trouble" depending on the offense and if it was worth the time to investigate, ALL your internet activity could be exposed...even those one thought was anonymous and private...
Yup!
I thought I already proved he knew. After all, his own attorney said he absolutely knew it was there. I heard him say it LIVE, I read it in the newspaper, so how can it still be in dispute? (except on City-Data of course!)
The question is if he knew he had to disclose it in court. When you listen to his family as they're asked about his finances, they are very careful in their choice of words. However, his wife did say they were flat broke. To me it's willful ignorance, but maybe his attorney can convince a judge the family had no idea those funds weren't part of his overall assets.

Actually Zimmerman has to prove he was in fear for his life because he has filed an affirmative defense, self defense. The state has to prove the elements of 2nd degree murder. State (or anyone else) cannot prove a negative. Yes, proving that Martin was the one calling out for help would really help the State. If Martin was screaming for help and Zimmerman shot him anyway, well, that seems to me it would go toward the depraved mind element.
Have I missed big news or am I confused by the language.
The affirmative defense of self-defense is used at a trial, I thought. Is that also the term used for the immunity defense under syg ?
Though the state can't prove a negative, in an immunity hearing they must at least convince a judge that whatever evidence gz offers is insufficient to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he did act in lawful self-defense.

Workin 96 hours to get a decent pay check, gettin knifes pulled on you by every mexican you run into!
Turns out that he's had a few serious brushes with the law. He was lucky enough to get the charges dropped on one pretty serious charge. He's a child of privilege i guess having a lawyer for a father, and a lot of kids like that think they can get away with a lot of things.
None of that has anything to do with the Martin situation, but he seems to be a strange fella to say the least.
Yeah, he says: "I dont miss driving around SCARED to hit mexicans walkin on the side of the street"
And you interpret that to mean we WANTS to run them over!There is nothing on that page that is racist or anything, unless you consider "Mexican" a racist term! LMAO!
