tm is near his house, gz finds him, and tm runs Back to the T with gz in hot pursuit. Really ?

lol. It's best to overlook some things.

Tonight on NBC, Brian Williams said some of today's witnesses refuted what George has said. Really? Which witness would that be? The first responders testified that Trayvon was indeed dead. I don't recall George claiming he wasn't.

And the NW lady spoke highly of George and agreed that if a NW guy is attacked, it's not suggested he shouldn't defend himself.

Then there was the HOA idiot who said that in spite of increased and frequent crime, he didn't think a NW was necessary.

And then, of course, the Justice for Trayvon lady, lolol.

OK, then, Brian. Keep up the charade.

Somewhere in this thread I just read about the testimony of TM's girlfriend that said he had gotten "home" and left again to supposedly go confront his "stalker". It's all starting to come together, if what I read is true.

Looks more and more that TM was the aggressor and started the physical confrontation. Not that it really matters as much who started it, if it is proven that TM was on top of GZ and GZ felt his life was in danger.
Didn't Zimmerman in one of his statements or the re-enactment say that Trayvon attacked him right at the T, jumped out of the bushes and attacked him there? If that's the case, the significance of going left to right, and the body being found in the back yard of the woman who was testifying is that Zimmerman lied about how far he went down that pathway and where he said Trayvon attacked him.

Could be that today is the FIRST TIME anyone ever asked her that question about movement from left to right, or the direction of movement, and that could have easily have been a detail she didn't think about. PLUS there is absolutely nothing wrong with the State investigator having asked her that question yesterday or Thursday prior to trial. Witnesses are NOT usually public speakers, and in fact witnesses do sometimes remember things the more they talk about the case. That said, eye witnesses are known to be not very reliable because of memory, according to many studies which have been conducted on this topic.

I'm assuming O'Mara had the petition when she took the stand, but who knows. Maybe someone sent it to the defense during her testimony.
In this trial they are not allowing Re-ReDirect? Normally they do. You can do direct cross, then as many re-directs and re-crosses as needed.

Ssshhh - it looks like we have come upon a beautiful specimen of the False Dichotomy in the wild. Look at that gorgeous plumage. If we don't disturb it, the entire herd of Fallacies may show up.

The question is whether or not Zimmerman was actually "BEATEN"...so far no evidence of a "BEATING" has been presented. Maybe you should wait until that issue is addressed by witnesses before you assume you have absolute knowledge about this. In your opinion is one punch to the nose, which DID NOT break the nose enough to be considered a "beating" so bad someone would be in fear for their life, especially when they had a gun and the person who punched did not?

Really, Zimmerman's nose is smashed and the back of his head is bleeding.

Yes I don't just allow scripts to run. I sometimes will allow select ones at certain sites like here. C-D only runs city-data.com and youtube. Youtube is blocked, if I think I really want to watch the video I will unblock it temporarly. Although there are two trackers running here that I also have blocked with Ghostery (Google Analytics Analytics and Quantcast Advertising)

Having said that the ABC stream is the best I've found so far.
Well I personally don't have enough interest in watching. It will all be archived at the fla state site anyway for download.

I guess you didn't even bother to click on the attached image. When you click on that above link with scripts running you get automatically re-directed. You don't see a thing. If you had you would have clearly seen that it was <http://www.nbcnews.com/>... Also you would have seen the warning for "clickjacking". So take your "rolleyes" smiley and stuff it you know where.

He had a bloody nose this is true and a few minor cuts. Nose smashed? Not really.
For a guy who claims he was hit 25+ times I am not seeing the damage that might do.
But then he has already demonstrated himself to be a liar and not very bright. He may struggle with counting.
I think TM decked him with a single punch. This would explain the near complete lack of DNA on TM. None on his hands or sleeves which one would expect to see after repeated blows.
If he gets off it will be because the jury had some reasonable doubt, not because they thought GZ was a victim.

At least one of the first responder witnesses today spoke of cleaning up George's wounds and how rain washed away some blood, but honestly, I was busy with something else and didn't catch the majority of that part today.

If that's what i means, he needs to work on his English skills.

Namely he needs to be able to recognize the difference between these two jumbles of letters:

1. Following
2. Starting an altercation
