Oh, for Pete's sake...stupid prosecution is trying to say calling a plethora of punks who always get away demonstrates ill will toward, specifically, Trayvon.

FAIL.

I don't usually post in this type of thread but I am curious about something in this case....please excuse me if it's already been discussed:

Zimmerman's Parents were barred from the courtroom supposedly because they were on the witness list. But, TM's Parents were allowed in the courtroom even though they too were witnesses.

What gives?

Love the Prosecutor questions so far!!
He didn't say, "this f****** punk always gets away." He said, "these........................."

THESE.................

Not THIS............

Seems simple enough.

Seems biased doesn't it. But so is also not allowing evidence that showed Martin liked to fight

Good point!!

Trayvon's parents represent (or speak) for the victim. They are victim advocates, if you will.

In a nutshell, that's why.

I have to say (IMO of course)..the prosecuting attorney isn't winning any points by endlessly repeating the "f_ing punks" and "a_hole" comments, especially when he takes them out of context and changes the tone or inflection of how they were used in the tape. To me at least, he's coming across as an azz. Maybe the jury sees it differently.

Rude is the first thing that comes to mind, biased is the second.
Every judge I've ever seen recesses court before they leave the bench usually allowing the person talking to finish their statement.
Maybe the judge is not happy the State is way behind the ball?
She said that she would rule in the morning at 8:00 because she didn't want to keep them waiting. When she was leaving West started whining about 8:00. That is part of his job, sometimes you go home early and sometimes you do not.

Perhaps this is something they do in Florida, but it's the first time I've seen it happen in other similar cases.

I agree.

It's like they use every opportunity possible to act like punks, themselves.

It's not necessary.
