It must be OK for the state to lie to get a conviction.

I don't feel sorry for him at all. He hid thousands of pages of evidence. He chose to interview RJ with Trayvon's mom sitting beside her so she would feel pressured to say what he wanted. When she admitted to him in August that she lied- he tried to hide the entire interview and didn't tell the defense that she had admitted to perjury.

I don't feel sorry for him at all. O"Mara said in 30 years he has never filed a single motion for sanctions, and in this case he has had to file 6 against BDLR. There is a pending sanction hearing for after the trial to address all of those. People from the prosecutor's office have testified at more than one hearing in this case that the prosecution has been purposefully hiding tons of evidence.

I don't feel sorry for him at all, and I hope he loses his license after this trial is over.

I don't know about everyone else but I'm willing to respect the decision made by the jury.

GZ has to live with his decision on that night. Nothing good is going to come from this tragedy. There is no winner.

In the United States, a White Hispanic or White Latino[17] is a citizen or resident who is racially white and of Hispanic descent. White American, itself an official U.S. racial category, refers to people "having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa" who reside in the United States.[18]

Based on the definitions created by the Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Census Bureau, the concepts of race and ethnicity are mutually independent, and respondents to the census and other Census Bureau surveys are asked to answer both questions. Hispanicity is independent of race, and constitutes an ethnicity category, as opposed to a racial category, the only one of which that is officially collated by the U.S. Census Bureau. For the Census Bureau, Ethnicity distinguishes between those who report ancestral origins in Spain or Hispanic America (Hispanic and Latino Americans), and those who do not (Non-Hispanic Americans).[19][20] The U.S. Census Bureau asks each resident to report the "race or races with which they most closely identify."[21]
THANK YOU, for that excellent clarification!

Bernie plays fast and loose with with all the facts and testimony in this case - if I were a juror I would be insulted.

I agree with this. I don't think Bernie is a terrible lawyer. On the contrary, I think he is doing as best a job he can with the garbage that he was given to prosecute. What do you do when your "star" witness is Jeandel and the victim's "friend." He has very little to go on here. All he can say is that Zimmerman followed Trayvon when he should have waited for the cops. That's really the only argument that state has in this case.

I would ask...For those of you that are convinced that Trayvon deserved to die, based on a misperception by George. How then is it out of the realm of your belief that others feel because George...Who took a life, shouldn't be held accountable?
I don't think Trayvon deserved to die as much as George Zimmerman deserved the right to defend himself.

He is being way to emotional. That isn't going to win anything for the State.

by far the best synopsis of this whole case as well. Take your beating like a man, you white hispanic.

Well?

Why didn't Zimmie say, "killed"?

Was he still unsure as to the deadabouts of Trayvon?
