Hung jury doesn't do that much good, it just means another expensive trial. Though perhaps they could get an impartial judge next time. All the jurors need to see through the state's pathetic fishing expedition and vote to aquit. Honestly, if they do present these "pile on" charges to see what sticks, I think you're going to see the jurors outraged and aquit on principle alone. IMO, the state is hurting themselves even more with this play.
May be, but the criminals (i.e. the state) wouldn't get this one. Re-trial wouldn't even come into my mind. It's about here and now if I was on the jury.
NOT WORKING, other than influencing the Judge to be very annoyed with his continual arguing things which have been ruled on already.
I agree. I cannot believe he is behaving so non-professionally.
George himself said he followed Trayvon...
Interesting...The instructions are as important as the testimony....Could the case be won or lost in instructions??
It isn't whether or not he was "high"...it demonstrates he has broken the law recently which goes to his character.
Many companies/businesses have a zero tolerance drug policy due to their insurance company.
If one gets injured at work one has to do a drug screen to see if there are any illegal drugs present...(they don't care if it was yesterday or a month ago)... a positive test can absolve the company from liability.
Except for suicide/homicide prescription drugs, like the kind Zimmerman took that day?

That is not what I was responding to. I was responding to a post that said Trayvon was on drugs. There is no evidence he had smoked pot recently.

Thats his job. He is fighting for his client. You and I would do well to have an attorney do that if we were in similar circumstances. In over the several hundred times I've been in court as a witness for the state most defense attorneys just go thru the motions and let the state walk all over them.
Plus he is also giving time to his team for their research.
Unless you can prove who started it, have a witness, have video evidence, or any other physical evidence, I see how any one can think this is anything other then self defense. Just because you "think" or "feel" he started it, that's not good enough.
So you mistakenly believe that DIRECT EVIDENCE is the only acceptable evidence in a trial. (eye witness, video, or direct physical evidence).
Have you never heard of circumstantial evidence and do not understand what it means? YES, circumstantial evidence is "good enough."
Newspaper opinion columns around the state are already PO'd at the state. If they re try this no one will get re-elected, and that's all that is important to these idiots.
Absolutely! I'd rep ya but it won't let me.
