Correct. Try selling any BS line to my wife?

To me he was degrading women's intelligence with every word out of his mouth. Amazes me that the women here bought his crapola. Then again they are prolly getting paid by the post from the DU.

Lets hope the stereotype doesn't hold true here. Emotion should not guide your verdict. The state doesn't care for law, so they push for emotion. They know they didn't make a case so their only hope is to demean women thinking emotion will get them a guilty verdict.

They were forced to continue covering this case because they blew it up in the first place because of PERCEIVED racial overtones. Now they must cover it and now they are being more neutral as they realize Zimmerman's story is very believable while the prosecution presented incoherent ghetto witnesses like Rachel Jeantel (you can watch her testimony over and over against and not stop ROFL!!!! Especially that head twist and sayin "oh no uh uh uh uh no no no Imma leavin today" or "I done told you I don't watch no news only the weather".

If I was on the jury I probably couldn't have helped but laugh out loud honestly at Jeantel.

The jury knows the initial coverage of the trial, and the precedent set by Rodney King.
This isn't about sides. Don't you want to see justice regardless of sides? Your attitude is why you couldn't be in the jury.

Coincidentally, St. Trayvon could have entered his father's girlfriend's townhouse, but instead chose to leave the house to go out and hunt the "creepy-assed cracker" with the intention of initiating a physical altercation. If Zimmerman had not shot Martin, Martin would probably be on trial for murder or attempted murder right now.

Maintain context.
If that were the case, then why did Zimmerman maintain that he was on his way back to his truck?

I'm not predicting it though ... because who the heck knows what they'll do, but I really can't see how they wouldn't find him not guilty.
Where did you find the instructions?

They will find Zimmeran "not guilty" in about 30 minutes. The jurors want to get home to watch "Sharknado" on the DVR.

It's a soap opera, like the OJ trial was.

John Guy is brilliant. Line by line of the lies by the defendant and the facts that contradict them. Just the right amount of common sense and appeal to the heart without overdoing it. Absolutely brilliant.
