ZIMMERMAN TRIAL LIVE LINK

^^^ +1. Totally agree; the defense wants acquittal of all charges and not a mistrial. I heard earlier on Hannity that the Judge is considering allowing the prosecution to reduce the charge from Murder 2 to manslaughter. I understand that is judicial discretion, but not often allowed.

Have the riots started yet? I am just hoping to see some real death and dismemberment type shit going on! You know stupid people getting stupid and other people shutting them down type shit.

Manslauter has been on the table along with murder 2 from the start..

Sounds like aggravated assault is on the menu as well. The state wants a conviction of something, even if it's not murder.

If he's acquitted, and there are riots, I may have to actually watch TV for the first time in years...

[brokenscout]

There will be riots no matter what

[Boadie30]

However, based on the facts. of the case, if he is not found guilty on murder 2, meaning Z acted in self defense.. based on what I understand he can not be guilty of the other 3.. There is 4 possible now, just can't remember the last one..

[hatidua]

Will this thing theoretically go to the jury before the weekend?

[Boadie30]

Would, should go to the jury by Friday... should, probably work through weekend.

There should be a special word for attempting to insult someone (usually in front of other people) for being able to do something special, or correctly, or having a nice bike as a kid, or following the law, or driving the speed limit, or being good looking, or having a job.

Like inner city black people probably insult each other for speaking white, when speaking white isn't actually speaking white, it's just the correct way to speak. Or calling someone a sucker for having a job, when you're unemployed. Or calling someone a nerd for getting good grades, when you yourself do not. Or I remember people would kind of say stuff under their breath in gym class about me always trying so hard, when they themselves were just lazy or terrible athletes. Or because you don't have what it takes to wrestle, wrestlers are just gay. Or if you grew up in a rough neighborhood, I'm a pussy for growing up in a nice area.

And insult isn't the correct word, because this new word would describe a situation in which the person isn't insulted or embarrassed even the tiniest bit based on where the attempted insult is coming from.

An insult would be person A embarrassing person B for spelling incorrectly. "(new word here)" would be person B attempting to embarrass person A for spelling correctly.

There's probably a German word for it.

I'm not saying I'm above it, I'm just saying it would be nice if there were a word that summarized the above so we can call people out on it and make the world a better place.

I don't get it. are you insulted or not? I didn't know inner city black people spoke white or black. All the inner city black people I have meet (several hundred of them and a few I consider friends, many more I at least know their names as I work with them on occasion since I work near college park Georgia...don't know what that is, then listen to a few rap songs and it gets mentioned), they speak English and I can understand it fine. I guess I don't know where you are taking the racist remarks. Are there outer-city black people who speak white or speak outer-city black?
Which brings me to asking you how to speak white? Is that supposed to be an intellectual attack on people of any color? Do you think you are a better speaker than they are....just as you think you are a better fighter than someone else because you wrestled?


You're attitude toward thinking you are a badass because you wrestled some kids in highschool and then posting it on the internet has made you look like a moron. Your comments went beyond a normal retard behind a keyboard and took internet wrestling commando to a whole new level.

I played many sports in school including baseball and did quite well but you don't see me making posts that all I need is a baseball in my pocket because I could pitch one right at their face and knock them out...or maybe carry a bat and take on any wannabe thugs that roll my way. I'm not in high school any more. I carry a gun now.

anyways, get over yourself. if you can't, I'll wrestle you for it.

Wow. I've never seen, or heard of, a judge pressing a defendant like that. Zimmerman and his attorney's seemed stunned...for good reason. It was almost like the judge was looking for a reason (or trying to fabricate a reason) for someone to ask for a mistrial.

pretty unprofessional on the judge's part. I believe she was trying to get a set deadline but neither Zimmerman or his lawyers had decided or set a time yet. Or they might have an ace in the hole or something as well and just saving it if something comes up and trying to avoid putting GZ on the stand to let the prosecution go over every detail and look for discrepancies between his testimony and his previous comments/statements etc.
