ZIM STILL DECIDING ON TAKING STAND

Bitch judge gets testy....

Don't do it George! Daddy's got a range trip comin' up!

Down to the wire....Baldy White Hair lawyer and the Judge are 'feuding'....very testy exchanges starting last night....West (baldy) is managing to bite his tongue but just barely....Nerdy-Geek-Lawyer had to nudge him.

I STILL THINK ZIM WANTS TO TESTIFY.

I'd ask for an early recess so he could sleep on it.....we'll know within the hour....
2:36 pm cdt Zimm will not testify

[gunsmith]

Closing arguments Thursday. 3 hours each. Jury will get case Friday or Monday. I think Dowdy Judge will want to be done Friday.

Rush wincing at 'Don't riot after Zimmerman verdict' PSA

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, a public service announcement here first. As you know, the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial is due. I mean, they're still not through with it, but the verdict is due rather soon, and a number of people -- in fact, Mike, move forward, grab audio sound bite number six. They're very, very concerned in Florida about riots.

BARF...

If anyone other than me is keeping track, the current score for gunsmith in this thread is:

-1370

I didn't think I would ever see a score worse than -1000, but... records have been set. Records that will *never* be broken.

O'Mara (nerdy Geek Lawyer) just did press conference. He looked relieved...only closing arguments left....Monday we'll have a Verdict (if not over the weekend)

ZIMMERMAN WANTED TO TESTIFY...LEGAL TEAM TALKED HIM OUT OF IT...Maybe He's a child-like true believer and he thought because he wasn't lying that the jury would believe him 100%.

What Will Headline News do on Tuesday....will they start hiring people to kill each other just so they can televise the trials?

There is no way this guy is found guilty. The latest testimony -- from the eye witness -- is that Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman and was hitting Zimmerman in a marshall arts format in the nose.

I doubt very much there will be anything but a conviction. Don't forget that you are dealing with an all woman jury! While some of them can reason things out most of them won't let facts get in the way of emotions or feelings. I know this from first hand experience with women in my jury trial over a gun charge, and I only had a few of them on my jury. Besides...Florida needs to make up for Casey Anthony, even though the State did not prove it's case with her either. And then there is the riots that they would single handedly start if they acquitted.

So....this is a trial decided by mob rule? Unless Zimmerman is found guilty, they will burn the state down? Nice.......(puke, vomit, gag).

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is why I come here. A post so full of unintentional humor that I'm going to be happy for days!

Not good news for Zimmerman, but definitely a potential basis for appeal.

Judge: Zimmerman jurors can consider manslaughter charge(CNN) -- Jurors in the George Zimmerman second-degree murder trial will be allowed to consider at least one lesser charge -- manslaughter -- when they get the case after closing arguments, Judge Debra Nelson ruled Thursday.

But she put off a decision whether they could consider a charge of third-degree murder after attorney Don West offered fierce objection to the charge, which prosecutors said is based on the idea that Zimmerman committed child abuse in killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

"Oh my God," he told Nelson. "Just when I thought this case couldn't get any more bizarre, the state is seeking third-degree murder based on child abuse."

What next? Littering?

Yup. He left his empty brass just laying there after all.

Hey Texas, You win. I was thinking double or nothing....Aquittal on all charges 2 boxes / Guilty of Manslaughter or greater we'even. But I don't have a hunch here.

I'll be at Oakdale USPSA next Thursday, otherwise I'm a stone's throw from U of M at 94. I'm down to my last few boxes at pre panic prices.
