Zimmerman Self-Defense Trial off to Acceptable Start :)

not sure re FL, but I believe in MN an acquittal provides protection from civil liability.

There is SOME truth to that. It's a very limited scope of protection. And it doesn't mean they can't sue. It means they shouldn't win. You'll have to pony up some $ to pay for an attorney.

CNN) -- The parents of Trayvon Martin have settled a wrongful death claim against the homeowners association of the Florida neighborhood where the teenager was fatally shot, the Orlando Sentinel reported Friday.

The report of the settlement comes more than 13 months after neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman shot Martin in Zimmerman's neighborhood in Sanford, Florida.

Thanks for the clarification.
Regardless of whether Zimmerman is sued and looses everything, or wins himself a fortune from media settlements- ultimately he's screwed without much hope of a normal life.

I'm thinking he could retire to the south pacific or Caribbean.

Also Obarma could either 'pardon' him and invite him for a weekend at Camp David

or just invite him for a weekend at Camp David

and CREATE SOME RACIAL HARMONY FOR A CHANGE

Osama has a real opportunity to change his public image.

This place is way better for live streaming. no commercials and legal commentary by lawyers who are self defense friendly.
The comments and tweets are interesting as well.....it's just a higher level of information and makes HLN look silly.

Hurry back, the 'Crazy-Ass-Crakkas' will welcome you back without regard to race, color or creed.

Meanwhile, Someone could do a 'Caption Contest' with this photo: The bad news is that Fat Momma's 15 minutes of being famous are over, The media has ground her up and kicked her to the curb. The upside is that for the next six months she could walk into any bar in Miami and drink all night for free.

The word is that she's got those Hoopie Earrings on Ebay for $1000. I'd pay that much for a chunk of the Berlin Wall.



I'll go first:

'DATZ RETARDED, BALDYMAN'

Anyone watching the Skype testimony fiasco for the Prosecution? This is hilarious.

They look like like a bunch of rubes.

" Oh dayum, is that a shicken sammish?"

[BigBlue]

I saw the Skype debacle. You mean there is no 'do not disturb' setting that they could have enabled to stop the incoming calls??? Or they are just incompetent...

They clearly have no command knowledge of the software, and I suspect little casual knowledge, either. That was a huge win for Zimmerman because the jury won't remember a darn thing he said- they'll only remember a debacle followed by the defense getting a simple, uninterrupted phone call.

Again this is the best streaming source I've found. Live no comercials HLN has commercials and really dumb 'newsmakers' interviews as filler it seems.

The local florida lawyer commentators are also very good and for some reason very pro Zim.

Prosecution will rest today if possible ???
