Kinda sounds like what this Zimmerman guy did.
Spot on!!
Kinda sounds like what this Zimmerman guy did.
Kinda sounds like what this Zimmerman guy did.
Thought you were a lawyer??
That is a member of the Black Panthers, stationed outside a polling center in Philly (I believe it was Philly?) during the 2008 election.
They were present to intimidate, or try to anyway, Whites from voting...or from voting against O.
Many of us participated in a virtual and constant attack on an off shoot of their website, I myself got banned and re-registered 9 times in one day.
The emails I got...or rather an "alter ego" got, from the Army Shabazz were extremely violent and threatening.
The site eventually went under when it was posted that they were not able to raise the $350.00 to make a monthly website payment.
I actually suggested to "Shabazz" that I would make the payment just so I could continue to profile and harass them...He declined in a fit of rage!:eek

I don't think the prosecution is giving a case without a reasonable doubt.... but I doubt he gets acquitted.
im guessing manslaughter...
I aren't a lawyer, but I didn't think the prosecution (state) could change the charge mid-trial and I don't think a jury can decide on what charge to convict, at least without instructions from the judge. He's claiming self-defense, so the prosectution has to prove that it wasn't for a murder conviction , and for manslaughter. I haven't watched the whole thing but I don't think they've done that from what I've gathered.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is some political pressure to offer a manslaughter or some other lesser charge before this goes to the jury.
I think the story is wrong on that point, but maybe not. Where's a criminal lawyer when you need one?

If other big cities start rioting LA might. I don't think LA would start rioting as soon as the not guilty verdict is called. LA would more or less start rioting once other big cities start going at it. Just my opinion. TO answer Wicky's question, Yea I would be ready to protect my property and life
Don't you work in Compton. :yikes
I have not been following to closely but do read the high lights on the news. This should never have gone to trial in my opinion and most likely will lead to acquittal or at very least hung jury. What bothers me is that the judge sure seems to be doing everything she can to aid the prosecution in her rulings before and during the trial. She said that none of Martins background history or pics of him with a gun, smoking weed etc...could come in yet the prosecution goes in depth into Zimmermans background and classes he took about LE and firearms training etc...The judge just reversed one of her earlier rulings that prevented the defense from bringing the coroners report showing Martin had MJ in his system. Prosecution introduced the coroners report and put him on the stand yet redacted the toxicology finding out. Not sure why this was allowed but someone must have informed the judge that she was wrong so now she has reversed her earliler ruling and is letting it in. Defense expected to be done by Wednesday so closing arguments Thursday and I bet the jury comes back by Friday afternoon with a verdict on this one.
Junkie, I'm not sure if you heard about what happened here in Vegas recently, but it was something similar. There was a fight in valet at the cosmo that led to a shooting on las vegas blvd. The father of the rapper that was shot and killed hit a taxi and killed more innocent people. The father of this rapper said he was a saint, and a hard worker. Turns out he had a record for tons of things, including being a pimp, but he is dead now.
Listen, I'm not saying this Zimmerman guy is innocent or guilty. I think you're misunderstanding me on this. All I meant was his story was he shot the kid in self defense. What really happened I have no fucking idea.
Sent from my iPad using Tap That Ass
Yup on the corner of Compton Blvd and Main St
Concrete building with a tall roof. Great for plinking
But my house is 1 mile from Inglewood. That is more important
I guess you do have some hood in you.
I'm concerned that if he gets acquitted more people are going to run around shooting people that make them feel uncomfortable by there mere presence.
I was thinking the rioting would be in New York, LA, and Chicago...hopefully not Vegas. Actually, I hope there is no rioting anywhere but, I have my doubts if it is a Not guilty verdict.
Locked & Loaded :thumbup::thumbup:
and Yes it will be a NOT GUILTY verdict :champagne:

ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS A SKATER NATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:champagne::champagne:
Agreed...and guaranteed, Ovomit, will say that it is a major injustice to society provoking the riots. Any takers on a bet?
Not a lawyer here either but I don't think the prosecution can change from 2nd degree murder charges to manslaughter without the defense agreeing to it. And from what i've watched of the trial why would they. They haven't proven anything, in fact many of their witnesses hurt their case IMHO. He walks and let the riots begin.
Some light reading on the subject...

Read up a little on this today. Florida has not adopted the sliding scale standards in criminal judicial proceedings. If they had the jury could convict on a lesser charge if they feel the evidence doesn't supports Murder 2 but also doesn't support out right acquittal. Because Florida has not followed these guidelines there is no way for the jury to convict for manslaughter, it's all or nothing on Murder 2.
Beep Beep Whoop Whoop.... :skull:bash::skull:champagne:Seems like it's starting to look like he will be acquitted according to what I have read today. Anyone in riotville area preparing for the riot yet? Lowriver, I bet your ready!!

I'm not up on all this, do they still riot if its a Mexican that gets acquitted?

what gets me is that idiot Jamie Fox wearing a tshirt on tv that says that if zimmerman gets off all blacks should riot. They should lock up his black ass for trying to incite a riot.
Who goes by the name Shabazz? WTF????
Most definitely going to happen. After all, Trayvon could have been his son. :rolleyes
That was a real interesting comment.
Thats what our president said after the incident.
http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/03/obama-i-had-a-son-hed-look-like-trayvon-118439.html
I know. As the President of the United States he should have never made a comment like that. If there is a riot it's on his hands.
Often times motions are filed during the proceedings and they are heard/argued outside the presence of the jury. So a ruling can be changed based on case law that was presented related to the ruling and the judge will change his/her ruling to be consistent with precedent so as not to be later overruled during appeal and be consistent.
Yes these motions are presented and argued out of the presense of the jury but judges do not typically make a ruling and then change their rulings once they are made. They usually hear the arguments and take it under summation which then gives the judge time to review current case precadent on the area and make a ruling consistent with that current case law.
Found it funny that she is blocking the defense again. 3D animation reconstruction vids are often used in trials but not allowed for Zimmerman. Most likely due to the fact that the prosecution does not have one of their own to counter the defense version of the incident.

Honestly. They will riot either way. If he is convicted it will be called a celebration. If he is aquitted it will be called a riot.
Either way all they do is fuck up their own neighborhoods.
Cool lets get ready for the Celebration :thumbup:

I'm not sure what the process is in any other state I'm only a licensed attorney in CA and we can file a motion for reconsideration with the same judge who made the ruling before filing an appeal. If the judge's initial ruling is in fact inconsistent with precedent they may change their ruling.
Surprise, surprise....Zimmerman will not take the stand.
Of course you have this bullshit going on in the background also:
http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/10/doj-provided-security-for-anti-zimmerman-protests/
WOW!!!!!
That judge is being complete bitch to the defense/Zimmerman.
A little biased, and leading the jury...:rolleyes
