Thank you, Chip's spokesman.

(I knew Chip was popular, gets quoted at other places and such... but he has a spokesman now? Next thing you know, he'll have an ego as big as Rumpole's!)

Would/could the defense ask questions of Crump in front of the jury wrt "why" was Crump/Sybrina present during BDLR's interview with DD...or "why" was the interview held in Sybrina's home?

There's no way anyone here could definitively answer that, Puzzler, sorry. It will depend a lot upon what Nelson allowed in the deposition and then what she'll allow in court, based on the rules, predicate/foundation, etc. But I'd sure like to know the answer... I suspect one of these days #8 or someone else who knows a lot will write a book to cash in. Maybe Traybro™ or a Traycousin™.

I posted this on the Dailey Daft thread, meant to post it here...

Ryan Smith making a big deal about Serino admitting to Bernie today that he *saw no blood on GZ's hands.* Bernie was so proud of himself strutting away. Idiot...by the time Serino saw GZ is was midnight....jerk!

It was brought in through Rachel's testimony that Crump/Sybrina/BDLR and Asst. were there with her...if MOM calls Rachel back to the stand during the defense's case, I would not be surprised to hear her questioned about it again.

Trayvon Martin's Cell Phone Records

http://www.talkleft.com/story/2013/7/1/ ... ne-Records

(snip) First up: Brandy Greene’s 14 year old son Chad Joseph, (now 15.) Chad talked to Martin at 7:04 pm and was told it was raining and he was on his way home. Chad told investigators on 4/27/12 that he didn’t hear any commotion or shooting because his bedroom was in the front of the house and he was playing games with his headset on. (Page 39 of the 284 page Second Supplemental Discovery.) But look at the phone records: Chad called Martin's phone 9 times beginning 5 minutes after the shooting. Each call went to voice-mail. (snip)

I'm married; no worries about inflated ego.

And Rumpole's right of course: more sans-audio sidebar at the bench, followed by a prompt recess until 8:30 tomorrow.

Isn't the side bar reference the unknown fingerprint on the slide of the gun? I thought I heard that. Did they check it against the first officer on the scene who took the gun from GZ?

Someone would have had to make that gun safe as soon as possible, no?

Officer Smith, removed the magazine, pulled the slide back, and locked the slide.

Today we learned George showed a depraved mind by saying a holes & f'ing punks. His main inconsistencies or deceptions were whether he was looking for an address and/or following (both of which he admitted to) and Trayvon's hands were under his body after George claimed he pulled them apart. (Another fact easily explained). He showed no remorse in Hannity interview and thought the event was God's plan. And most importantly, his injuries were insignificant. Before this bought and paid for ME testified, most relatively reasonable people acknowledged George took a beating.

Tomorrow we'll learn if the state can use his extensive knowledge of criminal justice and SYG, to further prove the state's theory of the case. I hope the state points out, while they believe this extensive knowledge enabled George to kill Trayvon without cause and frame his claim of self defense, he neglected to use this knowledge to exaggerate his injuries at the scene and immediately request medical treatment and transport to the hospital. And once again, failed to use this extensive knowledge to request the advice of counsel before giving any statements.

Why don't any of the talking heads see the lunacy of this "theory". I hope the jury can use common sense and reasoning.

Also,, love the silly pic of the address on the building. But gee, that pic was, uh TAKEN DURING THE DAY TIME. How about they show a pic from that point on a dark rainy night? can the state prove that person's porch light was on as well? Also, the path is perceived as a back walk, it is VERY REASONABLE that GZ did not know there were actual house numbers on the outer walls. Did George own a dog? How many times had he actually walked that path on foot since he had lived there? And if he did, did he care to look and see if there were house numbers there in what he perceived as a back path? I mean, come on, MOM should be able to destroy that stuff.

Me too Chip

I am optimistic that this jury will use common sense and reasoning. Listening to their comments during jury selection, they seemed to be mature and intelligent women. I know that many believe, because they are females and mothers, they will be more sympathetic for a mother's loss and will be heavily swayed to convict George. But being a woman and mother close to the ages of the mature women on the jury, I remind everyone that there are 2 mothers experiencing terrible losses of their sons in this case. I, myself, have much more sympathy for the mother whose "wanna-be cop" son is losing his life and freedom than the mother whose loss is the "wanna-be thug" who was forced to raise himself.

Thanks, Taurus. After what I saw today, I'm not surprised. From the linked article:

"In the minutes officers expressed disapproval of Dr. Rao's "propensity to classify virtually all prison deaths as homicides, and lack of expertise by office personnel in the management of crime scene investigations."

Oh yeah, it's whatever it takes for the $$.

"contrary to what Attorney Natalie Jackson"

NatJack made a legal error? Shocking.
