Today, Sundance has a thread The Zimmerman Trial Draws near. In that thread Sundance posted a video of a media interview with MOM. In that video MOM begins says it will be up to the jury to decide who was the aggressor - who started the fight.

Recently as you know Dershowitz was on Piers Morgan and explained that even if George was the aggressor, and then Trayvon defended himself and in the process got the better of George, George, at this point if he believes he is in fear of great bodily harm can meet that aggression with deadly force. THIS is what Dershowitz says is Florida law on self-defense.

MOM, however, is giving the impression to the listener that the jury will have to decide who STARTED it. According to Dershowitz ... it doesn't matter who started it.

Why not ALSO present that for the jury to decide?

If who was the aggressor is question A for the jury, and who feared loss of life / harm is B for the jury, why not show A and B, as it seem to make showing B much easier?

I could be way off-base, but I read "it is a question for the jury to decide" as O'Mara-speak for "the State has no evidence to prove that Zimmerman was the initial aggressor". It is also a tangential way to say, "there is reasonable doubt, and where there is reasonable doubt, the defendant must be acquitted".

BDLR: Ooops, I misspoke. Happens to everyone, right Mr. O'Mara?


Great point.
I can picture and hear in my mind a No No Nelson ruling weaving Bernies mis-speak in with MOM's ... *sigh*

Let's see:

O'Mara makes a contemporaneous statement that he may or may not have known to be untrue, regarding a matter that may or may not ever be admissible.

BDLR responds to a direct question, with a direct answer, that is a known and proven lie, regarding an admissible, material, and potential Brady-violating matter.

But I can see how they could be spun as being materially or morally equivalent. :/

It wasn't just a "mistake" as in he was describing the fight over the bike and said it was a fight over something else, the there were 3 homeless guys etc.

MOM was describing a completely DIFFERENT video.

The "mistake" was to describe the wrong video... but he was actually describing A video accurately (IMO) A video that exists... he has seen, else how else could he refer to what he saw in it.

THAT video of TM's friends beating up a homeless guy SHOULD be in discovery at least? If not used at trial... so-be-it.... but to not even include it in discovery is APPEASEMENT on steroids.


BTW.... WHERE is Defence Discovery 4?

MOM has posted notice of hearing for June 6th... Discovery 4 should be posted before that??

My wording was in need of help! No matter what the "O'Mara-speak" meant, I still see proving A as making it easier to prove B.

If a car blows a stop sign and hits my car crossing. I get out of my car and go over to driver and in a heated exchange he gets out of his car. He pee's me off in the argument and I take a swing at him. I hit him, but now he comes at me, gets me on the ground and begins to pound away. I fear for my life so I take reach for my legal firearm and shoot and kill him.

I was the agressor. I got out of my car .. I approached, I engaged him in a heated argument and when he got out of his car .. I hit him. He defends by hitting me, gets me on the ground, and has me in a situation where the beating I am taking could result in the loss of my life. I am allowed to meet his deadly force with deadly force.

Where am I wrong. Let's get all this clear before the trial starts cause quite frankly that video with MOM upset me. He was making it sound like the jury has to decided who confronted who as the lynch pin and to my knowledge this IS NOT the law.


MOM, however, is giving the impression to the listener that the jury will have to decide who STARTED it. According to Dershowitz ... it doesn't matter who started it.

___________________________________________________________________________________

From the CNN transcript:


DERSHOWITZ: Well, it wouldn't be very relevant evidence. It would be marginally relevant.

But let me show you why this is not a civil rights case. Let's hypothesize George Zimmerman was completely wrong, that he was a racist, that he stopped this young man for all the wrong reasons. Let's assume that for a moment. But then let's assume the young man got on top of Zimmerman and started banging his head at a point where he could kill him. At that point, was George Zimmerman entitled to save his own life, even if he was the wrongdoer initially by using lethal force?

The law says yes, even without Stand Your Ground. So even though George Zimmerman, might -- I'm not saying he was -- might have been a racist who was at fault and who started this, he might still have the right of self-defense under Florida law.

I agree with you..... I think there is a video of exactly what Omara said...... But what could make him back up for a second. :46 If West wouldn't have just slipped up and made a mistake I might buy it as a honest mistake ,but the fact that the judge was so unhappy with West mistake I just can't see Omara and West not double checking everything in this case.

How can any of this be as bad as Bernie saying that George was told to stay in his car? That is very provable lie.

Everyone keeps saying that West made a mistake. But, did he really? Per Florida Sunshine laws, Nelson had no statutory basis for holding a hearing in camera, or for holding anything in that proceeding from public disclosure. As for the substance: if both the prosecution and defense agree on the matter of sequestration, on what basis would the trial court judge fail to grant a motion to sequester the jury? So: West was, at worst, making a logical assumption based on what transpired in that illegally private hearing.

I will be very surprised if the jury instructions accurately reflect the law.

The court instructs you that the self-appointed neighborhood watch vigilante defendant had no legal right to get out of the car and profile the good little black child as a criminal, a fuarking punk, an azzhole that always gets away, and then pursue and kill the helpless little black honor student.

The court instructs you that profiling a poor little black honor student as a criminal, pursuing him, and shooting him in the heart with a 9 mm gun evidences a depraved state of mind.

Yes Bernie said that more than once in hearings.... as well as generally describing events "off the cuff" .. or LYING about events as is a more accurate description..... not objected to so he gets a pass.

I think John Galt's point about this lie to the court by MOM makes it hard to now press home the motion for sanctions on Bernie for "lying to the court"

There is some legal term about coming to proceedings with "clean hands" yourself.. as in if you are pressing an issue of someone else's wrong doing.. you need to not be guilty of similar wrongdoing yourself.

Can't find it in Latin: :cry

He who comes into equity must come with clean hands

Thanks! :28 for explaining that to me Chip.What I should have said Chip is...... because West didn't play along with Nelsons rules to make it up as you go along .... she wasn't to happy with him so she would be looking for either Omara or West to make a mistake, which is why I believe they would double check things. I'm not even a lawyer but I would be in cover my butt mode with Nelson.
