Huge thanks to you all - I was able to glance in throughout the day and keep up, thanks to your running commentary. RT rules! <insert ice-cream-cone-eating-cheerleader icon here>

Thanks Cinnamon.

RT has several great posters now... liesel in particular is doing great... hence the "promotion" to Mod.

Lets hope the power doesn't go to her head

Judge Alex on Piers Morgan....doesn't see a second degree, sees an acquital unless the jury goes for emotion and votes a compromise verdict of manslaughter.

Does see appeal issues.

Has the autopsy been entered into evidence yet?

The medical examiner has to testify. There is no way around that. No the autopsy has not been entered into evidence. They do that when the ME testifies.

Most of the time the ME is put on first to set up the fact there was a murder and exactly what killed the victim. What the bullet did inside his body to kill him. It doesn't make much sense not to do that, but Bernie is not a good prosecutor. It wouldn't surprise me if he puts the ME on last.

Parks..... is he really this stupid?

He sounds like all the posters at JQ etc.... he needs to wear an IANAL hat?


Zimmerman Trial - Daryl Parks on Fox 35 during lunch July 3 2013

Thanks for that… posted it at RT as well.

What a dope Parks is and HLN people don’t seem have any shame when it comes to spin and bias.
Parks should wear a IANAL hat.

He is as wilfully ignorant as people like CherokeeNative/Teeto who post at JQ and CW… pretending to be lawyers let lacking common sense or any knowledge of the facts.
I half expected him to say.. “The case is not over until we hear from the cockatoo”

Witness Alexis Carter Delivers A Brief Moment of Levity… (Swampbuggy Brilliance)
Posted on July 3, 2013 by sundance



Major Carter: “The fact that there were injuries, have a tendency to show, or support, the individual would feel
that there was a ‘reasonable apprehension of fear’, but the fact that there wasn’t an injury at all doesn’t
necessarily support that there was not an apprehension of fear”.

Don West - Question: “So,… you don’t have to wait until your almost dead in order to defend yourself”..

Major Carter - Answer: “No,.. oh no, I would advise… you probably don’t do that”.



The exchange happens @11:00 point

CNN Video: Zimmerman family: ‘He’s no monster’
George Zimmerman’s family wants to end the notion he’s a racist. CNN’s Randi Kaye reports.

If the "made for TV Family" wanted a true and accurate depiction of TM out there... they should not have put out the silly unrealistic false narrative.

Suppose that the jury is hopelessly deadlocked & Nelson is forced to declare a mistrial. Will State of Florida allow George to walk from the courthouse or will Nelson revoke George's bail bond & hold him in custody until the State decides whether to retry the case?

The only juror that worries me is the transplant from Chicago.

I wouldn't be so sure about that 70s. There were reports that she was visibly disgusted with Double Dee Dee and at some point stopped listening to her. She was mesmerized by Don West. Now granted, I take reports of Juror reaction with a grain of salt, but remember she is from the Gangbanger Capitol of the US and knows what she was listening to as far as Jenteal is concerned.

But we shall see.

Sybrina/Tracy said they started hearing DeeDee's name around Christmas time;

Power? I didn't hear (read) nuthin' about any power! I heard (read) duties, chores, responsibilities... I heard "clean up on aisle 9"...

Oh, I get it. I now have the "power" to clean RT bathrooms...

Ok, and the power to help clean up a post if anyone needs it, which almost never seems to happen. A broken quote, quoting a tweet (smacking own hand for quoting a tweet), stuff like that. And I'm open to pm's if anyone wants some help or has a question about a function. I'll help if I can.

Thanks, Rumpole, for the compliment and confidence. And thanks everyone, for putting up with me and my chatty ways.

PS - I agree that RT has a lot of great posters. That's how I got to be so chatty - I blame all the smart and nice people posting here!

Oh my. The daft is strong in this one. Big strong. Either that, or he's scheming for $$. Yeah, I think it's the 2nd one.

I doubt he's willfully ignorant. I suspect he's willfully denying and spinning the facts of the case to try to extort money. I suspect he has minions following along with the daft at various places so that he can incorporate the stupidity in hopes of convincing others. If the pretend lawyers, medical examiners, psychologists, firearms experts, etc. believe there was a cockatoo, then maybe Parks can convince other similarly challenged people using the twisted logic of the French model, er, I mean internet experts.

Remember, Baez had people trolling forums. Julison visited CTH.

I was pleased that Parks was challenged on the daft. And did you notice how much he conceded? He even said TM™ was grabbing GZ's nose and mouth. I think being challenged shook him up a bit.

Don't give up hope... if people keep challenging the narrative, the cockatoo will be brought in to testify!

You're not wrong. You're "racist". JOKING I expect that will come up in Traymom™'s cross exam, if at all possible. If it were me, I'd call her as a defense witness just to get that in. But she truly disgusts me and MOM seems to have a lot of empathy for her and we can expect the jurors will too.

It's difficult for me to feel empathy for her because of what I see as her money-grubbing, manipulative, selfish, entitled, lying, and scheming ways. Taking co-workers off time as her due, so she could use the time to collect money from others including many who were impoverished and were going to do without something in order to give to her. She has never appeared to me to be doing anything for or about TM™. She always appears all about the $$ to me. I can't wrap my mind around that. I just can't.

The minions at Freddy Leatherhead's place are so disappointed that LIMPapa's videos haven't been shown or things they determined were important to proving 2nd degree murder has not been introduced by the prosecution. Goes to show that Freddy has done a poor job of teaching them actual law. However, anyone with a brain realizes he's milking them for every penny he can using this case as a cause and I hope eventually they will realize that 75% to 80% of what they've sent to him has lined his pockets.

Yes, I think it would be very informative for the defense to call Traymom during their case.
