I agree. I was also happy to hear about the phone pings. That leads me to believe the defense has a lot more that we don't know about.

State vs defendants. How does Crump "fight" acquittal for three years since he doesn't have standing in a criminal case? Private attorney general status? Is Crump delusional?

I still don't understand a word he says.

Very interesting. Maybe Witness 8 won't testify. When was the last time Scheme Team touted W8 ?

Hello ALL! Sending Big Hugs your way. Between computer issues and busy with grandbabies, I got behind, but was able to get to see the hearing today. Gonna try to catch up. Glad to have yall posting so I can at least have a review. Thanks again Rumpole!!

George Zimmerman's Decision Leads to Summer Trial
By SENI TIENABESO and MATT GUTMAN
April 30, 2013

A Florida judge questioned George Zimmerman today on his decision to waive a hearing under the state's "Stand Your Ground" law, which means that he is likely heading for a trial this summer in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin.

The pre-trial Stand Your Ground hearing would have given the judge the discretion to free Zimmerman, eliminating the need for a trial. But the validity of a Stand Your Ground defense would be determined solely by a judge. Zimmerman's defense team has decided to put their case before an entire jury.

"We'd much rather have the jury address the issue of criminal liability or lack thereof," Zimmerman's lawyer Mark O'Mara said.

Zimmerman's team hinted it might resurrect the Stand Your Ground immunity hearing during the trial, and it is possible even after it.

Zimmerman spoke in court for the first time in over a year, answering "Yes, your honor" and "No, your honor" to a series of questions from Circuit Court Judge Debra Nelson. Nelson was seeking to confirm a decision by Zimmerman's lawyer to invoke the Stand Your Ground defense.

I'm genuinely glad they believe in O'Mara. I wish I shared their confidence in him.



Please DO NOT quote embedded Tweet posts.
The two type of code together mess up the post

Going to post this here instead of the other thread.

So I sent Tony this: "So now that the school records have been mentioned in court you should be able to investigate it right?"
I was expecting the normal media blow off but hold the phone!

He responded with: "Oh, yes. I focused on it for my 6 p.m. report after asking O'Mara about it. There is apparently more there, but will take time to authenticate. Thanks."

Are we turning a corner here?

Sounds promising.....

But I am not ready to let go of my pessimism yet.
