Zimmerman Jury seated. Trial starts Monday.

I'm sorry, but I think those ladies are going to empathize with someone wanting to watch out for their neighborhood, getting beat up for his troubles and then having to kill his attacker.

At least one of them will, I think....

In the end I think the all woman jury will be piss scared of possible riots and vote to convict.

Time will tell but Florida better load up with provisions just in case.

I'm ready to go "game on."

Don't talk to the cops after a shooting till you talk with a lawyer....

[Iraqgunz]

We all know this was a politically motivated prosecution. I am no lawyer but I believe that the defense has several things in it's favor.

1. The Florida statute for stand your ground is clear. Unless they can prove that Zimmerman acted illegally or wasn't legally allowed to be there they are going to have a hard time convicting.

2. I don't think that they filed a motion for dismissal unless I missed it. That was wrong in my opinion as it may have been a way to poke holes in the prosecutions case.

3. Jury instructions will be a big factor I believe. Depending on how that goes it could be good or bad.

4. I think the prosecution screwed the pooch with 2nd degree murder. Manslaughter (maybe), but I don't think it will pass the smell test.

5. Ultimately GZ will be the only real witness to take the stand. If he can tell the story well, then he has a good chance of swaying the jury.

they have to convict as per the affiadavit 2D murder. Good luck proving that

Good luck trying to get the sex that typically thinks with their heart and not the brain to understand the difference.

I'd love to believe this - and some women would for sure buy that. I know my mom would (and she's not political AT ALL. In fact, she's the "Democrats help me because I'm poor" poster child) but the truth is many women equate people like GZ as a "gun toting vigilante" and all the prosecution has to do is "What if it was your son...just buying some candy?"

Since the @no_limit_nigga life of Trayvon isn't allowed in testimony I think GZ is screwed.

Good luck trying to get the sex that typically thinks with their heart and not the brain to understand the difference.

Then there is this.

I watch too much Law & Order so I have to ask

if po' little Trayvons parents (or anyone else) gets on the stand and start talking about what a little angel he was, cannot the defence bring into evidence that he was actually a little turd on rebuttel ?

[Traveshamockery]

The defense better to all in with the irrational emotional appeals to get Z acquitted. The terror of being attacked by an unknown stranger in his neighborhood, his family and friends flashing before his eyes, his abject fear that he was moments from bring killed.

I believe you are correct, this video answers your question 100%.

Basically, the judge has ruled his marijuana use and school records inadmissible however if the prosecution mentions his character these items can be admitted.
