The Official Zimmerman Trial Verdict Thread

[QuickHitCurepon]

no, no, no...the jury cannot consider first degree murder, period. the prosecution has not charged him that crime. thus, premeditation is irrelevant. further, it is highly unlikely the jury would come to that conclusion on their own, given, the prosecution NEVER argued it.

please, enlighten yourself before typing.

Again, my slightest inflection is put under a microscope. LOL

I said "if not murder 1," and that really doesn't mean anything.

your comment is not a slight "inflection" (you misspelled mistake and have no clue what inflection means). it is an outright mistake.

if the prosecution does not charge a defendant with X crime, the jury CANNOT <-- pay attention, convict the person for X crime.

do you understand?

If someone were considering murder 1, it would have some meaning. But who is doing that? It was only a superfluous comment tacked onto to a very good statement. How can that be a mistake? This should be royal.

He's going to have a huge civil suit to deal with.

Trayvon Martin wrongful death claim more than $1 million - Orlando Sentinel

Trayvon Martin's parents have settled a wrongful-death claim for an amount thought to be more than $1 million against the homeowners association of the Sanford subdivision where their teenage son was killed.

How so?
The HOA paid the Martin family $1M.
Zimmerman and all owners in the HOA pay dues.
Dues pay for insurance, among other things.

If anything, if Zimmerman is found not guilty or acquitted or whatever, I would think the HOA/Insurance companies would have the right to go after the Martin family for the $1M.

That's not how lawsuits work.

And believe me..they won't be suing the Martin family.

But there is a very good possibility there will be lawsuits from the Martin family against Zimmerman.

Especially if he gets acquitted and is looking to cash in.

If he gets acquitted there is no wrongful death.

If Trayvon's family can cash in on Trayvon's death,
why shouldn't Zimmerman be allowed to cash in on his story, morbid as it sounds.

I would say that theoretically he could 'disappear' into a city like Atlanta--sizable Hispanic population--there are places where he could go. But, then there's CNN--everywhere there is CNN.

It will be a terrible moment if that is how the verdict comes back--guilty.

Somehow Casey Anthony has been protected--I never imagined that could happen.

Casey Anthony was not protected. She was the prosecutor's last case. He wanted to go out with a bang. He charged her with Murder 1 and couldn't deliver.

ok--The last I heard --her location was undisclosed. 'Protected'/the glare of the media is not upon her.

O'Mara said he thought Zimmerman could live reclusively. North Dakota--South Dakota--I don't know where he could go.

What will his parents do and his uncle?

I can't take much more---Greta Van Sustern has been to dinner--a good steakhouse the hotel is cold and comfortable. A nice steak would be good right now. I think it is soup for me.

I thought you were referring to her acquittal. She will be forgotten in less than 5 years. Black thugs will always be gunning for Zimmerman. And there are a LOT of blacks in Atlanta. I don't think he can hide there. He will have to leave the country if he is acquitted.

I'm thinking Zim has grounds for a suit against the Sate of Florida, Ben Crump, the NBPP, Al Sharpton and Angela Corey.

If Zimmerman is acquitted there is no chance of a civil trial as the death will be justified as a matter of law. There might be a retrial in federal court with new charges but a civil trial in state court won't happen.

Even if the Feds have already come in, investigated and left?

I love these people with the big Rep Power who like to neg people. They'd make good cops. A little bit of power goes to their head. Assholes.

Actually, they'd be scary in any role where they had power over people...medical, legal, daycare, senior care, management...they're the type who enjoy hurting people...because they can.

They can go fuck themselves.

I don't know, ask Sunshine.

Serious question here!

Rep is nothing but a cyber tool.
With a million rep and $5 one can buy a cup of coffee @ Starbux.
Rep can be fun.
Using rep can also be seen as a form of self governing from peers.

If some don't care about rep, they can always opt out.

I usually have fun with rep.

There is/used to be (?) an unwritten rule about posters who whine about getting neg repped.
If they whined, they would get more neg rep.

Especially when you do them on a 3, 6 or 9

Three, six, nine. The goose drank wine. They all chewed tobacco on the streetcar line. The line broke. They all got choked. And they all went to heaven in a little row boat!

STFU

Who says there's no such thing as reincarnation?

That's a scarier thought than zombies.

Damn straight.

I really wish they hadn't hidden her epic meltdown thread. It was hysterically funny.

I missed it.

When oddy was a mod, he opened it one afternoon. I laughed so hard I cried.

Maybe someone will again.

I will niver phear yuo!

You kant hindle the tooth!

Proof yuo clams with FATCS!

I truely did not mean to sully your reputation.

Yeah, right.

If the jury acquits Zimmerman, Sarie will be having a different kind of meltdown.





She'll be out riotin'.

that's true. the last place he should live is Atlanta--smacking my head.

I would think that his attorneys might offer some guidance.

I can't process anymore. Imagine how the jurors feel.

'Tune in first thing in the morning--the jury may have reached a verdict but wants to sleep on it'---HLN.

good idea.

Maybe California. Or farther south in Florida. Lots of Hispanics in both those places.

He may have to change his name.

Thread reopened

The Administration and the Moderation Team are serious in their efforts to have a civil discourse as it pertains to the OP and any further posts which violate Zone 2 rules will be viewed in a more serious manner where infractions will be administered on a case by case basis.

I am wondering if they will even allow anyone to stand on the courthouse lawn when they give the verdict. They may have a 'no go' zone around it of several blocks.

They have designated crayon sign areas.
