The Official Zimmerman Trial Verdict Thread

[SantaFeWay]

When is it on? Someone mentioned it earlier but I didn't retain it in my brain.

Piers Morgan 9:00 Eastern on CNN

Thanks Rat!

 

[testarosa]

English subtitles I hope

That's what Rat's for - well versed in the art of Ebonics.

And I'm ready. 3 notebooks, a legal pad, 4 pens and 2 highlighters.

I learned from the thorough juror.

I don't do cable! I'm out til the youtube.

Save it up.

Piers Morgan lands Rachel Jeantel interview

Rachel Jeantel, the media-shy, yet remarkably colorful witness in the George Zimmerman trial, is back.

Piers Morgan will be begging for a gun 5 minutes into that interview.

The things "news" media will do for ratings.

 

[Rat in the Hat]

English subtitles I hope

That's a good question. I know they do that for people with thick accents. I wonder if they will do it for Ebonics.


On the other hand, if they provide an in studio translator, please let it be Dr Shipping.

Do they have Ebonics across the pond?

The Brit does Ebonics.

Nah, Shipping would be more fun...

DeeDee: "Trayvon sayed the man wass a creepy azz cracka anna rapiss."

Shipping: "She say he cleepy ass clackel and lapist."

CBC apparently runs subtitles for Honey Boo Boo.(Canada eh?) Not sure what happens in Britain.

oh dear God. Please someone advise Rat on the date of that interview.

I have it set up already on TIVO. Translation of same as soon as I can stop laughing.

We need to make a get-together to watch date.

And a new thread just for her.

I'm kind of giddy at the thought.

Naw, let's keep it here. We all know where to come for this thread.

Trayvon, who clearly doubled back for GZ once he realized he was being hunted is dead because of racism and lax gun laws.

Yes, if Trayvon wasn't a racist, he might not have gone back to teach that "crazy ass cracker" a lesson.

So am I. When she has officially sought the public eye, I will feel free to parody her to my heart's content.

Meanwhile as a brief aside in an effort to update developing issues on this case--not nearly as much fun as Piers interviewing Rachel Jentel should be--this should be noted. Eric may have a problem in doing much with a civil rights action against Zimmerman:

How in the world could Attorney General Eric Holder prosecute Zimmerman when his investigators, the FBI, found “no evidence Zimmerman was a racist” – click to read article

By Greta Van Susteren, Originally published on GretaWire

This article below is from last Thursday. Surely the Attorney General has spoken to his FBI, right? If this Miami Herald article is correct, I can’t imagine how the DOJ can prosecute George Zimmerman. But….I might be missing something so we will have to wait and see..

FBI records: agents found no evidence that Zimmerman was racist

By Frances Robles and Scott Hiaason | Miami Herald

After interviewing nearly three dozen people in the George Zimmerman murder case, the FBI found no evidence that racial bias was a motivating factor in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, records released Thursday show.

Martin attacking him and beating the shit out of him?

That an altercation took place was proven. How it started was not.

And how or who started it is irrelevant under the law.

Who tried to kill or inflict great bodily injury to the other and was the lethal response to that attack justified as self-defense ?

Answer = Yes it was justified.

If Martin was defending himself from an assault started by Zimmerman most certainly would have mattered. Had the prosecution been able to prove something like that.

They didn't.

"Corey looked like she was dressed for a cocktail party when she was giving her Emmy acceptance speech."

This just isn't going away.

Bummer for them.

Thank you so much. I've loved Greta from day one way back because she always made sense of law.

Being up here, I couldn't figure how the Sharptons, the Reids, et al were figuring they could bring a civil rights case against Z when everyone and their mother already checked Z out and found nada.

It is my opinion. Can't be proven one way or the other. Neither can the premise that Martin would have killed Zimmerman. I mean if Zimmerman is to believe that the teenager had smashed his head multiple times against concrete, beat him with his fists, yet caused so little actual damage to Zimmerman, so he wasn't a fighter either.

Had Martin killed Zimmerman, would you be lamenting his demise? Would you even know about it? Think about that for a while. This circus was brought to you by race pimps and the media.

I think Martin would have been locked up and book for murder immediately. Just another "Punk". Violence is the last resort of the incompetent. The circus was made possible by the Sanford Police Department.

I note you answered my post without addressing my comment. Had Martin killed Zimmerman, would you be lamenting his demise? Would you even know about it? We both know the answer.

Other than the gun shot wound, remind us what other injuries Trayvon sustained. What does the evidence tell you? If Zimmerman had assualted Trayvon first, wouldn't there be physical indication of that? What does the evidence tell you?
