is it just me or did the state's recent witness(s) just support zimmerman's claim?
Witness describes Zimmerman's injuries, phone call to wife | Fox News
After five days of testimony my only question at this point is why this was ever brought to trial? The Prosecutions own witnesses have proven the Defense's case. Quite simply...this is a colossal waste of taxpayer money.
i honestly expected the state to present a much stronger argument. so far, i have not seen anything beyond a preponderance of the evidence, let alone beyond a reasonable doubt.
in fact, i've seen just the opposite. the state has built the defense's case. i agree with you, at this point, i fail to see why this was ever brought, however, we both know it was brought because of politics. perhaps this evidence is exactly why zimmerman was not initially charged. this is why i've cautioned both sides from the beginning that we do not know all the facts.
I initially -- last year -- thought Zimmerman deserved all kinds of horrible things.
Now I'm wondering if the judge could dismiss the case after the prosecution rests because the murder charge is so obviously baseless.
Does the jury have an option of convicting on a lesser charge?
