George Zimmerman's Lawyer Wants Jurors To See Photos Of Handgun, Pot Plants Found On Trayvon Martin's Cell Phone

Fear for his life OR serious injury. One does not need to be in fear of one's life. Only that one could suffer severe injury and that it would be reasonable to assume that.

What idiot would say GZ would not be reasonable in assuming that when his head was being smashed on the sidewalk and there is documented evidence of head and face injuries? Raise your hand.

Yeah, right, find me 12 people in Florida in the same room that think that is not reason to fear severe injury.

The telling matter is that charges were not brought against GZ until racists demanded them and the politicians were too squeamish to stand up to the racists. They are going to have to stand up to them when the jury acquits. That is going to be worse.

The threshhold of proof for GZ is very low, the threshold of burden for the prosecution is impossibly high. It was a foregone conclusion from day one.

and the courtroom is not the media. More than one side will be told. The Prosecution will not be able to pass TM as the innocent little 13 year old skipping to the store to get skittles and tea, with out having it pointed out as a fallacy. That is why showing TM for who he really was scares them so bad.

Must have been some brutal skittles

Fixed

Fixed

Still waiting for the link where Martin had a history of beating up people. We know Zimmerman does, well, as least as far as defenseless drunk women.

You've been told where to look. There's no limits to the proof...if you'll look.

He got lucky. He'd have more than broken nose if he had been stalking me that night.

Within a collection of evidence officially released by the State Attorney's Office on Thursday, was an audio recording of a 15-minute interview with George Zimmerman's former co-worker. During the interview, the man, whose name was not given, says that Zimmerman racially targeted him and bullied him at work,

According to the witness, Zimmerman singled him out because he was Middle Eastern, calling him a "f#cking moron" and mocking him with the voice of "Achmed the terrorist." He said Zimmerman would also tell stories and make jokes about "bombing" and other "Middle Eastern stuff."

Editor's Note: Some readers may find the language in this audio offensive.

In addition to the second-degree murder charge he's facing, Zimmerman could also face federal hate crime charges. If convicted of second-degree murder, Zimmerman could serve a maximum sentence of life in prison. However, if he is found guilty of a federal hate crime charge, he could face the death penalty.

Complaints about Zimmerman's behavior aren't new. In the past, his neighbors complained about his aggressive tactics as a neighborhood watchmen and public records show he was arrested in Orange County in 2005 on charges of resisting arrest with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer.

Just a reminder who the defendant is we are talking about.

You sound like a reason I carry a gun.

Just a reminder...it does not matter.

He is charged with a crime, he is using self defense as his reason for committing the crime. There is no question he killed TM. Very efficiently I might add. IF there were a question that he had done it then this may be relevent. GZ may even have had speeding tickets, DUIs, and shoplifting charges...so what?

The question that needs to be answered is

"Is it reasonable to conclude that GZ was in fear of death or serious harm when TM was bashing his head on the sidewalk?"

That's it.

The rest is BS. Zimmerman walks. Get over it now... or later

That would make you the poster child for gun control.

Pfft. Plz.

What's to be scared of? Pictures of a gun and some weed?

Why does that define who he was as a person, but GZ's criminal record and actions do not?

Neither history matters. The facts are TM assaulted & beat GZ. GZ fired 1 shot to stop his attacker from inflicting additional bodily harm, and possibly killing him.

Well case closed then, right? Since you know the facts.

More irrelevent tripe. You guys head the prosecution team right? Photoshopped posters mean that much to you?
