If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.

Defense is getting slammed by the medical examiner.

The real case is being tried now.

Injuries are not all that severe and the doctor is proving that he didn't receive as many blows as the defense has claimed.

No life threatening situation as far as she's concerned.

TM isn't being discussed, its GZ.

This and ballistics should be key.

So George did get his head slammed at least once and punched in the nose? So it is very possible that TM did get the jump on him and strike first. Georges wounds weren't life threatening, not that this is anything new since he was walking around and talking seconds after the shooting. Was it reasonable to think that he felt he was in danger of great bodily harm? I don't believe the law says he had to be inn fear of his life. Please correct me if I am wrong. This is important for the jury.

The state is trying to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt based on theories of what could have happened ,(as well as most of the treybots here )

Try living when you were wrongfully terminated and you have responsibility of family.

Zimmerman was wrongfully terminated? Do you have a link to that judgement? Or are you talking about the police chief that suffered a lack of confidence vote, tried to quit with a huge pension, and then was terminated for cause?

Think he was talking about the former Sanford police chief. Harsh apparently believes he - the police chief - would have been better off dead than fired. HR departments around the country are now replacing severance packages with much cheaper lethal drug cocktails. Corporate profits should see a major boost from this revelation.

The threshhold for the use of deadly force is the reasonable belief that one is in danger of death or severe injury. There does not have to be ANY actual injury. That is what the jury needs to decide, not if there were any actual life threatening injuries or even that were were any injuries at all. There was never any claim by anyone that the injuries he sustained were life threatening. There was no need to. The prosecution established an irrelevent "fact" The injuries sustained make it almost impossible for a reasonable person to deny it would be reasonable to assume the possibility of death or severe injury. There was more than a threat, there was an actual physical assault in progress. You would need to get 6 people to agree it was not reasonable to assume the possibility of severe injury or death. This is where the case always fell apart.

The point of allowing the use of deadly force is to prevent the feared injuries from actually occuring. Fortunately, GZ did that. This will be covered in the jury instructions if not sooner.

The fact that the prosecution is spending time to establish things that do not matter and to strike the testimony of their own witness is all one needs to know to understand they are losing and they know it.
