Zimmerman Trial Live Feed - Day Eight

[SMOKE 1,426]

Then all the mob needs is a match to pass the sentence on the group.

Brilliant idea taking the highier ground, but bad idea making it a building with a balcony.

Try a hill next time General Custer.

i said 'come up here to balcony with me'. i didn't say i was staying with him. always leave yourself options for exit.

Defend with the same instrument used on you? Of course.

Hitting with a human fist and using a lead projectile that's 99% lethal is just a tad different than a punch. Just saying...

RG are u saying victim can only use the same weapon as the attacker?

don't use that 99% lethal all that is subjective...

[lostinblue 1,989]

Defend with the same instrument used on you? Of course.

But you can't get punched and then use a 50 caliber to the head because you are scared.

So every moment of fear is met with a lethal more excessive form of retaliation?

Just do away with the law and have a free for all.

So your kid punches someone at school, its ok for the kid to pump him full of lead?

A gun IS “responding in kind” to a bare-handed attack, IF the other person’s bare-handed attack is reasonably capable of causing death or grave bodily harm under the circumstances

Today we learned that Zimmerman wanted to be an attorney, and eventually become a Prosecutor. NOT a police officer.

AND

That you definitely would not want to wait to act in self-defense until you had been seriously injured.. Per Captain Carter, now a JAG officer

.....Another damaging day for the state. When are they going to bring their game plan to the table.95% of this trial has favored George and the defense team.

I learned that Zimmermann lied about not being familiar with the Stand Your Ground statute. Makes me wonder what else he lied about. I also learned - yesterday - that Zimmermann applied to become a police officer - his application is on record. Odd he would have applied if he did not actually want to become a police officer, isn't it?

What did I miss? Long meeting since lunch break...Grrrrr

Doesn't that go counter to the opening statement made by the defense? Interesting....

Per certain members of the peanut gallery? Or you are stating your professional opinion, which would hold more water in my opinion.

How did you learn that ?? we are all ears. The college professor testified that they covered self defense statue in that class but not stand your ground law in florida

Besides you have told us for months that was not in play , why the change of heart

According to HLN, which is giving me updates since I can't watch the trial without falling asleep ... the coursebook did not cover Stand Your Ground, but the class discussion did. Or something. Maybe I'm interpreting this incorrectly.

10:04 a.m. ET: "Stand Your Ground" is not in the course book, according to Carter. He says his discussions about the law in Florida would have been done in class.

And it is possible that is what I heard,
