Comments on Zimmerman trial today

The fact that Obama and the DOJ were a party to this disgusting trial shows the sad state our country is in.

A defendant has the right to understand all charges against him/her so they can prepare a case of defense. This is a sham because GZ had no notice of these bogus charges and did not prepare a defense against such - this is a travesty of justice here

They are stacking the deck with the jury instructions. Again, fair trial. Ha.

Bill - is there anything sneaky about what the state did with this charge?

Bill Sheaffer:
OC Cali; certainly this was a huge surprise

In tears here. I feel as if my life & liberty's are @ risk as well.

will the judge allow this third degree murder?? She seems to be leaning towards allowing it. How is the state able to pull this

The supreme court needs to change the law and have all possible lesser charges to be presented before the trial begins. This way the defense has opportunity to at least argue everything before the jury knowing what all charges could be.

The State can use the law but not by ambush which is what they've done throughout the trial.

Doesn't the prosecution to clearly state their propositions and *then* follow with evidence or testimony step by step? This seems highly disorganized and based on inference.

West is battling a giant here.

Bill Sheaffer:
MOM is said to be preparing his closing arguments. After today, those closing arguments may need major tweaking, depending on the Judge's decision on this third degree child abuse lesser

Bottom line...This is a show trial by the US Gov to prevent anyone from using a firearm for self defense purposes. Can you say Chilling effect. .

Everyone was asked for lesser charges, by the judge, the day before. The morning of closing arguments is not the time to suggest new charges. This is incompetence of the prosecutor leading to possible jail time for the defendant.

State pretty much lost the last two weeks and now is trying to change their loses and misdirection at jury instructions??

THE PROSECUTION SHOULD HAVE TO ARGUE EVERY ONE OF THEIR "LESSER CHARGES" SEPARATELY AND WHY THEY SHOULD BE INCLUDED

Comment From Biased Judge
This judge needs to get a grip on what is morally right vs. the law. She KNOWS the truth, that GZ rightfully and justifiably defended himself against imminent grievous bodily harm and/or death from a drug-addict, thieving, belligerant thug. Yet she allows the prosecution to skew the law in order to make frivolous charges such as child abuse against GZ. This is INSANE and a MORAL OUTRAGE.

My tax dollars at work. I am ashamed to be a resident of FL and contributing to this farce of a prosecution. If they were so confident, why didn't they add this charge from the get-go.

Compare a 6yo with a 17yo that was smoking weed and talking about guns and fights on fb

State = Failed...and they know it! Now they are scrambling to try and save face!

Bill Sheaffer:
Chris B. not only could MOM insert himself into this argument. He should!
Can the defense use the claim of state overcharging because they don't have a case in their closing statement???
So... Does this mean that they have to go through another set of testimonies and go through the evidence once again in order to pin these new charges on Zimmerman?
The problem with adding "Child Abuse" MOM has to revise his Closing Arguments to address this charge

Bill: I thought discovery etc. required the state to inform the defense in advance concerning what charges would be sought. The judge said yesterday that both sides should discuss or email each other about what they wanted to bring up today such as jury instructions etc.
