Dr Allen Dershowitz - Dream Team Member - this really surprises me. I
guess I shouldn't be. He has looked at the facts and reached his own
conclusion without being swayed by political correctness.

It's easy to assume Dersh is another knee-jerk liberal but he really
isn't. He has taken some decidedly non-PC views over the years. Still
he is jewish and we have to wonder what he's really up to.

While I was failing to read the article I cited, this jumped out so I
posted it. It also jumped onto my screen that Dr Dershowitz was
describing the actions of the prosecution.

Dershowitz continued, “An affidavit that willfully misstates
undisputed evidence known to the prosecution is not only unethical but
borders on perjury because an affiant swears to tell not only the
truth, but the whole truth, and suppressing an important part of the
whole truth is a lie."

There is too much scrutiny of this case for there to be any screw-ups.
My assumption was that the prosecution had access to evidence that the
general public did not, which was what led them to charge murder 2
instead of manslaughter. But, it could be they're a bunch of screw-ups
and are going to produce another OJ-like verdict.

That would be bad, since Zimmerman stalked and killed an unarmed kid.

Can you not admit that there may have been a fight and that Zimmerman
was trying to leave when Trayvon jumped him? How about the blood
seeping from his head? Backs up the contention that Trayon was banging
his head on the curb.

Have you not seen the latest pics of blood oozing from Zimmerman's
head. Why is it so fantastic that Zimmerman was defending himself?
That Trayvon had him down and was banging his head on a curb. It's as
if a neighborhood watchman following a suspicious person in his
community rules out anything happening subsequenty.

Look at Drudge Report. See Zimmerman's head with blood all over it.
Captioned with "ABC News Exclusive". I guess that is mythical also.
You are so sure that Trayvon is without blame. I guess Zimmerman
inflicted these injuries on himself. Or, I guess because Trayvon is
black, he can do anything at all without anyone standing up to him.

And I am sure this assault is fine with you since the two thugs who
did it are both black.

We're all sorry that blacks seems to commit more crimes than whites, but them is the facts. The prison population seems to verify it. All of the race-baiting in the world won't change the fact that when you hear footsteps behind you in a dark street, like Jesse Jackson famously admitted, you are relieved to see they are white guys.

Doesn't Zimmerman's injury open up the possibility that he was
defending himself? You reject that possibility without qualification.
Zimmerman claims his head was being banged against a curb. Now we have
a photo with a bleeding injury on the back of his head. ABC News
claims exclusive rights to the photo.

Perhaps you need to recall what is required for a conviction in this
country. The fact that Zimmerman acted with malice, not in his own
defense, has to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Dr Dershowitz
seems to think the prosecutor is rushing to judgement and excluding
evidence that does not aid her case. He also stated that this case
(2nd degree murder) should be dismissed out of hand. Seems like
manslaughter would be a more reasonable charge.

Remember what it takes to get a conviction in this country. Second
degree murder has to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The burden
of proof is on the prosecution as it should be. Zimmerman claims his
head was being banged against a curb. Now we have a photo from ABC
News of a bleeding injury on the back of Zimmerman's head. That could
be considered reasonable doubt. Could it not ?

I would also think the proximity of the shot could be determined by
analyzing Trayvon's clothes. If they were scuffling, there should be
flash burns. That will come out in the trial, I'm sure.

The injury (if it really existed at the time of the shooting) opens up
the possibility of an altercation.

> claims exclusive rights to the photo.

Again: how does "exclusive rights" come into this?

Not unless it can be shown that the photo was taken at the time.

Yup.

But for right now, you'll suppose anything and believe anything that
tends to exonerate Zimmerman while simultaneously objecting to any
suppositions that you disagree with.

Since you have absolutely no idea if Zimmerman's story is valid or not,

What is a fact is that when Zimmerman called 911 to report another black
person in his neighborhood, they told him to back off. Did he? No.

What is a fact is that Zimmerman called the police and reported a
suspicious person. The next fact is that police asked him to describe
his physical characteristics. However, if your only news sources have
are NBC or affiliated with NBC we can see how you have been misled by
the NBC again.

The police never told Zimmerman to "back off."

Your facts, as usual, have no basis in reality.

No, he reported a person he thought looked suspicious. Not the same
thing, because it was just his biased perspective that turned a kid
walking to his Dad's house, with a bag of Skittles, into a probable
criminal.

Then he killed him, even though the police told him to back off.

I defend him because I sympathize with the situation of that
neighborhood. Eight reported burglaries in a year. Would have been
worse if they were not a gated community.

The subject of race was brought up by the 911 operator. Why will you
not ever consider that he may be telling the truth? I agree he should
have backed off if instructed to do so. But, does he lose the right to
defend himself because he didn't?

work for a living. I am a homeowner. My wife and I pay our taxes and
we also pay our bills.

There is a witness who says that Trayvon was getting the best of
Zimmerman in a physical altercation. Plus there is the photo of the
back of Zimmerman's head bleeding. I believe that there will be more
evidence to come out in the trial and let the chips fall where they
may. I just hope this does not turn out to be a travesty like the OJ
trial. (ie how could the jury ignore that Ron Goldman's blood was
found in the white Bronco?)

I am not desperate at all.

Otherwise, best regards.

You serious? Zimmerman stalked and killed a kid who was staying in that
neighborhood. The aggressor doesn't get to claim self-defense.

He does if he was getting his ass kicked. That has been reported by a
witness. Remember the photo of Zimmerman bleeding from the back of his
head. Short of Zimmerman initiating the hostilities, it doesn't matter
what happened leading up to that. That has been reported.

And you will find some reason for this witness to not be considered

Zimmerman stalked the kid, AFTER the 911 operator told him to stand
down. True or false? If you kill someone because you're losing a fight
that you picked, that is not self defense. Sweet pickled Jesus, I hope
you understand that much.

The police never told Zimmerman to back off. You and your buddies have
said that there was an inference in being told "we don't need you to do

an idiot. Well, you can't have it both ways. Either he was smart enough

A retarded person could possibly interpret "Ok, we don't need you to do
that" as something other than "stand the fuck down right now". Maybe
Zimmerman was an idiot like you.

The 911 dispatcher did, and Zimmerman had nothing but his own prejudices
to identify the kid as "real suspicious" in the first place. There is no
"inference" in being told "we don't needy you to do that" - it's bloody
obvious to anyone with an IQ above room temperature. Apparently that is
something else Zimmerman shares with you wingnuts, busy re-writing
history so desperately.

You don't know who started the shit. Neither do I, but I cited a story
saying that Martin started it.

I read it. Did you?

"But one man's testimony could be key for the police.

"The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me:
'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.

Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.

The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not
want to be shown on camera.

His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up
Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of
Zimmerman.

"When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating
up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he
was dead at that point," John said."

That sure sounds to me like Trayvon was kicking Zimmerman's ass. Now,
explain to me if this is true, why does Zimmerman not get to defend
himself. If someone is on top of me banging my head on a curb and I
have a gun, I open fire period. What happened previously is of no
consequence.

A caveat here is the audio experts saying that the screams belonged to
Trayvon. I recognize that. I have recognized that.

You are totally inflexible, just like Bobby accuses me of being.

MSNBC and NBC News launched broadcasts from their new studios at NBC's
"30 Rock" complex in New York City on October 22, 2007.[29] After
extensive renovations of the associated studios, NBC essentially merged
its entire news operation into one building, and all MSNBC broadcasts,
as well as the NBC Nightly News program, originate in the new studios.
More than 12.5 hours of live television across the NBC News family
originate from the New York studios daily. MSNBC is also expected to
expand West Coast operations, as the channel recently[when?] announced
new studios near the Universal Studios lot, which will assemble all NBC
West Coast news operations in one building. MSNBC's Master Control did
not make the move to 30 Rock. It remained in the old Secaucus
headquarters until it completed its move to the NBC Universal Network
Origination Center located inside the CNBC Global Headquarters building
in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, on December 21, 2007. Shortly
thereafter, Major League Baseball firmed up a long-term lease of the
former MSNBC building to become the home studios of MLB Network, which
launched from the facility on January 1, 2009.

For instance, channel 4 here in DFW used to be the CBS affiliate for
years. Due to various purchases and such, they became the Fox Network
affiliate. Clarice Tinsley has been a talking head for channel 4 for
decades, way before Fox Network or Fox News even existed. Do you
think she became a right wing maniac manipulating the news all over
the place since her station became affiliated with Fox Network? I
don't. I think that she is the same Clarice.

The whole issue is Zimmerman's pathological eagerness to apprehend this
alleged criminal who turned out to be an innocent kid walking home from
the store. He could have just followed the kid home, which would have
been creepy and weird enough on its own. But no. He had to go and
fucking kill him.

And that would be tragic enough on its own. But now, having no real
evidence to the contrary, ideologues like yourself insist on defending
Zimmerman. Why? You have no earthly idea what happened. Jesus.

Only to someone who can't read. Since you were so enamored of
Wikipedia here's the first couple of paragraphs on their listing for
MSNBC.

MSNBC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


MSNBC (stylized as msnbc) is a cable news channel based in the United
States available in the US, South Africa, the Middle East and Canada.
Its name is derived from the most common abbreviations for Microsoft
and the National Broadcasting Company.[6]

msnbc.com, a separate company, is the central news website for the NBC
News family, featuring interactivity and multimedia plus original
stories and video which augment the content from NBC News and
partners.[7

Ok. So, according to your cite, 911 told Zimmerman to stand down and he
didn't. A short time later, Trayvon Martin was dead.

No, I don't agree with that. "Stand down" are your words. I believe
that the 911 operator was not emphatic enough. Additionally, where did
we get the transcript of the 911 call? I believe that is in the public
domain. Even though NBC News tried to filter it.

It doesn't matter. Zimmerman was never told to stand-down or back-off.
When it gets into court and the 911 dispatcher is on the witness stand
and it is found that the 911 dispatcher has told people explicitly not
to do things during previous calls then your argument will fall apart.

Zimmerman was a cop wannabe and he was trying to protect his
neighborhood from additional criminal acts as he stated in his contact
with the 911 dispatcher.

A few years ago we had a rash of criminal incidents in my neighborhood.
We questioned anyone who didn't belong here. We kept our eyes on the
criminals who live in the townhouses and condos across the field. Were
we justified? Yes, because these criminals bragged about stealing items
from cars and decks while they were on the school bus. Both
neighborhoods ride the same bus to school.

Sorry to pull a Baker on you, but they did NOT tell him to back off.
They said "you don't need to do that". And if you listen to the 911
call, Zimmerman didnt know the race of the person until be faced him.
But you keep up the DailyKOS narrative.

You got your "fact" wrong. The dispatcher asked what his race was,
Zim said he wasn't sure, Alan.

> they told him to back off. Did he? No.

Another erronious "fact". He was told "you don't have to do that",
not "don't follow him".

Are you going to rally in Tallahassee against the "stand your ground"
law?

Do you walk unarmed through the nigger neighborhoods in your area at
night?

Are you the type who thinks that when they invade your home you're
going to have all the time in the world to call 911?

If you did get through do you think they will show at your house in 60
seconds?

If you answered yes - then your as big a fool as you sound, Alan.
