Well, you can never crush a witness hard enough, specially not the main witness, unless you in some way makes the jury sympathize with her because of your ownage. | ||

She's probably the only one that can rebut Zimmerman's claim of self defense, despite her liabilities. There's no getting around it. So yes, if they are going to try the case, then they have to put her on. The real issue is whether they should have tried this case to begin with as opposed to dropping the charges. In all seriousness do you honestly think they CAN drop the case without setting loose a huge shitstorm? Obviously I'm European, so I might be mistaken, but so far it seems to me, that no matter how weak their case might be they need this to at least appear in front of judge and jury to make up for the horrendous way the case was handled by the police a year ago. If the police had investigated properly immediately they might have been able to drop it back then, but the way they refused to investigate anything until the media went berserk if they simply dropped it now (or some months ago, when it was clear this case was/is weak) many people would have screamed about coverups and other stupid stuff. | ||

Yeah, this is exactly right. The Defense still needs to show that she has been changing her story about what happened when she was talking with Trayvon on the phone. | ||

There are live streams of trials in the US? This feels like watching Gyakuten Saiban (Phoenix Wright) in real life, without the fancy quirks of course. Are there dedicated websites / streams for these things or is this an exception? + Show Spoiler + | ||

I have no doubt that political considerations are at play here. | ||

I don't think an ace can play flash without rooting etc. This impeachment isn't as easy to do as it looks. When you have a witness who is actually stupid it is difficult to move logically from point a to b even if it is obvious to everyone else. He has to get this on the record somehow. Yeah. It's hard to distinguish between stupidity and lies. | ||

So basically, she admitted that the Crumps interview wasn't done "seriously", then she said under oath that what she said during the interview was the facts. GGWP. | ||
