Attendees at today’s proceedings recalled juror B-29 appearing seemingly uninterested and avoiding contact with Jeantel to focus more on West." Probably some idiots being overzealous. No acusations or assumptions were made by her constantly focusing on the Martin's. It was simply stated. You see to be doing more of the overzealous approach here calling people idiots and your comment about fox readers. Relax dude, I just wanted to know if there was some how people were looking at something other than what I could see. Move on, let it go. | ||

I am not familiar enough with the Florida system. It's difficult to find base source material, but if this Miami legal blog and the other materials I've found are any indication, Zimmerman can indeed be found guilty of lesser charges even if the greater one is tossed aside. | ||

I don't think that will happen in this case. If they prove self defense, it will all get thrown at as it was legal shooting at that point. | ||

Proving self defense and introducing reasonable doubt in regards to murder are different things though. If the jury does become convinced of his self-defense, then lesser charges are almost certainly tossed aside, but that might not be the perspective they take in rendering a not guilty of second degree murder. | ||

It's true that refreshing the memory is legitimate, but you're also playing devil's advocate a bit, and you know that. People often ignore or forget what truthfully happened and instead use fragments to logically work out what they think likely happened and then that replaces memories in their mind. Everyone, literally everyone, does it. Memory is not as good as we think, memory fails us very often, and when it does, we reconstruct events after the fact. | ||
