I’m assuming the medical report, which iirc said the abrasion was consistent with hitting someone, will be presented by the defense. The fact he was right handed doesn’t prevent someone from hitting another with their left hand. We’ll have to see what the defense presents.

Yes the defense will indeed present a case as their motion to dismiss the case was denied.

There’s not a lot definitive about this case except Zimmerman is a liar and a man is dead.
Those two facts are established.

That, and a lead detective sharing his opinion that Zimmerman told the truth. Of course, the jury, after being reminded what the officer said, were told to forget that. …I’m sure they’ve wiped it from their memories…

Having been on a jury for a capital crime, let me tell you …

That isn’t going to happen. :rolleyes:

(Just as you indicated)

Of course not. They are not to discuss it in deliberations, but it is there. They heard it (twice!) and can’t unhear it.

Not always, Captain um well Un-Obvious? Hmm. Ok then.

Really? Which trials that haven’t been dismissed after the prosecution has presented their case have you seen where the defense didn’t get to present their case? And, I mean in the US.

I’m sure some of those who have already determined Zimmerman’s guilt might prefer a kangaroo court, but thankfully, and obviously, trials do proceed this way in the US. I’m sorry if that isn’t obvious to you. 🤷

Opinion is the operative word. It’s for the jury to decide.
We already know he’s a liar by the testimony,

Do you ever comment on the actual testimony? Just post links? Do you watch it?
Just comments that are like “Mr. Obvious” how bizarre to posters I thought forum courtesy was discuss the topic not the posters Not everyone is courteous though.
Just my OPINION
and that is the operative word. Good grief.

Carry on in the usual manner…

Her experience as a juror is not relevant to this case.

It’s relevant to the discussion of whether jurors will strike something from their memory when deliberating. That’s what she was responding to. She made no claim that her experience as a juror would have an impact on Zimmerman’s faith. Your comments are odd.
