Highlight:

Looks like the Zimmerman prosecution might have a bunch of holes [View all] dkf Apr 2012 OP

Holes because of the shoddy police work -- like not bothering to get blood alcohol from Zimmerman, pnwmom Apr 2012 #1

I don't think the prosecution wants to give O'Mara any advantage in the trial. tabatha Apr 2012 #2

Exactly. It was only a bail hearing for christ sake. Solomon Apr 2012 #3

yes. magical thyme Apr 2012 #10

The hearing was about granting bail Thinkingabout Apr 2012 #4

You are aware that this was just a bond hearing, right? Cali_Democrat Apr 2012 #5

Lol. I started to say that. The op is definitely "keep Solomon Apr 2012 #8

The OP is has consistent concern that Zimmerman isn't being treated right CreekDog Apr 2012 #11

Agree. But,some linger on, oddly. Gold Metal Flake Apr 2012 #156

Lol. I had a co-worker explain that arresting Zimmerman Solomon Apr 2012 #43

and some of us are concerned about a young black boy getting justice CatWoman Apr 2012 #22

It might not be possible because of the particulars of the law. dkf Apr 2012 #30

I don't believe Zimmerman's story. He's a racist and a murderer, and he should rot Arkana Apr 2012 #151

... NNN0LHI Apr 2012 #25

Now you're referring to him as Hispanic...and then why did you advocate for Arizona's Immig. Bill? CreekDog Apr 2012 #42

I think some of the concern may be for Whisp Apr 2012 #52

I didn't jump to conclusions kudzu22 Apr 2012 #7

The main point is that Trayvon Martin didn't approach Zimmerman. It was the other way around. no_hypocrisy Apr 2012 #9

Zimmerman said he lost him then Martin approached. dkf Apr 2012 #15

yet CatWoman Apr 2012 #29

How do you know that from the call with the girlfriend? dkf Apr 2012 #32

.... CatWoman Apr 2012 #35

This is what she said: dkf Apr 2012 #53

let's see where you've argued for fairness for Trayvon Martin? CreekDog Apr 2012 #55

all the OP's post on this subject seem to be headed in the same direction maddezmom Apr 2012 #62

Yikes. I'd seen enough others to wince...and what does the aggregate of this advocacy say? CreekDog Apr 2012 #70

You can't get fairness for Trayvon Martin. His dying was the ultimate in unfairness. dkf Apr 2012 #65

I'd like someone to ask Zimmerman what he was doing Daalalou Apr 2012 #37

Didn't you know that Black people are NOT allowed to walk to ANY destination? BumRushDaShow Apr 2012 #12

I've heard there is another state investigator who knows a lot more about the case. MoonRiver Apr 2012 #14

Goodness do the lead investigators not know what the other does? dkf Apr 2012 #19

I don't know MoonRiver Apr 2012 #26

The investigators were appointed by Angela Corey. It's not part of the early crew. dkf Apr 2012 #34

you sure like defending Zimmerman, don't you? CatWoman Apr 2012 #16

you seem very cavalier about Trayvon Martin's death, imo maddezmom Apr 2012 #27

thanks god I'm not the only one who sees this CatWoman Apr 2012 #28

Trust me, you aren't obamanut2012 Apr 2012 #91

It's a tragedy. It always was no matter what happens at trial. dkf Apr 2012 #40

are you saying that it's a tragedy for both of them, almost an equally bad tragedy for both? CreekDog Apr 2012 #63

Actually I was specifically thinking of Trayvon Martin. He sounded like a really nice kid. dkf Apr 2012 #67

yeah you really sound like an advocate for Trayvon here maddezmom Apr 2012 #75

I like to think I advocate for facts and full knowledge and disclosure. dkf Apr 2012 #81

You May Like To Think That, Ma'am, But It Is A Distinctly Minority Opinion The Magistrate Apr 2012 #101

i guess you don't have any posts explaining that CreekDog Apr 2012 #82

egads! dionysus Apr 2012 #51

That was a post of someone else's that the particulars had not been asked due to sensitivity. dkf Apr 2012 #56

Well the things you post are interesting Rex Apr 2012 #58

You asked it downthread in your own words and you're dishonest about doing so here CreekDog Apr 2012 #59

Almost as interesting in those things we imply in our posts. LanternWaste Apr 2012 #143

dkf attempted to mislead by saying that she only posted that thread because others were interested CreekDog Apr 2012 #154

WTFFFS? Rex Apr 2012 #57

on any given subject, there are posts like that and there are concerns on things we all agree on CreekDog Apr 2012 #61

It would prove nothing even with a timestamp. Chan790 Apr 2012 #97

I agree with you, whatever the situation you have the right to self defense. Rex Apr 2012 #98

Does O'Mara have access to all the evidence already? dkf Apr 2012 #133

O'Mara has been provided the discovery available to this point. There may be more discovery, msanthrope Apr 2012 #135

Very interesting analysis. dkf Apr 2012 #138

Huh, are you by chance hoping that Zimmerman is acquitted? LaurenG Apr 2012 #139

I'm interested in seeing the evidence and how it plays out. dkf Apr 2012 #141
