BREAKING-Judge Revokes Zimmerman's Bond!

[1StrongBlackMan]

149. I don't think you understand ...

How this law works ... Or you would be making statements like:

He hasn't be granted SYG status at this point

SYG is not something that is "granted", it is something that is raised/asserted.

He still has to convince the jury.

No ... Zimmerman does not have to convince a jury of anything. He merely says ... "I shot him; but it was self defense" and if he had been smart, he would have left it at that and not true to convince anyone of anything.

Unless the judge grants SYG status on Zimmerman's word alone.

Again, the judge does not grant the status ... it is raised/asserted AND yes, that assertion is based on zimmerman's word alone.

I'm beginning to think zimmerman's best defenseive tactic might just be to refuse to take the stand and in closing argument say:

"I know you were expecting to hear my client explain why he decided to get out of his truck to follow Trayvon. Or why George decided continued to look for Trayvon, even after the dispatcher suggested that he don't. But under the law, he doesn't have to do that; he merely has to tell you that he acted in self-defense ... It is then the prosecution's burden to, not only explain what happenned, but PROVE that my client did not act in self-defense. And I caution you, that is the only question to be judged ... not what my client may or may not have done, in the moments or days or even years before, or after he pulled the trigger, on that night."
