In reply to the discussion: George Zimmerman Lawyers: 'Withdrawing As Counsel; Lost Contact With Him' [View all]xxqqqzme
(14,887 posts)138. After watching multiple
replays and clips of the 'withdrawing' attorneys, I don't believe this for one second. They are setting up the 'shaken baby' defense and they are referencing his suffering PTSD. ALL bullshit! That is an insult to anyone experiencing the after effects of brain trauma.
I want to see some hospital records if his head was slammed into the pavement so hard he suffered brain trauma. I know the slam my brain took to send me into a coma for 3 days (my brother said it looked like my forehead/temple skin had been drawn over a baseball).
These are defense attorneys. They are practiced in the art of courtroom acting and drama. I do not believe them for a second!

I don't think he should be charged if there is insufficent evidence against him.

The letter that Zimmerman supposedly wrote? The one that no one heard about until last week?

With Frothy out, there's now room for someone to come into the race from the Right. He has the NRA.

Since there is no warrant for his arrest, I guess he could just leave, period.

From his domestic assault records on the net, he went rogue years ago. Like Mad Dog rogue.

Wouldn't be an arrest. It would be lying in court if it gets there. They're lying in public now.

It's been so bizarre, that without the footage from the police station, I'd doubt he ever existed.

The local police actually did take in his gun as evidence the night of the shooting.

This man killed a child in cold blood. It is not up to us to determine why. Race doesn't matter.
