Lets talk about "hope" you fucking scumbag Zimmerman attorney

[maxrandb]

The smirking bastard asked Trayvon's mother if she had "hoped her son hadn't done something to cause his own death"?

Man, I could never be a prosecutor, because the next few questions I would have asked would have been;

"Did you "hope" that your son could return from a store without some asshat describing him as a "fucking punk" who "always gets away"?

"Did you "hope" that someone wouldn't identify your son as a criminal, just because of the way he looked"?

"Did you "hope" that the person who had been told to not follow your son, had quit following him"?

"Did you "hope" that your son could walk through his neighborhood and not have some guy with a loaded gun tracking him"?

"Did you "hope" that your son can walk home from the store, without some guy with a loaded gun harassing him for no reason?"

1. You'd make a good prosecutor in this case.

2. Yeah, that was a terrible question. What was he thinking? Horrible question. To the Mom, no less.nt

3. There was no way he was going to look good cross examining her.

He should have never asked any questions. It's not like she was going to change her testimony, and he ended up looking like a bully.

As for "scumbag" attorneys: it seems to me that everyone hates lawyers until they need one.

7. Agreed on all points.

The adversarial system is messy. But this guy misfired on that question for sure.

8. Let's "hope" that question comes back to bite him on the ass

What a hideous, hideous thing to ask a person who's lost a child.

[quinnox]

5. wow, that is a horrid question to ask

This defense attorney needs to get a heart transplant, so that he can have one.

6. Add this: 'Did you 'hope' your dead son would not be put on trial in this courtroom?'

The judge should have intervened to stop that swine from 'going there.'

Perhaps the intent is allow the defense to suffocate their client with filth.

Thanks for expressing my outrage at this scumbag and his attorney.

9. Looks like he was 'hoping' Trayvon's mother would indicate she was concerned

that Trayvon was headed for trouble somewhere along the way anyway. Smarmy bastard lawyer speaking.
