In reply to the discussion: Judge will allow past Zimmerman calls to police as evidence in murder trial [View all]Tommy_Carcetti
(43,256 posts)25. Dorival also testified that it was not NW protocol to follow suspicious persons.
Which Zimmerman did do that night.
That she saw Zimmerman as an involved citizen and thought he might be C.O.P. material, without the benefit of foresight, is not really relevant to the case and the events of February 26, 2012.
I think you really are grasping for straws when you claim that Dorival helped Zimmerman's case.

OP
"Fucking punks" and "These assholes always get away" is calm and professional?

When the jury only had one tape to listen to, you might be right. Now they have 50 tapes

If you actually read the OP, you'd know they will hear 5 of those tapes, not 50.

they will hear something *about* the nearly 50 calls, not "hear 50 calls"

Can the defense call for more of the tapes, now that the judge has ok'd an initial number?

The prosecution undermined the "wannabe cop" argument with one of their own witnesses.

I wonder if he purchased his gun before or after he volunteered for the watch program.

Exactly! Hack89's assessment makes no sense. Why would the prosecution want the evidence

Pre, your support of Zimmerman - including his bigotry and love of guns - is duly noted. Carry on.

Wrong. To justify use of deadly force, the Defense has to prove with a preponderance of evidence.

Except Florida law specifically permits the aggressor to use deadly force in certain circumstances.

It does. 'Ill will.' And that opening statement from the prosecution matches this, too.

+1. The trial is current. The propaganda released in Z's defense doesn't mean it's not news now.
