Trayvon had drugs in his system and all injuries show signs of a struggle.

Its foolish for black people to believe in the judicial system. For what?

Most people in jail are black, theres more of us in there then in college.

If you think thats deserving, then you probaly think there were no Indians here before Columbus...

This whole case is a fraudulent ordeal.

All its about now is coming up with an acceptable reason to the non black public for Zimmerman to walk.

By the timethe trial comes they will have Trayvon Martin lookin like C- Murder or Lil Boosie.....they'll probably bring up whats on

Trayons IPOD and pick the most violent song to say, "see what that nigger was listening to" because thats what we are to them

Thugs and NIggers, that includes our parents, ancestors, and future family. Guilty before a crime is even committed.

This is not about justice, true justice has been shunned.

Now it's all about Amerikkka's Fears.....their Fear is us, all of us, and when that fear is activated they want to be able to strike, right or wrong.

"This is a Nation by white people and for white people, native americans, blacks, and all the other non- white people were to be the burden bearers for the real citizens of this nation"

To the people saying Zimmerman is not white, no he's white, he's mixed with some latin.

And beyond that he killed Trayvon on racist terms, claiming he did not belong in a neighborhood he was actually staying in.

Furthermore what the Black Community is raving about is a few things....the lack of an immedate arrest, and the fact there is even a trial when the facts are clear......Zimmerman followed and shot down Trayvon who was unarmed.

There was no reason to do that.

And thats all the case is about...finding a rason to say it's Ok what Zimmerman did, and finding some reason any reason to say

that the black kid deserved.....he had to deserve it.....he's black.

that's a very manipulated stat...it's half true...but only if you include blacks of all ages not just of college age

Formulate and post an argument that proves me wrong, and you'll be correct.

Otherwise, refer to my above post.

 

[desertrain10]

@fiat, that aggressor clause 776.041 is not available to anyone attempting to commit, or in the act of committing a felony, which could be argued by the prosecution that Zimmerman committed aggravated battery on trayvon 1st. so if is unknown who confronted who, or who landed the first punch, you could also say the law does not apply here.

true, the writer of the law is not about refutation, I would still consider his opinion to be valid. I would think he has more information on the case then the rest of the public.

im out tho, have to continue this on another day.

.

They could argue that; just like how they're arguing it was not self-defense. They'd still have to show not only that Zimmerman was the aggressor, but that he was a physical aggressor. Of course, the defense could easily argue the opposite, or that there is a lack of supporting evidence for the prosecution's claim.

So, since the mere ability to argue something does not make it true; the fact that the prosecution could argue that Zimmerman was the physical aggressor would not be enough invalidate the usage of 776.041.

the thing is both sides could make the same claim. so if you say the law can apply to Zimmerman, as you have been doing, you would have to extend the same rule to Trayvon to be fair. No, the mere ability to argue something doesn't make it fact, the fact as it stands right now is, the moment of confrontation was not witnessed, so you have to take what was witnessed by ear, at that moment and use that to make the best determination you can. Fact is, trayvon was on the phone with his girlfriend and by her account, she heard someone asking him what was he doing there, she then says she heard what appeared to be someone falling to the ground hitting what sounded like grass, and at that point she no longer could make contact with trayvon on the phone. take it for what its worth and you also have to take into account all of the documented events leading up to the incident . Ive served jury duty before, and its not ever open and shut.

I covered the bolded on page 4 of this thread:

...And it's not publicly known who confronted who yet. However, had Treyvon been able to kill Zimmerman instead, he could also claim self-defense.

Treyvon's girlfriend's account and Zimmerman's account both say that Treyvon asked Zimmerman why he was following him

and Zimmerman responded; so the two are in agreement there. Zimmerman's account, however, claims that Treyvon approached him from behind before asking him that; of which there is no proof at the moment. Zimmerman also claims Treyvon punched him--knocking him down--after they talked (which also lacks proof at the moment); so if she heard "what appeared to be someone falling to the ground hitting what sounded like grass", then that could apply to either Treyvon or Zimmerman being hit.

ok, but she also said that trayvon had told her that he ran. she also heard trayvon breathing heavily. and than trayvon told her he "lost him".... after all that why on earth would trayvon purposely turn back around only to attack zimmerman from behide? make no sense...

and it seems unlikely gz after losing sight of trayvon after following him for a good 5-10 minutes would just give up casually turn his back to walk back to his car if he indeed believed trayvon was a suspicious character, especially if trayvon was indeed circling his car....just doesn't sound right....

she also said she could faintly hear trayvon yelling "get off of me" shortly after she heard the phone drop or w/e .... which also conflicts w/ gz account

The girlfriend's account of Treyvon losing Zimmerman is in agreement with Zimmerman's account that he lost Treyvon, and the 911 call. The underlined is conjecture.

First, she says she heard something hit the grass.

Followed by saying she heard no screaming like "help me".

She says she got no answer when calling back after the phone shut off.

Then she says the last thing she heard was some kind of noise like something hitting somebody.

Next, she says she could hear a "little bit like a little get off some stuff".

Finally she says she could've heard Treyvon, before affirmatively saying she could hear a little bit that it was Treyvon.

^^Disregarding the strength/weakness of this testimony; Treyvon saying "get off me" doesn't dispute Zimmerman's claim that Treyvon punched him and they fought, nor does it dispute witness statements about seeing the two of them scuffling and/or rolling around on the ground.

zimmerman claimed trayvon first words to him was "do you have a problem" ( that's in dispute), gz said no and than tm said "well you do now" as he proceeded to punch gz in the nose knocking him to the ground. after that tm climbed on top of him and began slamming his head into the sidewalk ...

this and gz's claim that tm circled his truck, which he failed to mention to the dispatcher, just doesn't jive w/ the the gf testimony at all as far as trayvon being the initial aggressor .... she described a boy who was scared and not looking for a physical confrontation ....

gz conversation with the dispatcher and his past transgressions paint the picture of an hyper aggressive vigilante

and it seems unlikely gz after losing sight of trayvon after following him for a good 5-10 minutes would just give up casually turn his back to walk back to his car if he indeed believed trayvon was a suspicious character, especially if trayvon was indeed circling his car....just doesn't sound right....

she also said she could faintly hear trayvon yelling "get off of me" shortly after she heard the phone drop or w/e .... which also conflicts w/ gz account

The girlfriend's account of Treyvon losing Zimmerman is in agreement with Zimmerman's account that he lost Treyvon, and the 911 call. The underlined is conjecture.

First, she says she heard something hit the grass.

Followed by saying she heard no screaming like "help me".

She says she got no answer when calling back after the phone shut off.

Then she says the last thing she heard was some kind of noise like something hitting somebody.

Next, she says she could hear a "little bit like a little get off some stuff".

Finally she says she could've heard Treyvon, before affirmatively saying she could hear a little bit that it was Treyvon.

^^Disregarding the strength/weakness of this testimony; Treyvon saying "get off me" doesn't dispute Zimmerman's claim that Treyvon punched him and they fought, nor does it dispute witness statements about seeing the two of them scuffling and/or rolling around on the ground.

zimmerman claimed trayvon first words to him was "do you have a problem" ( that's in dispute), gz said no and than tm said "well you do now" as he proceeded to punch gz in the nose knocking him to the ground. after that tm climbed on top of him and began slamming his head into the sidewalk ...

just doesn't jive w/ the the gf testimony at all as far as trayvon being the initial aggressor .... she described a boy who was scared and not looking for a physical confrontation ....

gz conversation with the dispatcher and his past transgressions paint the picture of an hyper aggressive vigilante

The bolded gets chalked up to being her words against his.

And the underlined is character speculation; which is something I don't get into.

gz has a million and 1 more reasons to lie than the girl wouldn't you agree?

@ bolded sure the prosecution will though. as we all know character evidence for the purpose of proving that a person acted in a particular way on a particular occasion based on the disposition of that person is admissible in the court of law.

and its probable gz defense lawyer will continue to further assassinate trayvon's character just as much of the media has done for weeks now...

however the character evidence, 911 tapes, gf testimony together doesn't favor gz ...

really regardless of the law... gz defense is not so strong as some people would like to believe

They do use character speculation in court, but I avoid such speculation in arguments out of laziness; whether it would support my claims, or refute others'. I'd negate any character-based speculation that I come up with anyway.

Things that are factual/concrete are easier to deal with.

That's why I prefer math/science to the humanities.

So yeh, I don't get into that.

yea

but scientists/economist/statisticians sometimes project future climate change.....needs for future generations ....economic growth... based on certain characteristics pertaining their fields of study etc

and ok character analysis may not be a exact science, not @ all... but wouldn't it be fair for me to assume or argue that fiat wouldn't date a fat woman based on fiat's posts on the IC, your past dating history, interactions w/ fat people etc... lol

These are based on calculations using known values and assumed variables. The human mind combined with the environment around them has too many variables for me to speculate about how someone would respond in various situations with any validity.

It's one thing to speculate about how fiat_money would react to circumstances he's talked about and that he's been in before; but speculating about how someone you don't know would act in an uncommon, one-time situation involving another person you don't know is a whole different matter.

@fiat, that aggressor clause 776.041 is not available to anyone attempting to commit, or in the act of committing a felony, which could be argued by the prosecution that Zimmerman committed aggravated battery on trayvon 1st. so if is unknown who confronted who, or who landed the first punch, you could also say the law does not apply here.

true, the writer of the law is not about refutation, I would still consider his opinion to be valid. I would think he has more information on the case then the rest of the public.

im out tho, have to continue this on another day.

.

They could argue that; just like how they're arguing it was not self-defense. They'd still have to show not only that Zimmerman was the aggressor, but that he was a physical aggressor. Of course, the defense could easily argue the opposite, or that there is a lack of supporting evidence for the prosecution's claim.

So, since the mere ability to argue something does not make it true; the fact that the prosecution could argue that Zimmerman was the physical aggressor would not be enough invalidate the usage of 776.041.

the thing is both sides could make the same claim. so if you say the law can apply to Zimmerman, as you have been doing, you would have to extend the same rule to Trayvon to be fair. No, the mere ability to argue something doesn't take into account all of the documented events leading up to the incident . Ive served jury duty before, and its not ever open and shut.

I covered the bolded on page 4 of this thread:

...And it's not publicly known who confronted who yet. However, had Treyvon been able to kill Zimmerman instead, he could also claim self-defense.

Treyvon's girlfriend's account and Zimmerman's account both say that Treyvon asked Zimmerman why he was following him

and Zimmerman responded; so the two are in agreement there. Zimmerman's account, however, claims that Treyvon approached him from behind before asking him that; of which there is no proof at the moment. Zimmerman also claims Treyvon punched him--knocking him down--after they talked (which also lacks proof at the moment); so if she heard "what appeared to be someone falling to the ground hitting what sounded like grass", then that could apply to either Treyvon or Zimmerman being hit.

considering gz past, it wouldn't be a reach to conclude dude is a hot head with a penchant for violence

Damn! desertrain you shitted on him!

character analysis is pretty much used in the field of psychology. You know the people that study human interactions, social, behaviors, and so forth. Oh, yea -- Arent they also called "doctors"? Wait, arent doctors, how do you say, experts in a field of the human studies? mmm... Character analysis would actually work in this case.

Poor fiat..

you lose again.

Like Ive previously stated, you're just basing your opinion on a case without all of the facts.
