    So, a question for those off you who know more about these things? How long would a typical trial like this take if it wasn't for the media dog & pony show???

    3 days? A week??:dunno:

    Ok, how long till prosecution rests? How long till defense rests? How long till jury deliberations?

    Don't they usually loosely schedule how long a trial will last?
    Are we there yet? :laugh:

    You are 100% correct. There is an amazing amount of posing, grandstanding, and CYA going on in this case. It's not even a 1st. Degree murder case. These are processed routinely in 2 days or less. Anything past 3 days would be very rare. Everyone involved has their own agenda and own reason for wanting it to last as long as possible.

    Sounds like he was looking for trouble and found it. He should have backed off like instructed by the police
    Ooooooo... A troll! And a really stupid, Kool-Aid drinking one at that.

    Hey, dips***t! What color is the sky in your world, where the 911 operators are sworn law enforcement officers? Stop Googling for gay German Scheiße porn long enough to go find me a law anywhere that says that what any low-paid, local government employee tells you constitutes a lawful order.

    And since when did a sentence like, "Yeah... We don't need you to do that.", become a direct an unambiguous command to stop an activity? That not withstanding, show me the evidence that Zimmerman DIDN'T stop following. Oh... Wait... THERE ISN'T ANY! The race-based scenario you and others of your ilk have contrived, to make sure that this event fits your delusional view of the world, is not evidence. Hell... It's not even fact.

    Crawl back under whatever bridge you call home and STFU.

    We can do with the profanity uncivil language. Disagree all you want, but be an adult.

    I caught part of that line of questioning. You aren't allowed Single Action SA pistols with no thumb safety, so the above would be okay I guess.

    You should still give me your high end 1911s. Just to be safe.;)

    Yeah. Let's defend the trolls who join the forum just to spread their left wing stupidity.

    Trayvon was nothing but a wannabe thug who picked a fist fight with an armed man. The world is not the least bit lessened by his demise.

    You and the troll don't need to defend him, Al "Velour Tracksuit" Sharpton and the rest of Race-Baiters, Inc. got it covered.

    :-P

    Wanna bet on if the defense gets it?:D

    I'll take the bet. The Judge gets no mileage out of approving a motion to dismiss. Nor will the Judge grant a directed verdict at teh conclusion of the trial. The Judge does not want to become a political whipping boy, its much easier to pass the buck to the jury.

    I too am betting he doesn't grant it. No judge in his right mind is putting his weiner on the chopping block for something as preposterous as doing the right thing.:D
