O'Mara wants to know if the state is going to call #Zimmerman's parents or if they have them on the witness list just to keep them out.

Judge says "Don't no no no me" to O'Mara as he tries to get his way. She urges O'Mara to stay on topic. #Zimmerman
@WildAboutTrial
O'Mara wants the mom and dad on both sides to be removed, "it's only fair" he says. Judge basically says "ain't no body got time for that"
O'Mara pitching a fit because Zimmerman's parents aren't allowed in the court room because they're on the State's witness list
Yea, most people use the that-dispatcher-has-no-authority-to-give-orders argument. Because it's kind of difficult not to acknowledge that it was suggested he stop pursuing the suspect.
Oops, did I say suspect? I meant person. No need to pursue that person, sir.
Based on the police statement that Sneakers so kindly posted it would be absolutely insane if GZ gets off. He clearly shows absolutely no remorse in this interview. Even IF justified, most people would be really shaken and remorseful that they were put in the position of shooting and killing a 17 y/o kid. They wouldn't be calling them a punk or an asshole. Only thing that worries me is FL is a lot like SC, most white women have some degree of prejudice whether they admit it or not. This could very well impact their decision despite whatever the evidence shows.

Well, he is in FL, home of face-eating zombies afterall. But I'm having a hard time linking "we dont need you to do that" with "turning around w/butt back in vehicle"...big stretch in meanings. It is his neighborhood afterall, why should he not feel like he shouldnt walk around in it...especially as part of some sort of neighborhood watch program?
That Esquire article was a great read! Zimmerman's words should do him in along with his actions
Exactly! Why didn't he ID himself as neighborhood watch?
Well Zimmerman of courseYou know it's against the law to be walking while black after dark in South!
here is the transcript f the 911 call http://www.documentcloud.org/documen...zimmerman.html
she says - are you following him
george - yes
disoatch - we don't need you to do that
george - ok
he agreed not to follow him to the dispatcher, if he said no thats when the dispatcher would have said sit your ass down, but he agreed not too!
Yea, dispatch is telling Zimmerman not to walk around the neighborhood? The nerve. And Trayvon was walking around the neighborhood. The nerve.
At what point was he told to turn around? You are having a hard time dealing with facts.
I'm wondering if you are a troll...or someone with some significant comprehension issues.
For a refresher...
At 50:30 Zimmerman says he's running, opens the car door, and follows with corresponding windnoise sounds. At 50:55 dispatcher says "dont need you to do that". You can hear him slowing and stopping as the wind noise subsides. How did he not stop again? Seems like he just was standing around at that point.
Zimmerman was the neighborhood watch guy in case there is some confusion here :)
This is one screwed up situation for sure, but claiming it was a racial thing, or some dirty-harry thing, or just editing the evidence or just flat out ignoring things or making them up alltogether doesnt make a wrong right. Travon probably shouldnt have kicked Zimmermans ass, then this mess wouldnt have turned out like it did.
At this point, the officer asks again why he was following Martin — and Zimmerman flat-out lies. “I wasn’t following him, I was just going in the same direction he was.” The cop just laughs.

It WAS a racial thing, again are you new here? Have you read the history of GZ's calls to the police? He repeatedly called to report black individuals in the neighborhood, even going so far as to report a 9 year old kid. As far as not kicking GZ's ass, where is Trayvons right to defend himself? He was fucking minding his own business, he told the girl he was talking to him that he was being followed. Let someone start slowly following you in a car, then get out of the car and following you down the sidewalk and tell me you are not going to turn around and want to know why you are being followed. This is exactly what he did, it was heard by the person he was on the phone with, he asked, "why are you following me?"Zimmerman was the neighborhood watch guy in case there is some confusion here :)

Then she hears what sounds like a confrontation and the phone was dropped. GZ started a fucking fight and then the little coward shot when he got a bloody nose. I am sorry but self defense law states you can use the force necessary to defend your life. A gunshot for a bloody nose and a bump on the head does not equal life threatening.
