Only in fucking Florida could they confuse the meaning of a charge

Just my two cents

1. asking for clarification isn't unusual

why does that bother you or is this an anti Florida thing

[bigdarryl]

2. Yeh Florida is FUCKED UP!!! politically that is

With there crazy ass laws and the people keep voting these nuts back into office.The last polling I saw was the Governor was in good shape for reelection with all the crazy shit he's done you would think the Floridians are tired of this but apparently not

3. Castle doctorine

Castle doctorine is inneffect in every state this is basic self defense. Not SYG which is allowed in over a dozen states.

4. Remember the joke from Don West about the jury pretty much being idiots!?

Asking questions about a particular area of the law is perfectly fine, but I find it pretty surprising that there were people in the area that didn't know much of anything about what happened between Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. Most people throughout the COUNTRY knew about the case!

5. By the terms of that joke I'd have been on the jury

Had far better things to do than obsess over some case that was months away from trial.

Until the trial began, I pretty much knew what my students told me in the first 24 hours after the shooting.

With two exceptions. There was the "fucking punks" hearing and mishearing, which I found amusing.

And there was the gibberish about some forensics "expert" who, in order to get a reasonable-length sample of a signal for which "piss-poor" would constitute absurdly high praise, merely duplicated the same signal multiple times.

The first said a lot about DUers and their letting wants bias their observations.

The second said a lot about the quality of phonetics and acoustics experts and caused me to consider a new career. But even if my knowledge of acoustics, software, and statistics far outclassed that guy I knew I wouldn't be able to do more than a half-assed job and I'd have to live with myself.

Part of the GZ case is interesting because I want to see what the jury says. Another part is interesting because I get to watch group dynamics and the interplay between that and perception and logic. (And another part because I see the same things I see in my classes, and I might learn something about people. I don't do so well with people.)

6. and i suppose YOU know all the ins and outs of the charges

or is it just that you would nonchalantly convict or acquit without said knowledge?
