Right now in court, the Hannity/Zimmerman interview is being played

[CatWoman]

Zimmerman is soooo full of it.

[noiretextatique]

1. sadly his "but he was a scary black guy" defense

still seems to work in america.

[gollygee]

14. It seems to work among some people right here at DU

And not all trolls. If that's the case, a worry about a jury in a more conservative area.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. And Hannity is such a douchebag. nt

[Cirque du So-What]

4. If only

that smarmy douchenozzle could end up in the dock for sedition someday. Racist prick.

[madaboutharry]

3. This is a concocted pile of bullshit.

[Generic Other]

5. Zimmerman concerned because the public has rushed to judgment???

Wow. That's rich.

Well Zimmerman rushed to judge too. If he hadn't, we wouldn't be in court today!!!

Why do I want to break his nose again?

[CatWoman]

6. and what was he smiling about after the tape/interview ended

Patting himself on the back for a "job well done"???

[pokerfan]

8. and how is killing Trayvon in any sense, a remotely good thing?

Hannity asked him about the regular (non-Fox) portrayal of the incident and George replied that the media takes a "remotely good story" and puts a bad spin on it for ratings. What's the good story here, George? That you're a superhero crime-fighter?

11. I couldn't believe my ears when he said that.

I had to rewind the DVR.

And, that smile or grin afterwards. What was that about?

[pokerfan]

7. It just ended

and the court camera showed Zimmerman grinning ear-to-ear. Look, I'm a celebrity! I was on TV!

[CatWoman]

9. doctor (pathologist?) on now for prosecution

and says his wounds were NOT life threatening - only required band aids (as noted by the PA)

[dballance]

10. Why on earth would the judge allow that?

That makes no sense to me.

[Ruby the Liberal]

12. "anything you say can and will be used against you..."

He claimed on Hannity that he never heard of SYG before the incident.

Prosecution just announced intent to show that he had a freaking course on it in 2010 - complete with term paper...

[stevenleser]

16. Wow, that plus claiming he has all these injuries and was afraid for his life after that ME said he

had no significant injuries... his clearly provable lies on significant points are beginning to pile up.

[enough]

13. What was the context? Why was a TV interview being played in a trial?

[CatWoman]

15. don't know

I tuned in to the trial and it was on

[Ruby the Liberal]

17. He said in the Hannity interview that he never heard of SYG law before.

Soon after they aired it - the prosecutors submitted to the court his 2010 course records on SYG law (he was in community college for LEO at the time), including the term paper he wrote on the subject.

Defense objected and the ruling on admissibility of SYG is tomorrow.

18. Thanks Ruby. (nt)
