He who talks less…wins.
That’s the message coming out of the Zimmerman trial today. The general feeling that I had was upon watching the entire replay of the prosecution’s closing arguments and listening to the analysis is that he talked too long and bored the jury. I was bored about halfway through.
I think the defense is going to power slam the prosecution in their closing arguments by pointing to the lack of evidence in the case. And I think they’re not going to talk as long either.
The jury will have the case by tomorrow, unless something goes unexpectedly askew.
I’m pretty sure that police departments across the country are going on alert tomorrow as well, if they haven’t already.
BTW, since when was it racist for police departments to anticipate trouble from a trial, and make plans to deal with any riots that result? I bet the LAPD wished they had done more planning prior to the Rodney King verdict. It might have spared some neighborhoods and some people a lot of trouble and pain.
And what’s with the judge telling the attorneys to shut up while she questioned Zimmerman? The role of the judge is to ensure that courtroom protocols are followed to the letter, and she violated those protocols. Experts were stunned at what they witnessed. Perhaps the judge should follow the instructions she gave to the jury and abstain from reading about the trial, watching TV about the trial, talking about the trial and abstaining from social media during the trial.
I hope the judge’s action doesn’t impact the outcome, whichever decision is rendered.
And what’s with the news that the DOJ was organizing anti-Zimmerman protests in Sanford earlier this year? The DOJ needs to act more professionally than it has the last couple of years.
And CNN using the term “white Hispanic?” CNN needs to apologize for using racial terms to describe people they don’t like. For CNN to join the race baiters is disgraceful.
