Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m #Zimmermanon9 's ammunition was less likely to hurt someone else because it was less likely to pass through the body and hit someone else.

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m Root says if you don't have a round in the chamber why carry it? He teaches to fully load. #Zimmermanon9 's gun was loaded but not fully.

Prosecutor Guy up for cross examination. You heard #GeorgeZimmerman say "a**hole," "f***ing punk"? Root: Doesn't necessary mean ill will.

 Jeff WeinerJeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 5m
Root: Hollow point bullets appropriate for self defense. "Less likely to over-penetrate" & exit person. #ZimmermanTrial #GeorgeZimmerman

Root: "Carrying it without a round in the chamber, why carry it?" #ZimmermanTrial #GeorgeZimmerman #TrayvonMartin

 Jeff WeinerJeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 8m
Root: "Having a round in the chamber means you can discharge the firearm immediately." No delay. "Best way" to carry gun. #ZimmermanTrial

 Jeff WeinerJeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 9m
Root: When carrying a concealed weapon, "you have to keep it concealed." Internal holster makes that easier. #ZimmermanTrial

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m The jurors are standing up to see the state give a demonstration of how Martin could have been getting up when he was shot.

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m The state just used a mannequin to show the jury how #Zimmermanon9 said Martin was straddling and where his gun would be.

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m The state is asking now about where #Zimmermanon9 said Martin was straddling him.

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m The defense expert told the state if Martin had lived his vantage point would have been important

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m The state is pointing out things that the defense expert did not ask when he talked to #Zimmermanon9 .

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 55s He said #Zimmermanon9's head could have hit the concrete as a result punches which could have felt like two impacts each.


Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m The state keeps saying they were "rolling" but this witness says there's no evidence of that.

#Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m       Root said there are a lot if things that Rachel Jeantel said that don't line up with the timeline

 
Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 2m Root says he talked to #Zimmermanon9  about the shooting and did not ask whether he was afraid when he got out of his vehicle after he Said Martin had run toward the back entrance of the neighborhood.

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m Root says he hasn't been paid yet by the defense. The state is insinuating he inserted himself in the case for free Publicity for his brand new company

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m He says he is dedicated to the truth but admits to advertising that he's a witness in the #Zimmermanon9 case.

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m The state points out he's on live television and getting free publicity.. He says he could have reached out to the state

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m Root told the state he thought #Zimmermanon9's cursing was frustration not ill will or hatred

What is wrong with this picture? There appears to be a prosecution and judicial conspiracy in an attempt to bring about a guilty verdict. Why? Is it about a PC appeasing the Black community?


Zimmerman judge needs to read this case on authentication of text messages
July 10, 2013 at 7:11am

Judge Nelson stated that there was no evidence that Trayvon typed the texts even though the messages were on his phone and stored in DOUBLE-PASSWORD protected format using phone apps. …

The defense countered that its computer forensic expert, who testified, was able to track hundreds if not thousand of text messages on the phone and that the flow of conversations indicated it was Trayvon in context
