I don't think it hurts GZ that the judge ruled his previous calls to 911 can be played in court. If I were the defense, I would play every one of them...as well as give detailed reports on crimes committed there and by whom.This thread is for discussing the testimony given during todays proceedings only.
Please try and keep things on topic.
thx
Yeah, let's highlight how Zimmerman profiled a poor black kid getting caught walking in the rain with a bag of Skittles.I don't think it hurts GZ that the judge ruled his previous calls to 911 can be played in court.

Why is everyone so quick to defend TM just because he is black? I mean really, I thought the Civil Rights issues were a thing of the past.....Yeah, let's highlight how Zimmerman profiled a poor black kid getting caught walking in the rain with a bag of Skittles.
The defense will enter the 6th call (that the pros did not want to enter) showing that he called on non-blacks too. Big deal.Yeah, let's highlight how Zimmerman profiled a poor black kid getting caught walking in the rain with a bag of Skittles.
Profiling by a private citizen is not against the law. Nice try.Yeah, let's highlight how Zimmerman profiled a poor black kid getting caught walking in the rain with a bag of Skittles.
I'm not defending him because he's black. I'm defending him because I believe Zimmermen went after him because he's black.Why is everyone so quick to defend TM just because he is black? I mean really, I thought the Civil Rights issues were a thing of the past.....
Not for "suspicious activity" and over the previous 2 years, he didn't.The defense will enter the 6th call (that the pros did not want to enter) showing that he called on non-blacks too. Big deal.
It is against the law if it's deemed negligent or reckless.Profiling by a private citizen is not against the law. Nice try.
He didn't go after anyone. He kept on eye on him presumably until the LEOs arrived. We can't change the race of the suspicious person. The fact that he was black doesn't protect him from being deemed suspicious.I'm not defending him because he's black. I'm defending him because I believe Zimmermen went after him because he's black.
No. It is not. The mere act of "profiling" by a private citizen is not against the law.It is against the law if it's deemed negligent or reckless.
Fair enough, don't think there is evidence to support that, but fair enough.I'm not defending him because he's black. I'm defending him because I believe Zimmermen went after him because he's black.
Yes, for suspicious activity. The 6th call (the one the state does not want to enter) was for suspcious activity and they were not black. You should watch the coverage on clickorlando.com. They have been talkign about it.Not for "suspicious activity" and over the previous 2 years, he didn't.
Could we please keep this thread for todays testimony only Please?Thread was already started for Day 3 testimony.
I ageee Maggie...I don't think it hurts GZ that the judge ruled his previous calls to 911 can be played in court. If I were the defense, I would play every one of them...as well as give detailed reports on crimes committed there and by whom.
He went after him to make sure another "asshole" didn't "get away." And the fact that he was black is why Zimmerman profiled him.He didn't go after anyone. He kept on eye on him presumably until the LEOs arrived. We can't change the race of the suspicious person. The fact that he was black doesn't protect him from being deemed suspicious.
Sorry man... I didn't see it. Maybe the mods will merge them.Thread was already started for Day 3 testimony.
But how tall is TM again? ...Just kidding.This thread is for discussing the testimony given during todays proceedings only.

This isn't about the "mere act" of profiling, but profiling someone he wrongly profiled who turned out not to be there to break into houses, as he wrongly assumed; and who had every right to be there. His irresponsible profiling led to a confrontation and ultimately, a death. If the prosecution can prove doing so was either negligent or reckless, then it's criminal.No. It is not. The mere act of "profiling" by a private citizen is not against the law.
Please keep you comments focused on todays testimony. You can discuss this on any one of the many other threads.This isn't about the "mere act" of profiling, but profiling someone he wrongly profiled who turned out not to be there to break into houses, as he wrongly assumed; and who had every right to be there.

It also helps to show what she claimed during testimony to be accurate. I always foudn this lady a bit nutty (that's just me, though). Not sure how she can tell it was a "younger voice" and how the person with the higher voice (that was also screaming for help) could be anyone but Zimmerman, who had the higher voice... But, Omara will question about that I assume.Playing her 911 call seems to be an attempt to gain sympathy from the jury, because the information doesn't seem helpful in any other way.
