GZ case. The gap between legal experts and internet non-experts continues [View all]

When you're on certain internet forums discussing the George Zimmerman case, you get the impression that everything is rosey for the prosecution: Rachel Jeantel is cute instead of a mumbling liar, barely anyone speaks about bad news for the prosecution, etc.

Now let's see what legal analysts in the Orlando area are saying about the latest developments in the case, according to the Orlando Sentinel in its article yesterday which begins like this:'

SENTINEL: The George Zimmerman trial Friday prompted TV's legal analysts to think back to the Casey Anthony case. The comparison was highly unfavorable to the prosecution.

Channel 2 analyst Jeff Dean: "he problem was the state didn't have any evidence, and it was starting to show."
***

WKMG-Channel 6 legal analyst Luis Calderon: "the state's witnesses were almost testifying for Zimmerman."

***

Vanessa Braeley, a legal analyst for Central Florida News 13 "Good a good witness for the defense because he was clear and steadfast with his answers." (Good is the last name of one of the witnesses).

***

WKMG's Eric Dubois: Gave Good a B for helping the defense and an F for helping the prosecution.

***

WOFL's Ferwerda summed up: "It's been a great day for the defense on the state's case. It's unusual. It's bizarre."
