The black kid hung around too long.

47. I didn't say it was broken. It was busted (up). The photos are in evidence. Nose swollen & bleeding.

You know...your standard busted nose from being punched in the nose.

None of what I listed is speculation. Those are recounts of evidence. (Note: the "locking horns" was a figure of speech. Neither of them really had horns that night.)

If you don't want to know the evidence, that's your business. But I would think if you believe in the legal system, you would want to be familiar with the evidence that the jury is going through. That is exactly what they are going to be reviewing.

There is no evidence that TM was afraid. At least I didn't see or read any. Do you know of any?

I do think it's settled that TM approached GZ and punched him. That's why the prosecutor is making a deal out of TM being "afraid" of GZ...because he is giving a reason for TM confronting GZ...he was afraid, the prosecutor said.

That's the evidence I saw/read. That's why I'm impressed that the jury asked for the list of trial exhibits. It may mean they are going to go through all the bits of evidence and deliberate carefully. There's a lot of evidence. Testimony, videos, taped statements, writings, objects.

Of course, juries can nullify....totally disregard all evidence and render a verdict they think is just, whether or not the evidence calls for it. It happens.
