if that nose was broken I will eat my shoe... the court can compel an x-ray, a recent break will show, an older one too.

I think it was Zimmermanns father that claimed it was George's voice not Trayvon Martin's father. notadmblnd Apr 2012 #92

I wonder if this is the first time he has heard of the phone call with the girl Friend. RDANGELO Apr 2012 #2

There is a tape of the phone call with the girlfriend? Common Sense Party Apr 2012 #4

Yes. RDANGELO Apr 2012 #9

How was that tape made? The girlfriend recorded it? With what? Common Sense Party Apr 2012 #13

I do not recall a tape of that conversation ... 1StrongBlackMan Apr 2012 #26

That's my understanding as well. Common Sense Party Apr 2012 #27

What difference does it make? She's gotta testify Solomon Apr 2012 #77

Her testimony may be ruled hearsay. X_Digger Apr 2012 #85

Not if she was party to the conversation WolverineDG Apr 2012 #89

It's not hearsay. The girl is a witness plain and simple. Solomon Apr 2012 #98

Depends on what 'matter' is 'asserted', I suppose. X_Digger Apr 2012 #102

According to her earlier statements, she did not hear the gun shot. Common Sense Party Apr 2012 #119

IIRC, she heard a noise then nothing WolverineDG Apr 2012 #122

You both are correct ... 1StrongBlackMan Apr 2012 #104

no, there is no tape of the call. barbtries Apr 2012 #90

How does that "screw" anyone's "pooch"? That's the prosecution's version Common Sense Party Apr 2012 #3

Zimmerman HAS...No...PROOF. Amerigo Vespucci Apr 2012 #8

You do not know what proof he has or does not have. Common Sense Party Apr 2012 #12

And yet I still find you endlessly amusing. Common Sense Party Apr 2012 #20

disgusting marshall gaines Apr 2012 #23

Amerigo Vespucci is a ZIMMERMAN APOLOGIST?? Really? No, I think you are responding Ecumenist Apr 2012 #30

Look at post #21 though. Kaleva Apr 2012 #32

that one is poppiing gaskets every day. Whisp Apr 2012 #36

It's up to the PA to provide the proof. Not Zimmerman. Kaleva Apr 2012 #14

Post removed Post removed Apr 2012 #21

Sadly, he does not have the burden of proof. joeglow3 Apr 2012 #22

sadly? ProdigalJunkMail Apr 2012 #114

Well ... 1StrongBlackMan Apr 2012 #28

There lies the "rub" so to speak :) jaysunb Apr 2012 #35

Thanks guys! arthritisR_US Apr 2012 #10

No bail brush Apr 2012 #43

Well ... 1StrongBlackMan Apr 2012 #11

True, and here's the part Zimmerman can't prove: Amerigo Vespucci Apr 2012 #15

You don't understand how a legal court works, do you? joeglow3 Apr 2012 #25

That is incorrect in this case. Vattel Apr 2012 #50

I disagree ... 1StrongBlackMan Apr 2012 #76

Well, I don't read the law that way, and I have read that it hasn't really been tested yet in court. Vattel Apr 2012 #82

Not trying to be flip; but ... 1StrongBlackMan Apr 2012 #106

I believe that is incorrect. Nothing in the SYG law suggests that. Vattel Apr 2012 #117

Unfortunately, secondvariety Apr 2012 #87

I agree this ... 1StrongBlackMan Apr 2012 #107

If Zimmerman's defense is based on the SYG law as expected, he'll have to testify pacalo Apr 2012 #108

Read the response to your post below Amerigo Vespucci Apr 2012 #70

No, the state has to prove its version WolverineDG Apr 2012 #86

If Zimmerman can convince a judge he was in fear for his life, the case may be dismissed. Kaleva Apr 2012 #38

Yes, but this is why the affidavit reads the way it reads nadinbrzezinski Apr 2012 #40

It wasn't dismissed Blue_Roses Apr 2012 #93

He initiated the fight, ergo SYG does not apply. nt geek tragedy Apr 2012 #110

I agree. The affidavit describes someone bent on a confrontation EFerrari Apr 2012 #39

The big thing for me today was safeinOhio Apr 2012 #49

But in the 911, doesn't Zimmerman say, "he's coming toward me?" wiggle-room Apr 2012 #53

Thats because Zimmerman was parked on the street Trayvon was walking on Quixote1818 Apr 2012 #71

So true. n/t janx Apr 2012 #120

I think one more judge has to hear Corey's facts Quixote1818 Apr 2012 #72
