The answer to your question, YY can be found in my 7:16PM post last night... The judge should have put both the defense and prosecutor under a gag order... He obviously didn't and Zimmerman's attorney took advantage of it...

This is where my problem is with the way this case is being conducted... That is irresponsible on the judge's part... Heck, once the trial begins I don't give a rat's ass what evidence people try to introduce as if the judge say's "Hey, this ain't evidence" then the jury may not hear any of it or very little of it before the judge tells them to "disregard"...

But what is happening is that the initial phase of the trial has begun in public and in a case of this stature there is no way in hell that the jury pool isn't being poisoned...

That is wrong... It is immoral... It is not fair to Trevon Martin or his family... I mean, they don't get to appeal if Zimmerman's attorney pulls a Johnny Cochran and get's this guy off by some very unethical trickery...

So I hold the judge at fault right now... He needs to assert Travon's Martin's rights, too... And he isn't doing that...

Like I said earlier... If you get some judge who has pretty much made up his or her mind they might let something slide... You have to remember that in the South lots of judges are elected and, where you might not like it, have partisan views of things...
