Thread Name: BS: George Zimmerman defense-' Evidence withheld'
Subject: RE: BS: Zimmerman defense-' Evidence withheld'
Bobert:

"The judge is already screwing around with the prosecution's case..."

"Seems as if the judge has yet another opportunity to stick it to Martin and the prosecution today as police tapes of Zimmerman made prior to the murder indicating Zimmerman's focus on black males being in the neighborhood may not be admissible???


Real world:

"Also Wednesday, Judge Debra Nelson ruled that she would allow at trial five police dispatch calls Zimmerman made in the months prior to his encounter with Martin.
Prosecutors want to use the calls to bolster their argument that Zimmerman was increasingly frustrated with repeated burglaries and had reached a breaking point the night he shot the unarmed teenager. Prosecutors played the calls for the judge Tuesday with the jurors out of the courtroom.
The recordings show Zimmerman's "ill will," prosecutor Richard Mantei said.
"It shows the context in which the defendant sought out his encounter with Trayvon Martin," he said."




Of course, Real World facts have no bearing on this case- after all, in the Real World, with a fair trial Zimmerman might not be convicted.
