    So someone being on the other end of the text message if verification? Great give the defense the time to research and call those people on the other end ;)... Oh wait the prosecution sat on the text messages making that impossible.. Again.. why.

    At the start did he not claim that "fight" could be code. Yes or no.

    The Defense was clearly misled on the text messages by the Prosecution. The Prosecution had all the info in January, but denied that they did have in response to a direct inquiry by the Defense. The Defense only got it because of a whistleblower. Late.

    The Defense has a right to depose people with whom Trayvon was trading these notes. They were not provided a reasonable amount of time to do this.

    More reversible error. By the State AND the Judge.

    I would think you are right, going to be argued mighty heavily. Their going to say it's just kids talk, hear say, and way too prejudicial. They will say those comments are more for entertainment then real, actually it's a good argument. Kids brag and make up stuff all the time, and it's true.

    But the prosecution opened the door I think and they should have just stuck to the facts instead of trying to convict Z with character assasination.

    In all honesty, I think that the biggest reason they won't let it in is because it is so damaging to the State's case !!! Just as they tried to hide the info all along. Just as it shows that Trayvon was the perfect caricature of a black hoodie thug. Those texts run contrary to the image that the Media and race pimps (Obama included) and all the honorary hoodie wearers tried to snow-job on the rest of us from the get-go. While those of us with even an ounce of common sense said "NO. He's a thug punk".

    Trayvon was a gangsta wannabee all along. Can't have that ! .

    I don't completely disagree. The problem here is that the media did such a thorough job of tainting the jury pool, that the defense knows, despite what these jurors said in Voir Dire, they heard and saw a lot of it. So the fraudulent image of Trayvon as a sweet 12 year old little boy needs to be corrected.

    But that is just it ! The reality of all this communication !! You have always been held to what you put out in public, even if to just one other person. The only difference is the volume of opportunity now.

    And if you get in trouble, here comes the microscope.

    Or just go back to the 5th DCA and have her decisions reversed, again.

    yeah, like saying f'ing punks or these a' holes always get away. It doesn't mean much but could be made a big deal out of under the right circumstances.

    If you had a string of unsolved burglaries in your neighborhood, you wouldn't feel that way toward the perps? There is a LOT of dishonesty in the Trayvon camp!!!

    And the prosecuter should make that argument, but it is highly relevant to who was more likely to have started the fight. Has the state found evidence zimmerman was a violent man? Hard to believe he started the fight, even you have to agree. I think the conversations about buying a gun from diamond is also relevant and maybe she should be recalled if they do in fact exist.

    Dont know him, cant say. However there is no doubt he's a street smart kid, not that there is anything wrong with that,,I was. Point being he was not the angel they described, and obviously capable of true violence. It takes confidence and nuts to attack an older man, he had no problem. Most kids never would have done that given the same circumstance, why attack him?, for what?

    I could be wrong, but I dont think Zimmerman is a violent man at all. I think the gun was more of a ''man of importance thing'' it fit the roll. Look what that instructor said about him,,,soft? Most violent people are not soft, and what they may lack in muscle they carry with plenty of attitude.
    Zimmerman couldn't intimidate a gnat......

    Yup I agree, it's the huge Elephant in the room. It's like...''OK, we know it, but dont you say it'' Those people had to be very upset with what was going on, if not for the things stolen what about the safety of their kids? When a area is targeted like that how can one feel safe?

    Horrible feeling in your own neighborhood....It's got to get you very angry and defensive.
