Default What a joke

I am hooked on watching the Zimmerman trial. I have it streaming on

my computer, so it isn't interrupted by TV commercials and am also

monitoring the video on the left leaning MSNBC which occasionally

breaks for commercials and the viewer misses much of the testimony by

witnesses.



The State called a doctor who is the chief medical examiner for the

area that the Zimmerman event took place. She examined the photos of

his head injuries, along with the report of the PA at the medical

clinic who treated him. She testified that Zimmerman's injuries were

"very minor" (repeating it at every opportunity) and, in her

opinion, resulted from one blow to the nose and one, maybe two head

bangings on the concrete walkway. This conflicts with Zimmerman's

account of the incident.



She went out of her way to minimize the injuries and insisted they

were the result of minimal blows with not much force.



During this lengthy direct examination by the State, MSNBC didn't

interrupt a single time for a commercial.



Then came the cross examination by the defense. The defense attorney

started picking her testimony apart questioning why she was so sure

the injuries were from so few blows. She became hostile occasionally

and the attorney made good use of her frustration with him. She

finally had to admit that it was indeed "possible" that Zimmerman had

been hit not just once or twice, but multiple times. She did so with

a hostile attitude.



MSNBC had at least two lengthy station breaks during this cross

examination. The viewers missed a good portion of the cross

examination. Could that just be coincidence?



So now the court is in a 15 minute break. The MSNBC crew are all

excitedly discussing this "conflicting expert testimony" and about

how the doc said Zimmerman only got hit a couple of times.



You gotta be kidding me.


Seems like the whole country is lined up on one side or the other.
It's starting to resemble this newsgroup...or at least it will when the verdict is handed in.
