Tim, your attributes are off. Harry didn't say that. I did.

That's one thing about Google Groups and you and Harry using the same fake email address. Sometimes it can't distinguish who is who.

According to Google Groups Iresoponded to F.O.A.D.

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.

This trial has gotten SO political and it's a damned shame. No matter
what the outcome, there is going to be a large percentage of people who
aren't happy with it.

Similar but different from the O.J. Simpson trial. That one had
external forces applying influence but it wasn't necessarily racial or
political.

I'm not really sure WHAT that was!

OJ's lawyers totally overwhelmed the state's prosecutors, and the facts
that the defense was able to show that some evidence was mishandled,
that at least one of the cops intimately involved in the case was an
avowed racist and engaged in shenanigans with some of the evidence and
then "took the fifth" about it, and a number of other factors resulted
in a not guilty verdict.

If Zimmerman walks, it won't be because he stalked a young man,
instigated a fight and, when it wasn't going his way, whipped out his
pistol and shot and killed the young man. It'll be because the trial
took place in a gun-happy state.

Let's just hope that the end result doesn't deteriorate into a Rodney King type situation.

Are you referring to the four cops who beat the crap out of King being
found not guilty of doing same or the riots that resulted from the
miscarriage of justice?

I was thinking of the possibility of unrest if Zimmerman walks.
