In rat-a-tat fashion, Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson buzzed through a series of pretrial motions on Tuesday, laying the groundwork for what jurors will hear during the second-degree murder trial, expected to be one of the most watched this year.

One of the judge's clearest rulings: Defense attorneys will not get more time to prepare. Jury selection will begin June 10, when 500 potential jurors are scheduled walk through the courthouse doors.

And, in general, she banned defense attorneys from introducing reputation-damaging evidence about Trayvon

In other words those on the jury are to ignore that Trayvon was a thug and pretend they're uniformed voters. :lol:

What's the most common defense for rape perps? It was consensual. That's why they have rape shield laws to prevent red herring defenses.

The Zimmerman legal crew will argue that Trayvon got into fights, smoked weed, got suspended from school, posted inflammatory material on the internet, had a gun, and had sex with girls. These are attributes of people who are rebels. Therefore rebels go and assault people. Since Trayvon was a rebel he assaulted someone. Another clown red herring argument that the judge struck down instantly...

So you feel consensual sex isn't a defense in a rape case?

They all say it was consensual? Then go on and claim the woman was a whore...etc...

Zimmerman said it was self defense. Then go on and claim that Trayvon was an antisocial punk.

The judge wants impartiality. Both for Zimmerman and Trayvon, and both were assholes, let justice be decided by the facts of the case not previous history, for Zimmerman and Trayvon...........

[RealJustme]

Zimmerman said it was self defense. Then go on and claim that Trayvon was an antisocial punk.

That's a lie, Zimmerman said he didn't know Trayvon, the media found out Trayvon was an antisocial punk. What's that got to do with consensual sex?

The whole point of the recent cycle is Zimmerman's defense attorney getting evidence out to the public that he understands will never be presented in court. A clear attempt to bias any potential jury member with irrelevant and false testimony. This opens Zimmerman to an equally scathing attack in the press.

What's wrong with that as long as it's the truth? The fact that he was a thug is public record and supports the defense that he was the type to attack Zimmerman. Any attorney worth his salt will go after that.

Actually, the rulings allow for presentation of TM's drug use, because it will come out at the trial that he had drugs in his system at the time of his death, and that will lead down the path of his being a violent thug.

[johnforbes]

Just yesterday, CNN was running photos of Trayvon puffing pot and flipping the bird to the camera.

So, unless jurors lack all media access, they will already have seen such pics.

Obviously, Trayvon got kicked out of school for stealing. He walked around in a hooded sweatshirt. He was about 6'3".

All of that was previously concealed by the media seeking to portray him as some hero of the Civil Rights Movement.

[BilboBagend]

Actually, the judge moved on 22 motions by defense. They added up to NO you may not present prejudicial evidence without developing a vali9d reason to present evidence. His lawyer already knew that, this the need for the public campaign outside court to develop prejudices not allowed in court. Also, the answer to justupid's bigoted question, the court does not allow bigoted hearsay in court. On either side of the case. Like Zimmerman's violent past and attacks on policemen. Not without proper development of a reason to present. Not simply to develp prejudices.

It's clear that those who wallow in their bigotries and prejudices don't understand.

[RealJustme]

Like Zimmerman's violent past and attacks on policemen. Not without proper development of a reason to present.

Now why would Zimmerman's attorney spread that type of information? You just said it's not allowed. Admit it, the media is driving the train on disclosing the information about the scum bag Zimmerman defended himself against. There's a war going on in Florida between blacks and Hispanics in Florida.

You are aware of the fact that if Zimmerman's attorney can get one hispanic on the jury he can't be found guilty...aren't you?

[Leroy]

It's clear that those who wallow in their bigotries and prejudices don't understand.

Your bigotry has been noted since the start of this.

First you cried that TM was just an innocent, then it was learned that this thug was sent to his fathers (that neighborhood) because his mother could not control his violence/drug/thefts.... You cried that GZ was guilty and had attacked TM, claiming that GZ had no injuries, yet you were proven wrong again. Then you didn't denounce the Black Panthers putting a Dead or alive price on Zimmerman's head....

It's clear you're a racist, a bigot, a hater, part of the reason this country has fallen into a corrupt and slovenly way.

[RealJustme]

I'm not defending Zimmerman because he's a legal Hispanic citizen but because I believe in the right to bear arms and the right to defend yourself. There is no doubt that is exactly what Zimmerman did when Trayvon tried to kill him by smashing his head into concrete for following him. Trayvon saw a short Mexican he knew he could whip so he went for it. For that reason, I've donated to Zimmerman's defense fund and so have thousands of others, thuggery on our streets has to stop, a gun will expedite that process when attacked.

You need to step it up, JustFreedme. Zimmerman's lawyers are trawling for even mo money from patriotic 'Mericans such as you, Leroy, Forbes, Silly and the Dark Jedis (did we ever find out what exactly is a "Dark Jedi?" Until notified otherwise, I will believe it's a junior Sith of some kind).

Please give generously! The future of a free 'Merica depends on it!

God bless Jesus and 'Merica!!!

LOL, liar leroy says I'm a bigot because I did not support his stance that Zimmerman was clearly and definitely innocent.

Rich. ROFLMAO. Coming from one of the boards leading bigots and racists, liar leroy. It is completely delusional of these hate filled bullies.

If the facts are on your side, pound the facts into the table. If the law is on your side, pound the law into the table. If neither the facts nor the law are on your side, pound the table.

Glad you agree Elk, good for you.

I'm not sure that the pothead defense is going to work out for the defendant...

The pothead defendant is dead. The victim is being harassed by our Government as 100,000's of other citizens are for political reasons.
