Day #3 Zimmerman Trial – Open Discussion Thread

george-zimmerman-waiver-1-043013tray - Newest

Today, June 12th is DAY #3 of the scheduled State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. Continuing jury selection.  The “Frye Hearing” is expected to continue at the conclusion of the jury selection.  One of the Defense experts, Dr. James Wayman, was unable to complete testimony on Saturday 6/8/13. His testimony is anticipated to refute state expert Tom Owen.

There is some really good statistical probability discussion in the prior day’s threads as both DiwataMan and John Galt continue to monitor the race and ethnicity of the jury pool.  Given the nature of the Seminole County population at large, the absence of Hispanic potential jurists, and the high number of Black potential jurists, is quite an odd statistical anomaly.    A few members of the media have also taken note of this.  What’s factually causing the skew is unknown – But one thing is certain, it is statistically impossible for the current make-up of the “potential jurists” to be random;  Meaning something, or some process, is skewing the ethnic and racial make-up of the public who received jury duty notifications.  We’ll continue to monitor this aspect – it is very intriguing.

george-zimmerman-waiver-1-043013tray - Newest

Today, June 11th is DAY #2 of the scheduled State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. Continuing jury selection.    Does anyone know what the status on the Frye Hearing is?

One of the Defense experts, Dr. James Wayman, was unable to complete testimony on Saturday. His testimony is anticipated to refute state expert Tom Owen.

Mark O’Mara told the media at the conclusion of the Saturday hearing he planned to request a continuance.  It appears he tried – but as expected it was denied.  However, he did say he was prepared either way.

Zimmerman Stuff – Notes and Such

omara-no-justice-no-peace-CopyNever before have I known of an official “State Sponsored” kick-off to a trial.   NEVER.

Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton standing “inside a courtroom” delivering officially state sanctioned remarks.  I say State Sanctioned because it was allowed to take place in a courtroom, staged for the media and public.

Gee do you think the delicate sensibilities of the Professional Black Grievance Industry are being pandered to?   PC running amok is an understatement toward various orders of magnitude.

Day #1 Zimmerman Trial – Open Discussion Thread

george-zimmerman-waiver-1-043013tray - Newest

Today, June 10th is DAY #1 of the scheduled State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.  Which was scheduled for jury selection.  However…..

We are not quite sure which events will flow first: jury selection, or, the remainder of the Frye hearing audio witness analysis.    Over the weekend the hearing arguments by both the defense and the Prosecution teams for their “audio experts” continued.  However, one of the Defense experts, Dr. James Wayman,  was unable to complete testimony on Saturday.  His testimony is anticipated to refute state expert Tom Owen.

Mark O’Mara told the media at the conclusion of the Saturday hearing he planned to request a continuance but, if not granted, was prepared either way.

Wayman VS Owen – Voice Identification Experts Set to Square Off Monday…

In April of 2012 The Daily Caller Author, Chuck Rudd, interviewed Dr. James L Wayman who is scheduled to deliver expert testimony with regard to voice analytics and biometrics, on behalf of the Zimmerman defense team, tomorrow (Monday).

The prosecution expert, Tom Owen, was paid last year by the Orlando Sentinel to deliver his opinion regarding the 911 tapes and the voices for help. In his prior column Rudd Shared:

[Excerpt …] Dr. James Wayman, a San Jose State University expert in the field of speech science, told The Daily Caller that he questions the grounds on which Owen based his analysis.

Wayman also said he would be willing to testify against the admissibility of Owen’s findings on the grounds that they don’t meet the criteria required for evidence in federal courts. (more…)

June 8th Zimmerman Hearing – 9am Discussion Thread

george-zimmerman-waiver-1-043013tray - Newest

Today, June 8th, (yes, on a Saturday) the Defense and Prosecution will be back in court to discuss the various motions, still unattended, filed by both the Defense and the Prosecution.  Yesterday the hearing was hours of presentation by the Prosecution team for their “audio experts”, the media trying to hide their laughter, and the questioning by the Defense team….  “can you hear me now”….  witness testimony around the 911 audio.

Today, Saturday, the prosecution will continue their audio peeps – Then the Defense will drop the hammer with their EXPERTS.   The defense experts are actually that, experts:
