In reply to the discussion: Medical Examiner says he has proof Trayvon was not the aggressor, told to shut up about it [View all]PorridgeGun
(80 posts)The most likely is that the prosecutor not asking Bao specifically about this "proof" is far from inexplicable. The most likely cause is that the prosecutors believed the statement he was going to make would, like so many of their other witnesses, end up making the prosecution look even more shambolic that it did already.
Prosecutors who have an expert witness who wants to give an opinion not directly supported by strong forensic evidence have to think about what might happen to that witness and the credibility of the rest of their case while under hostile cross-examination.
And as for the "top to bottom conspiracy" aspect of your post... el oh el. If you recall, the only reason Zimmerman was charged with 2nd degree murder (as the anti-Z nuts were shrieking for at the time) was that the top prosecutor, noted for being harsh and politically opportunistic, decided to ride the public outrage.
Sorry, but when people are conspiring to let someone walk they don't override the decisions of local investigators to not charge, (or at best with manslaughter) and change them with 2nd degree murder. They also don't try to let people walk by arguing at the end of the trial manslaughter should be put back on the table because even they had come to realise that the 2nd degree murder case existed (and continues to exist) only the imaginations of anti-Z fanatics.
You still can't accept that Z was acquitted unanimously because he was not guilty of anything other than trying to see where the kid was going when he ran off behind a housing block -- an action which, I might add, is not stalking by any remotely sane definition of the term -- and then being confronted by an understandably upset Trayvon as he arrived back at his car.
As soon as TM is on top and Z is on the ground getting punched up, its game over, shooting justified, even without taking SYG into account.
