*In a stunning twist, George Zimmerman, accused murderer of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, waived his right to the ‘Stand Your Ground’ law.
The event caused so much debate around the world, leading to more discussion about the controversial law.
Zimmerman was scheduled to sit through a hearing on April 22, which may change the way prosecutors approach the trial on June 10.
For over a year, Trayvon supporters and family members have awaited a trial date. The court denied any further delay to proceed.
This latest move comes after a string of setbacks for Zimmerman, when Florida judge Debra Nelson not only denied a trial delay but also ordered that the defendant must remain under 24-hour GPS monitoring while awaiting the proceedings, reports the Huffington Post.
Nelson was appointed to the case after the former Judge Kenneth Lester was asked to step down. Zimmerman’s lawyers were also denied permission to question a young woman who is presumed to be the last known person to speak with Martin the night of the fatal encounter.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Zimmerman’s lawyers are investigating the young woman, who is known as Witness 8. Defense lawyer Don West said the witness “misrepresented” in a sworn statement that she missed Martin’s funeral because she was hospitalized, however, prosecutors confirmed there were no medical records.
POS waives his right because SYG law doesn’t apply and isn’t working for him. I hate he wasn’t charged with capital murder.
WETHE PEOPLE, must stand behind the MARTIN FAMILY, this is florida PPL where JIM CROWS laws are still on the BOOKS targeted to make brown PPL look guilty no matter what and the tea party supporters are in favor to go against brown PPL no matter what…those in support of Zimmerman.
Zimmerman is the REAL thug in this issue, with 3 domestic arrest records and now charged with 2nd degree murder of a unarmed CHILD/teenager as noted by LAW.
These RACE-based hate monsters are out to get your Afri-americans MALE SONS.. PLS get behind the MArtin family, Trayvon was not suspicious or doing anything suspicious.. Zimmerman LIEd to the POLICE with speculation and conjecture upon Trayvon to get the PD out to the gated community..then lied to the PD when he said he would meet then at the front gate.. instead tried to detain Trayvon for the PD..as result being in pursuit and followed Trayvon into provocation..basically bullied him… and Witness # 8 is in part witness to this EVIDENCE via Trayvon’s cell phone conversation with Witness #8.. and if the STATE do their homework, witness #8 can PROVE Trayvon was afraid and knew that Zimmerman was following him and Zimmerman acosted Trayvon and Trayvon NEVER doubled back as stated by Zimmerman is the one with the domestic violence arrest RECORDS(3).. Zimmerman is the one with the THUG mentality and LIAR.. he pursued and tried to detained Trayvon when HE HAD NO reason what so ever to speculate, assumed and create conjecture to the PD .. which in my IMPO demonstrates.. a paranoid race based profiler.. with a GUN and with 3 domestic violence arrest records and so how was he able to obtain a weapon’s permit?
George Zimmerman is a coward, a wanna be cop and vigilante who was out to get a black male and any black male would have done and unfortunately the black male was Trayvon MArtin, who was MURDEREd at the hands of a COWARD, obese fearful Punk with 3 domestic violence arrest records.
He didn’t waive his right to immunity. He waived the hearing. There is a difference. The defense can still us Stand Your Ground law in the trial. When the jury rules “not guility”, he will automatically get immunity. And the Martins, who are using their son as only a racketeer can, will be in debt to Ms. Jackson and Mr. Crump. I suspect that Crump and BDLR will be under investigation by the Florida State Bar for withholding evidence and obstruction of justice, since both knew Dee-Dee was an adult and never went to the hospital or saw a doctor as liar Crump claimed in his ABC interview.
