Draggingtree Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Legal Insurrection: Zimmerman Trial: State Experts’ Audio Findings Not Admissible Posted by Andrew Branca Saturday, June 22, 2013 at 11:40am Prosecution’s “Experts” cannot testify that screaming voice on 911 tape was not George Zimmerman Judge Debra Nelson today ruled that the testimony of Mr. Tom Owens and Dr. Alan Reich, the prosecution’s experts in the field of speech recognition and speaker identification, will not be admissible at trial because they have failed to meet the requirements ofFrye. The Frye standard requires that an expert’s methodology be generally accepted, and not new or novel, within relevant scientific community. The ruling cannot have come as a great surprise to anyone who heard the testimony first-hand, or was able to obtain objective reporting of that testimony. Much of the ruling is a review of the testimony of the various experts. This testimony has been covered in much greater detail in the numerous Legal Insurrection posts linked below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Zimmerman prosecutors can use terms `profiling' and `vigilante,' judge rules By DAVID OVALLE | The Miami Herald SANFORD, Fla. — The terms "profiling," "wannabe cop" and "vigilante" will be permitted in opening statements Monday by prosecutors in the George Zimmerman trial, a judge ruled Friday. Seminole Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson, however, warned prosecutors to stay away from the more specific term "racial profiling." Defense lawyers had asked that the prosecution be prohibited from using the terms because they were "inflammatory." But the judge said prosecutors can describe what they believe the evidence will show. "We don't intend to say he was solely profiled because of race," prosecutor John Guy agreed, pointing out people can be profiled because of age or attire http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/06/21/194605/zimmerman-prosecutors-can-use.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTexan Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I'm afraid that the evidence will not make a wit of difference in the outcome of this trial. The racial predisposition of the jury will be the soul factor deciding the outcome. Very sad but that's what my corns are telling me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We (informed persons) need to set that aside when sitting on a jury otherwise only those people who no nothing about a case can sit on the jury.
