What are we to make of this? this man flight fighting for his life, yes or no? enough reasonable doubt, you dont see the jury coming back with anything but a not guilty verdict. >> and prosecution put forward a second-degree murder charge. you have to show implied malice and george zimmerman had ill will and hatred. >> you are saying it right here, the facts dont play out. people may want this to be a guilty verdict. you cannot put facts that arent there. we dont know. one mother testified she h...

>> trayvon benjamin martin. >> you know whose voice that was screaming in the background? >> yes, sir. >> whose voice was that? >> my son, george. >> are you certain of that? >> because hes my son. >> what was the manner of death, sir? >> the manner of death is home. he was killed by another person. he was still alive, and he was killed. he was suffering. >> objection. not a relevant issue. >> just a second. your objection is relevance? overruled. >> theres only one reason to squeeze the trigger...

Upset and somebody, pick him up over your head and smash him on to cement, is not ill will or hatred. and would not sustain a second-degree murder conviction. because you cant infer any malice. i dont exactly know how you cant infer malice from picking somebody up over their head and smashing them on to cement. but if we are to compare that law, which is now the law in florida, to this case, i would suggest that there is absolutely no evidence to support the contention that mr. zimmerman acted i...

Imminently dangerous to another, pointing a loaded weapon at their direction, at their head, at their heart and pulling the trigger is in fact by itself evidence that you have ill will toward your target. theres really no question of that. shooting someone in the heart is by itself on its face evidence of ill will. now, the defendant raises a defense saying i was justified in doing so, but hes certainly not saying that at the time he pulse that gun, points it at trayvon martins heart, squeezes t...

To look at whether or not this case should still move forward on a second degree murder charge as to the issue of ill will and hatred. so lets talk for a moment about what ill will and hatred is and what its not. in white versus state, 841 72nd 623, second dca case, that was a mosh pit case. mr. light didnt like the fact that the eventual victim fell back into and may have hit him in a sensitive area of his body. so mr. light decided to pick him up in a wrestler move, hang him over his head and ...

Thats my percentage, not the case laws, but in the overwhelming majority, it only occurs where that ill will, spite and hatred has been something that has grown over time. the husband and the wife with the affair. the neighbors fighting over the fence. things like that. so that we can presume that theres ill will, spite and hatred by previous acts against the two. and it cannot be presumed. it has to be by direct evidence that there was this previous animosity that would suggest the growth or th...

Offhand way he said if you get rid of second degree, dont get rid of manslaughter. but where is the states case, looking at all of the evidence, not just that which they want to focus you on, but all of the evidence, how they get to ill will, spite, and hatred? that he made up stories? well, you have an opportunity to review the evidence, you sat here like all of us did and decide whether that stories are made up. and whether serino stated, they were insignificant changes, as a matter of fact, t...

Such an important day. >> vinnie making the point you cant be arguing self-defense if trayvon martin is screaming for help. what do you say. >> i have to respectfully disagree with the great vinnie politan and heres why. if he disbelieve the self-defense and if you believe thats trayvon martins voice it doesnt conclusionishly establish or disprove self-defense in and of itself. i cant think of what element of the prosecutions burden that specifically goes to. even if the jurors disbelieve self-d...

Have been used as some, well, i would argue with it. but i guess the court could look at it and say the words that he used might evidence -- they may be direct evidence of ill will and hatred. i will suggest that maybe the way other people have said it or screened it in the courtroom, the evidence thats before the court and before the jury, the way my client used it, can certainly the entire context of the way he used it in the conversation on the nonemergency call does not suggest anywhere near...

Took an opportunity to present to you all of that direct evidence which presents ill will, hatred, spite, they have my client dare to suggest that he was on drugs. it is not properly before this court as to the veracity of my clients understanding of how mr. martin may have been acting. but you can certainly consider everything that youve heard with the way he said he was acting. so thats the second piece of direct evidence that my client thought he was on drugs. then he said he wouldnt have don...
