Loaded gun at the victim and firing it is an act of depraved mind of human life. pointing a loaded gun at their direction, at their head, at their heart and pulling the trigger is, in fact, by itself evidence that you have ill will towards 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 do so but hes certainly not saying that at the time he pulls that gun, po...

It was sus stint, forceful, and the first thing that jumped out at me, he said george zimmerman, his first homework assignment was a class in which he says he wants to be in law enforcement, to hunt stuj tiffs so they dont get away. he also said that george zimmerman had the presence of mind in the midst of what he said was a brutal attack it could have ended his life to point a gun, point blank at trayvon martins heart and put a hollow point bullet through it. if richard manti does the argument...

Emanuel burgess, who was this one-person crime spree through retreat view circle who got five years in prison for his bevy of burglaries in that area. you were the sentencing judge in that case when he came before you about a year and a half ago. so, yeah, an unfortunate circumstance. that doesnt allow the outrageously over response by mr. martin. sticking to the ill will and hatred argument, basically in the light case, it was just not ill will because the courts looked to two other cases for t...

Neither is this one. evidence of ill will towards trayvon martin and in particular, mr. omara cast it as usually people who know each other. well, the problem is, this defendant thought he knew -- he thought he knew. he thought he knew trayvon martin as one of these [ bleep ] that get away. he thought he did. [ bleep ] had enough in his heart to stop his trip to the grocery store, if thats in fact where he was going, to follow trayvon martin as he walked through the neighborhood in his car to ge...

One piece of direct evidence as theyve shown to you -- and im presuming that theyve shown you all of their direct evidence already and mr. manti just took an opportunity to present to you all that direct evidence which supports ill will, hatred, spite and they say my client dare to suggest that he was on drugs. it is not properly before this court as to the voracity of my clients understanding as to how mr. martin may have been acting. but you can certainly consider everything that youve heard w...

When you run into somebody and kill them, thats not ill will, spite, and hatred. theres no, in effect, transferred intent from when you act as outrageously negligent as you might act to steal a car and do 80 or 90 miles an hour through a crowded area, running people out of the way and then finally killing somebody, thats not ill will, spite, or hatred. so i mention those for that purpose. another case, state versus ellison -- im sorry. that was one of the two i just mentioned to you, your honor....

Was he justified in doing it to self-defense, wheres the direct evidence that it wasnt? ill will, spite, hatred, where is the direct evidence that it was? there isnt any. then were on to the circumstantial evidence standard and weve talked about that, maybe a touch too long. im glad that mr. manti while mentioning the injuries mentioned that the injuries are not necessary. we all know that. witnesses may or may not know that. it is only mr. zimmermans fear of great bodily injury that allows him ...

Elements of the crime itself of second-degree murder. only then do we move to the issue of whether or not there is sufficient evidence to dispute the defense of justifiable use of deadly force. so the first thing that should be addressed is the elements of the actual crime that the state bears the burden of proving. the intent and state of mind. included in the courts materials -- and i think its probably the last or second to last case is gibbs versus state. its a 2005 opinion from the fourth d...

Support that. it doesnt exist anywhere. what they are doing is grasping for straws in a case that none of the evidence supports ill will, hatred, none of it, and none of it contraindicates a reasonable hypothesis that george zimmerman had to act in self-defense. why did he exaggerate his injuries? is that a reason not to grant judgment of acquittal because george said i thought i got hit 50 times? really? is that the commonsense that were going to leave at our doorstep when we consider what were...

Prove ill will, spite, hatred. they were at a keg party and people were getting drunk. okay. another case i presented to the court, 977 southern 2nd 682, 2008. this is a fight that lasted a couple of minutes. basically, a bar fight where they went back and forth and to the extent of the client -- in that case, velamese responsibility in that regard, even though there was no evidence that the victim of the final stabbing by mr. velamy wasnt even known to have caused his own death, so it was in ef...
