walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[BlueTiki]

I think that Judge Nelson's ruling on whether or not to allow the prosecution to present George's studies in Criminal Justice is an important one for the prosecution.

The prosecution wants to introduce into evidence the fact that George took a Stand Your Ground class and put the professor on the stand.

The defense objects again on the grounds of relevance.

It's an excellent strategy.

I'd hope that the class emphasized the options for retreat and de-escalation.

If the professor can verify this (and Zim didn't cut class during this segment of the course), tubbie should be held to a higher standard than an "average" citizen.

In other words: He should know better!

Flip side: If Skittles is deemed (by action or "vibe") to be an aggressor, it might go well for the defense.

Good for the Judge.
