Ruling Gives Prosecution a Boost in Zimmerman Trial

Judge Debra Nelson ruled that prosecutors could present Zimmerman's school records as evidence in their case.

The prosecutors want to convince the jury that Zimmerman's studies in law and police work educated him on Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law. They're expected to argue that his knowledge of that law led Zimmerman to decide to pursue Trayvon Martin after police instructed him not to.

The defense is expected to ask the judge to allow them to introduce Trayvon Martin's school records as evidence in their case.

And if the judge denies the defense's request?

When did knowing the law become a criminal act?

I could be wrong but I think everyone in Fla knows about the Stand Your Ground Law...not that they necessarily know the details on exactly how the law applies. Zimmerman may not have known the details of how the law is applied.

In the kingdom of lies, even knowledge of the truth is a crime. :banghead:

Having been on a couple of juries, that kind of "evidence" is usually inadmissible, at least in California.

I have been watching the trial (as much as Fox puts on) and it is clear the judge is allowing the prosecution a lot of leeway while denying the defense ANY leeway.
