He has voted to reverse very few cases for new trials on crminal cases since he has been on the 3rd DCA.<br /><br />He might vote to reverse if the trial court does not attach portions of the record after an appeal from denial of a 3.850.<br /><br />But if an ASA commits misconduct in closing argument watch him look the other way.<br /><br />In short, he has diligently worked to distance himself from the days when he was a criminal defense lawyer and assistant public defender.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-1799629749909596152013-07-13T22:14:48.207-04:002013-07-13T22:14:48.207-04:00NOT GUILTYNOT GUILTYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-15610977742822073682013-07-12T14:37:06.269-04:002013-07-12T14:37:06.269-04:00Gotta disagree.

He is very strong and passionate with his words. <br /><br />No yelling but no folksy talk either. Strong powerful inflection of voice. This case is all about the Heart. The heart of a young boy and the heart of a man. And he goes on to discuss what is in the heart of TM and what is in the heart of GZ. <br /><br />Pointing out all of the lies and inconsistencies that were told by GZ. This case is not about STANDING YOUR GROUND it's about STAYING IN YOUR CAR. <br /><br />Your verdict is not going to bring TM BACK, but it will forever define what happened that night. <br /><br /><br />CAP OUT ....<br />captain4jusrice@gmail.com<br /><br />CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-72985074924339627442013-07-12T12:03:32.180-04:002013-07-12T12:03:32.180-04:00Why Does This Captain Idiot Think Anyone Would FOl...Why Does This Captain Idiot Think Anyone Would FOllow Him On ThIs Blog Over Simply Watching The ClosingS Themselves?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-42635763674943842332013-07-12T11:55:38.730-04:002013-07-12T11:55:38.730-04:00Can we give "Shumie" a rest?

Do you have a reasonable doubt because they have to convince you beyond a reasonable doubt that he didn't. And that is the only thing you have to do. And after you answer that obvious question, which is of course he acted in self defense, your job is done. <br /><br />Quite surprised that there was no passion. Very very little undulation in his voice. He was very folksy. That clearly was his intention. <br /><br />O'MARA wraps up his Closing Argument by thanking the jury for their time. . Short break. And one hour of ASA McDreamy John Guy to follow. Not sure whether she will charge and then send them to lunch. Or send them to unch and bring them back and charge. <br /><br />Deliberations should begin by 2:30. <br /><br />Cap Out .....<br /><br />CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-90483938997994958552013-07-12T10:40:38.812-04:002013-07-12T10:40:38.812-04:00Shumie time for the state.

The Reasonable Doubt Thermometer and the Self Defense Thermometer were very effective. And now he is weaving the facts in the case methodically into those doubts. <br /><br />It is such a contrast to BDLR. The ASA used words like maybe, could have been this way, and you figure it out. O'Mara tells them that what they should have been telling you this IS the way it Happened. <br /><br />He also showed the Video Animation that the Judge finally agreed to let him use for Demonstrative purposes. Of course, as fate would have it, the computer animation did not work for a good minute and you could just feel how pissed O'Mara was until he finally got it to work. We have all been there and we have all been told, don't use anything electronics in court for the first time. Make sure you have tried it outside of court a few times so you are confident that it will work for you. <br /><br />CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-33915918167813475322013-07-12T09:56:40.645-04:002013-07-12T09:56:40.645-04:00The Captain Reports;:

Four minutes to leave the area from when Geroge first saw him. To the time of the face to face encounter.

He tells us that despite not having to do so, he will prove Zimmerman's absolute innocence. <br /><br />CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-40427833773454454792013-07-12T09:47:16.702-04:002013-07-12T09:47:16.702-04:00Here you go Rumpole, while not in the REGJB, someo...Here you go Rumpole, while not in the REGJB, someone is using the Third Amendment.<br /><br />Residents in Henderson, Nev., filed a federal lawsuit saying police entered their family's two homes without warrants and without permission in order to gain tactical advantage of a neighboring domestic dispute.<br /><br />http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/3rd_amendment_suit_filed_after_family_says_police_occupied_their_homes/?utm_source=maestro&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=weekly_emailAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-65480224994924032072013-07-11T22:42:35.821-04:002013-07-11T22:42:35.821-04:00We begin with the proposition that a defendant has...We begin with the proposition that a defendant has the ultimate authority to plead guilty/not guilty, waive a jury, testify on his own behalf, and take an appeal. Generally, all other decisions are vested in the professional judgment of counsel and considered matters of strategy. See Florida v. Nixon, 543 U. S. 175, 187 (2004). Therefore, the court has the authority (indeed the obligation) to ensure a defendant is making these decisions in a knowing and voluntary manner. In fact, the Florida Supreme Court in Nixon v. Florida, 758 So. 2d 618, 625 (Fla. 2000) (the portion of the opinion not reversed by the USSC) approved and encouraged trial judges to engage a defendant in a colloquy and make a proper record of the defendant's knowing, intelligent and voluntary decision. Of course, if counsel advises the client not to answer (which is rare given that it is done, at least in part, to protect against a postconviction claim of ineffective assistance) the court may continue advising the defendant on the record that the decision is ultimately his and his alone; that no one (not even his attorney) can make the decision for him; that the court is prepared to answer any questions the defendant may have regarding his right to testify; and that, if the defendant does not wish to ask any questIons, the court will assume the defendant has had sufficient time to discuss this with his attorney and is making this decision knowingly and voluntarily.
