Florida boy killed by Neighborhood Watch (3 Viewers)

[The Commish]

The Zimmerman Joke was completely botched.. I can't believe he even attempted that.. Not only was it inappropriate, it was poorly delivered.. Wow..

I disagree. It accomplished exactly what he wanted.

Guy set the tone.

West lightened the mood (at his expense) but got a good reaction (laughter).

Again....I recommend you DVR this. Your bias isn't allowing you to see reality. The court room was quiet. The guy even followed it up with a "wow, nothing? That was funny" type of line, still.....nothing. I don't have a dog in this fight. Perhaps you should take that position as well.

There was laughter after this line http://www.mediaite.com/tv/george-zimmerman-defense-follows-wrenching-prosecution-opening-with-knock-knock-joke/ 3.54 mark

I concede the chuckle. Doesn't change anything. Can we move on?

Don West followed with opening statements on behalf of Zimmerman, offering a knock-knock joke that fell flat before the stone-faced jurors.

"Who's there?" West said. "George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman who? Okay, good. You're on the jury."

Prior to the failed attempt at humor, West told a somber version of events, one that portrayed his client as a victim who acted to save his own life.

Nothing you posted contradicted what I said.

The jury did not find this funny according to all sources. And West apologized to them when the court resumed after the noon recess. If you have a link to the contrary, that the jury was laughing, please provide it.

Second time you have been clueless.

There was laughter at West's expense. It accomplished exactly what he wanted, to lighten the mood. Laughter lightens the mood whether you are willing to admit it or not.

Nothing says laughter like an uncomfortable chuckle by a few. If you think he accomplished his goal and it wasn't in poor taste to be telling jokes in a murder case, have at it big boy. Hope that works for you

I'd probably be fixated on my misspeak about the chuckle on the follow up as well if I were you. Your guy's lawyer isn't doing him any favors. If you want to play "gotcha" with me that I misspoke on the follow up, fine. Doesn't change the fact that the joke itself was met with silence, was in poor taste and is all anyone's talking about (just turned on the TV). This lawyer has allowed the press to focus on HIM instead of the case thus far.

If that chuckle was "something" to you when I said it was "nothing" to me, that's a matter of opinion. I didn't consider it laughter and there was certainly ZERO response to the actual joke. Two mistakes were made here. 1) The guy telling jokes at a murder trial and 2) me not considering that lethargic chuckle actual laughter. That's what you have to hold on to and fixate on for the time being.

Your link shows zero reaction to the joke and a lethargic chuckle at the "wow, nothing?" comment....the media actually has this one right. The joke fell flat and was in terrible taste. That they gave him the chuckle on follow up seems like a dubious distinction at best.

If you look back, I agreed with you on the inappropriateness of the joke..

But you were completely wrong in saying the lawyer failed to get a laugh out of anyone.. His intent was to lighten the mode in the room. Any degree of mode change is good.. Regardless of how stupid the joke was, or how inappropriate it was to tell the joke.. You were wrong about the response to his attempt.. There was a small amount of levity brought on by his attempt.. And there was laughter.. About as much laughter as you could expect considering the situation..

No, I'm wrong, because if they weren't on the floor slapping their thighs, gasping for air, they weren't laughing..

And there was laughter.. About as much laughter as you could expect considering the situation..

COMPLETELY

The guy attempted to get a laugh, you said no one laughed, the footage shows there was laughter, you were wrong.. Now you argue about which words brought on the laughter.. It doesn't matter.. He wanted a few laughs and got some.. I don't think it was worth the attempt he made, and I think it was inappropriate, but you were still wrong..

You're completely right...they were rolling in the isles. Clearly our definitions of laughter are very different and clearly my definition is wrong.

No, I'm wrong, because if they weren't on the floor slapping their thighs, gasping for air, they weren't laughing..

Everyone knows that in order to laugh you have to laugh uncontrollably, or it's not considered laughing..

You should probably find something in the middle. Life's easier that way. For me, I generally consider it laughter if it can overcome a cricket in the room. If you can still hear the cricket, not laughter. If you can't hear the cricket any longer, laughter...pretty simple.

Holy crap

the stupid in this thread just went to defcon 1.

If this is what I get on the first day of trial in this thread then its going to be a great thing to watch.

No worries, George. You've heard this all before, you can take a snooze if you want. They'll wake you when it's time to go home for the day.

I concede the chuckle. Doesn't change anything. Can we move on?

You could certainly move on.. You could have moved on before arguing the point and having to be linked the footage..

If that chuckle was "something" to you when I said it was "nothing" to me, that's a matter of opinion. I didn't consider it laughter and there was certainly ZERO response to the actual joke. Two mistakes were made here. 1) The guy telling jokes at a murder trial and 2) me not considering that lethargic chuckle actual laughter. That's what you have to hold on to and fixate on for the time being.

If you look back, I agreed with you on the inappropriateness of the joke..

But you were completely wrong in saying the lawyer failed to get a laugh out of anyone.. His intent was to lighten the mode in the room. Any degree of mode change is good.. Regardless of how stupid the joke was, or how inappropriate it was to tell the joke.. You were wrong about the response to his attempt.. There was a small amount of levity brought on by his attempt.. And there was laughter.. About as much laughter as you could expect considering the situation..

I didn't hear any crickets

I still don't think you heard the footage.. There was obvious laughter.. Yes, crickets at the end of the joke, and then laughter after his follow up comment.. If his intent was to get laughter at some point, he got it.. I never once thought while listening to the footage 3 times that his intent was to prove himself an accommodating comedian..

preach it Hustler, dont let them keep you down

Sounds like Crump just got kicked out of the courtroom.. And they're about to conduct a hearing to see if Martin's parents will be asked to leave as well.

Judge is getting pretty snippy, and it seems Zimmerman's lawyer is losing that argument..

Maybe that was it... I don't know.. But there was laughter..

Sounds like the defense is looking for an estimated time of how long it would have taken Trayvon to reach his house.. He asked the brother how far, how long it would take, and if he could throw a baseball/football that distance..

O'Mara makes the point, Dispatched told Zimmerman twice, "Let me know if he does anything else."
O'Mara is trying to make the point that Zimmerman was just following the request by dispatch to keep an eye on him

Additionally while listening to the call Zimmerman says:
"these *******s always get away"
O'Mara: "Any cause of concern with him making that statement?"
Dispatch: "He sounds calm to me."
