I will save my time of reading his qualifications. I know very well who Alan is. I know him to be the regular placement on the tip of the right wing's boots.
All these years he has been a whipping boy of the far right. He happens to be whistling what you folks like to hear at the moment.
Little does he know, his 16th minute of fame is of limited duration. As the evidence comes into focus, Alan will be tooting a different song. Y'all won't be dancing to that tune so Alan will resume his usual spot.

You can't refute anything Dershowitz said so you do your typical far-right bashing. Amazing how void your thought process is.

Sittin on my veranda watching the coconut trees sway to the soft gentle breeze and the gentle waves crashing on the beach thinking about how nice of a day it will be when Zimmerman walks.

Oh well, time for another margarita...

To those who care (I don't know why), I am doing just fine.
The wind is blowing an enjoyably crisp cool breeze. The sun's face is partially hidden. The birds are chirping, singing, playing. The trees are fanning their beautiful leaves as if dancing to a melodious jazz ensemble.
Ahhhh...and yes, my freshly-squeezed homemade lemonade is a wonderful delight to my taste buds.
If your day is but a small fraction of the delightfully beautiful day I'm having, then your day is wonderfully beautiful.
And, hopefully, your better and brighter days are before you!

Your 'fresh squeezed lemonade?'

You mean you went and took a leak into a tall glass after you slugged a few beers, and now you think it's 'fresh squeezed?' Yeah, fresh squeezed from size-challenged wee wee.

Ahhhh, I try to give you mean-spirited racists some inspiration to pick up your lowly, downtrodden lives and this is the words of thankfulness you care to send my way?

Guess what? I was expecting such a joy-filled vocabulary from you all. I'm surprised that it isn't much worse.

Now, if you knew anything about my freshly-squeezed homemade lemonade, then you'd know that it contains no beer residue, as beer doesn't touch my lips.

Now, now. I know you're down there in the trashy trailer park and beer is your daily savior, but that doesn't mean that everyone drinks it. Also, I understand that the plumbing in your parts don't allow you to always relieve yourself appropriately.

That doesn't apply to the erect humans with opposing thumbs who work. What you need to do is try going to school or get a job so that you can climb out of your downtrodden existence and be able to relieve yourself in appropriate facilities.

Hurry. Run, don't crawl.

Keep on dreaming and thinking.

It's nice to have something to hold into in life. But what about when it's over?

Keep Hope Alive!

Oh YES. I can easily dismiss Alan. Just like you right wingers can when he's not whistling your kinda tune.

Alan knows no more than you or any of the other pals of yours on here. And that brilliant legal mind of his?

Well, even a lamp needs a bulb to work. With half the evidence available, Alan's superb legal training cannot come to ANY rational conclusion.

Let's see how he's whistling for y'all at the sentencing phase of the trial. My guess is that by then Al will throw his hands in the air, turn around and assume his regular spot on the end of your boots.

That Al, he was kinda funny at times. Oh the bygone days. Oh the bygone days. Welcome back, Alan, to the bygone days!

See? It's not hard to dismiss what Al has to say. In fact, it's relatively easy.

Perils of lax Gun Laws??

Vermont, no permit required to carry, lowest violent crime in the country.

Chicago and DC? Strictest gun laws, gun control, etc, highest(or close to it) violent crime in the country.

Dangers of Permissive Carrying Concealed Weapons (CCW) Laws
Shall-issue laws permitting the carrying of concealed firearms (CCW)(where law enforcement has no discretion in issuing a permit or license) do not appear to reduce crime, and no credible statistical evidence exists that such permissive CCW laws reduce crime. There is evidence permissive CCW laws generally will increase crime.59
A National Academy of Sciences report reviewing existing data on the effectiveness of firearm laws, including research purporting to demonstrate that concealed carry (also called “right-to-carry”) laws reduce crime, found that the “evidence to date does not adequately indicate either the sign or the magnitude of a causal link between the passage of right-to-carry laws and crime rates.”60
An analysis of Texas’ CCW law,(a law adopted in 1995 that overturned the state’s 125-year ban on concealed weapons), found that between January 1, 1996 and August 31, 2001, Texas license holders were arrested for 5,314 crimes, including murder, rape, kidnapping and theft.61
From 1996 to 2000, Texas CCW holders were arrested for weapons-related crimes at a rate 81% higher than that of the state’s general population age 21 and older.62
Since the Texas law took effect, more than 400 criminals – including rapists and armed robbers – had been issued CCW permits, and thousands of the 215,000 permit holders have been arrested for criminal behavior or found to be mentally unstable.63 The “largest category of problem licensees involve[d] those who committed crimes after getting their state” permits.64
Florida’s CCW system had, just in the first half of 2006, licensed more than 1,400 individuals who had pleaded guilty or no contest to felonies, 216 individuals with outstanding warrants, 128 people with active domestic violence injunctions against them, and six registered sex offenders.65

Chances are pretty good that the "someone" is no longer on the case and perhaps no longer on the job.
But you would rather talk about someone breaking into YOUR house or how YOU carry a peashooter in your pocket without blowing your own nuts off. Pathetic!
Looks like John has backed off the bullshyt he laid on that Tampa FOX reporter from behind his door eh?
How many times was that crap linked in support of Zimmerman?

Gee, someone. Pretty sure off the case. Great evidence twit.

On carrying I was addressing swampmudd’s idiocy about carrying firearms.

Do you believe everyone who believes Zimmerman acted legally is a racist?

Facts in evidence.

SPD Chief Billy Lee has temporarily stepped down from the best job he's had in his life and won't be returning soon, if ever.

Norm Wolfinger 18th district SA for nearly a quarter century recused himself from this case and announced that he won't be seeking reelection.

And you think those two were reacting to political pressure from Al Sharpton don't you?

LMAO

Those two screwed up big time and the case couldn't continue in any direction with either of them near it.

Corrine Brown is the lady who faced of with Angela Corey in the Duval County courthouse after the Marissa Alexander SYG verdict.
I don't know who the South Florida congresswoman is but she doesn't have a horse in this race.
Your guy Mica's 7th district has been re-gerrymandered and now includes parts of the 24th.
Need a effn map and a program to keep up.

Considering that the Republicans are in control of FLA state government it would be hard for her to gerrymander her district.

[wakeupsmelltheco ffee]

Corrine Brown another one that promotes division between the races. If it doesn't have something to do with blacks she's not interested.

Hey there Christo1, take your "judge it" symbols, the ones that you recieved when you answered my post,(spam, clueless, off topic) and shove them up your ass...

Fact, why did the city of Sanford reject Lee’s resignation?
25 years of service and won’t be seeking another term? Could it be retirement?

Continue suckling the teat of ignorance.

How exactly did they screw up? Be specific.

They rejected Lee's resignation for two reasons, one has to do with compensation and the other with future liability. The City manager made that pretty clear.

Perhaps the SA was planning to retire, perhaps not, he's 63. He's coming off a few other problems too.

I've been too specific already with your troll azz and apparently have you confused.

How did you conclude that I meant she had anything to do with the shape of her district? Did you notice how it encompasses part of JAX then shrinks to about 100 feet wide as it snakes along the river for about twenty miles before it widens out again?
