Butler!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 09:07 PM) And they start the 2nd on a 13-4 run. It really is becoming clockwork. Can't wait until the Heat make their run to close the gap in the 4th. I f***ing hate that this post was guaranteed to come true.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 10:34 PM) So is there not a "grand jury" type of system that would review the evidence before charging a guy for murder? Or am I completely thinking something else? The special prosecutor could have taken the case to a grand jury but chose not to.

Yeah, you could see the Heat taking over this game 2 minutes ago. Just like every other Bulls Heat game.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 10:29 PM) I believe the Heat was up by double digits early in the fourth and Rose was leading a comeback for the Bulls. The Heat couldn't stop Rose's penetration virtually the entire game, He actually took 13 shots at the rim, even when Lebron was guarding him, he was still able to get to the rim, just didn't finish some of the shots. There is no reason why Rose won't go at Lebron if he is healthy in the playoffs. Had he not brick the two free throws or missed the easy look at the end of the game, we would have won. But then the last 4-5 minutes, they put Lebron on Rose and that was the last time he scored.

Hot. Sauce.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 10:11 PM) I am sorry, but did you watch the first Bulls Heat game this season? Didn't the Heat win that game? With a big run late when Lebron started guarding Rose?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 10:09 PM) Wow Miami is turning it up. (edit) And by that I mean getting super physical. It's beaten theBulls before.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 09:23 PM) No media pressure is the reason charges were brought. Had the media not gotten involved the original prosecutor had already decided to pass and Im not sure the state of Florida is going to appoint a special prosecutor for something no one cares about. Media pressure is why the investigation was resumed. Putting him on trial with a weak case tht is thrown out in the self-defense hearing would inflame the public reaction more than spelling out that she has no case.

First time in 276 games where Rose has been held scoreless in the first half.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 09:18 PM) Because its a grey area...it could go either way...the pressure from the media was enough to sway them to charge them? And media pressure is an awful, awful reason to bring charges

Then why bring charges now, if things are that complex and there are still so many moving parts? A competent professional doing her job would not inflame the situation further if she did not have a particularly solid case.

Mike Trout may have an opinion on the next few years there too.

And they start the 2nd on a 13-4 run. It really is becoming clockwork. Can't wait until the Heat make their run to close the gap in the 4th.

If they win 2 WS in the first 5 years, they won't care. Their payroll will grow with time, he can dh, and it's not like they didn't have bad contracts when they signed Pujols anyway.

That's what the SYG statute says. You know that, you quoted it yesterday. The prosecution needs to be able to affirmatively prove the self defense claim is false before bringig charges.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 08:52 PM) Or maybe the facts and evidence are on the fence... If that's the case, then the special prosecutor brought charges in defiance of Florida law.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 08:46 PM) Or maybe it's a bit more complex than that... Really, no it isn't. If this case is being brought because of politics, and not because they can prove their case, fire her. If the previous prosecutor shut down this case before the investigation was over, for whatever reason, same deal.

Another pathetic opening.

Castro hit up early.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 07:07 PM) not really. the only reason charges are being pressed now is the media frenzy (created in large part by fabricated reporting) that led to a lynch mob out to get Zimmerman. The angry mindless mob got want they wanted. If that's the case then this prosecutor should lose her job. Alternatively, if she has a solid case, then the previous prosecutor should lose his job.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 07:15 PM) Twins had a miracle comeback against the Angels again. All is not happiness in LaLa Land for now. That Pujols deal will be a noose around Moreno's neck, although they have the attendance and broadcast deals and the Dodgers' sale to inflate the value of that franchise into the stratosphere. Projecting Pujols to fail because of a slow first few games is not a bet I'd make.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 06:07 PM) that comes out during discovery Obviously they are required to give their evidence to the defense, I'm just trying to see now if the prosecution appears to have a stronger case than the fairly weak one presented in the media.

If the prosecution had something not publicly known, whether it be another eyewitness or some other analysis of some phone call or some other analysis of the injuries, or perhaps an analysis based on the autopsy, whatever...would the prosecution be compelled by law to release it in that affidavit? Or is that a statement of some portion of what they might know, including enough information to bring charges but not necessarily everything? For example, if Martin's body had an injury which suggested Zimmerman had hurt him as well prior to the shot (just an example), would they be compelled to state something like that?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 05:33 PM) You go to a baseball game to watch BASEBALL not surf for porn. Who dreamed up this idea? Last year I spent 5 minutes trying to post a picture of Derrick Rose on facebook during warmups of the Hawks/Bulls game 6. The purpose of this was entirely to make 5 specific people jealous of the fact that I was at the game and they were not. I was unable to do so, but eventually got a picture of Noah to go through which eventually served that purpose. Allowing me to brag to friends during the game that I am at the game is, for me, the point.
