Judge Presiding Over Zimmerman Trial Repeatedly Put Thumb On Scales – Investors.com
Injustice: There are biased judges, and then there\’s Debra Nelson, who\’s presided over what can only be called a kangaroo court in the George Zimmerman trial.
The bias of Nelson, Florida Circuit Court judge and a lifelong Democrat, in favor of the prosecution and its efforts to railroad Zimmerman as a racist murderer has been palpable throughout the case. Her actions, which have actively aided the state, could poison jurors and factor into future litigation.
Her shameful rulings and behavior, therefore, are worth cataloging, and include:
• Suppressing exculpatory evidence recovered from the (double-password-protected) cell phone of Trayvon Martin that reveal deleted texts of the 17-year-old bragging about street-fighting with friends and relatives and photos showing him brandishing guns, gangsta-style. This evidence supports Zimmerman\’s claim he feared Martin and shot in self-defense.
