Glenda Hatchett, of the CNN brain trust, is a cretin. She not only appears not to know the law, but has a hard time with analytical and deductive thinking. This has not stopped the woman from becoming a Judge, and the host of the indubitably lucrative “Judge Hatchett.”
It is a shame that the July 12, CNN transcripts cannot convey the look on Judge Alex’s face when Hatchett ventured the following:
HATCHETT: “… I did have an interesting question today. Someone said to me, well, judge, why didn’t George just pull his gun and say, ‘I’m the neighborhood watch, stay where you are until the police gets here.’ I mean, he’s the one who has the gun. Why didn’t he do that?”
Judge Alex Ferrer shot back:
FERRER: “He doesn’t have a right to do that because that would be an aggravated assault. … he would have [no] legal right to pull a gun on somebody who’s not committing a crime.”

The entire Zimmerman case is about two individuals who were not committing crimes, and had a perfect right to be where they were when their paths intersected. This simple fact Judge Hatchett failed to grasp. Hatchett thinks that holding up an innocent individual with a weapon is a legal crime-preventing option.
The hours with Don Lemon, July 13, were as harrowing intellectually, when yet another black legal analyst suggested perfectly seriously (everyone nodded) that we know the Zimmerman jurors are intelligent, because they are … women. (Don Lemon is a piss-poor primetime reporter for CNN, and a pillar of the Thing Jack Kerwick calls the “Racism Industrial Complex (RIC).”)
UPDATE: The jury followed the law, adhered to the Justice’s instructions, and acquitted George Zimmerman. Not guilty. It is as it should be.
