George Zimmerman’s defense team rested its case Wednesday, after using its final day of testimony to paint the neighborhood watch volunteer as a wimp who was getting pummeled when he shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense, at one point commandeering a mannequin introduced by prosecutors in order to re-enact its version of the fight.
Zimmerman did not take the stand, though his team left the option open until the last minute, with Zimmerman finally telling Judge Debra Nelson he would not testify. The conclusion of the defense’s case came in the afternoon, after a day of testimony highlighted by attorney Mark O’Mara straddling the mannequin and slamming its head against the floor while asking a witness if such violence could have caused head wounds shown in photos of Zimmerman taken after the Feb. 26, 2012 confrontation.

Well, they are all married, and one of them even had a CCW. She let it lapse, but her husband still has his. I’m hoping that if nothing else, she will hang it.

Shouldn’t take an honest jury more than 15 minutes to reach a verdict.10 to choose the foreman, 5 to poll, 10 to finish lunch or dinner.

There will be.
I hope so.
It won't be pretty...
It never is, but if it were, it wouldn't be effective.
