It’s difficult to watch. It almost seems like he’s trying to negate the prosecutor’s drama-filled opening statement with the facts of the case, but doing it badly.

Wow...This is like watching paint dry!!

Is there another attorney on Zimmerman's team that can hopefully bring some facts of this case, instead of telling all the times of phone calls, etc?

His manner of speaking & body language is terrible. Hope he won't keep droning on & on for long.

He's not doing a very good job at this time.

Fyi...the whole trial will be shown on HLN. They take a lot of commercial breaks but they pause the action and start up again where they left off. You don’t miss any testimony but not quite live.

West...one of Zimmerman’s lawyers. He is boring, confusing, making no sense, was admonished by the judge almost immediately and cracked a really stupid knock-knock joke. He has also corrected himself several times. Maybe he’s really working for the prosecution...he’s sure not helping Zimmerman!

ON other pages, they are saying this guy works for the state, not the defense. No one can follow this guy...he keeps doubting his own statements...it’s unbelievable.

So far, listening to Mr. West has been worse than listening to a speech by JUNIOR (I mean Barack Obama).

If I was Zimmerman I’d stand up right now and ask to fire West

Is that possible? Could he get a do-over? This is the most horrific defense I’ve ever seen and it needed to be the best possible!

To: Mr. K
And why would Zimmerman get close enough with his gun to shoot upright into his midsection when he could have blasted him from a few yards away? (presumably while St. trayvon was screaming help - instead of running away)

The angle of bullet penetration, plus any blood splatter on Zimmerman's clothing and on the ground, will show that Trayvon was on top of a prone Zimmerman, at an angle that would facilitate Trayvon pounding on Zimmerman.

the procecution lies in opening statmrnt: and puts two statements together when they were separate and not vindictive

If this Lawyer (West) is allowed to continue throughout the trial, there won’t be any riots. Everyone will be in a coma.
