Today, July 1st, is DAY #16 (of 4th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.
Last week the prosecution feebly presented the first series of witnesses against George Zimmerman. However, as most observers would note, the witnesses called by the state have so far been more beneficial for the Zimmerman Self-Defense position.

Good luck!
I understand how they'd want to watch all the proceedings, but aren't witnesses generally prohibited from viewing/knowing what has been said in the trial?

DIdn't know that! I'll bet he changed his mind by now though...lol
Creepy ass cracker is street lingo for a homosexual man. DD comment he might be a rapist, RUN! Fits into a homophobic attitude that would be motive for the beat down
interesting how Trayvon went from talking tough (calling Z a creepy cracka-ass and joking about how Z might be a rapist) to suddenly screaming at the top of his lungs in utter fear.
That is not the activity of someone fearful of a bad guy. That is the activity of a tough guy.
>> can be raised later after a not guilty verdict in civil context.
OK, I can see how that might work.
Thx for the insight.
In her testimony, she also said Treyvon called Zimmerman the ‘N’ word...
who was martin staying with that night.
talking head just said he was going to visit his father..as if he wasn’t staying with this father as a minor
OMG...But can the jurors think logically??
Was George screaming in fear of his life, or was Trayvon screaming because he was profiled? Or was he screaming like an MMA fighter might be boosting his primal power as he pummeled George's head?
I guess the prosecution is desperate win any points, even if it doesn't really mean anything.
She’s extremely prejudice...I’m not sure what drives it...
Potential witnesses are generally barred from being in court during the trial but the judge allowed them. Sounds like more grounds for a defense appeal, as if they needed more.
Anyone know how about far along the prosecution is in their presentation of their side of the case and have they mostly already shot their “big guns” regarding witnesses and evidence?
I can’t fathom how O’Mara and West wouldn’t already be aware that Rachel Jeantel is not the original Witness #8, “Dee Dee.”
They are exceptionally sharp; it makes me wonder if prosecution and defense together agreed to cooperate in this show trial just to mitigate riots, etc.
I wonder if T’s past visits to the retreat would sync up with the dates that the previous burglaries occurred on. I wonder if anyone has even bothered to look into it. I wonder a LOT of things about this case...lol.
>> I’m still not certain on how TM’s parents are in the courtroom if they’re going to be witnesses in the case???
My guess (and it is just a guess):
There may be some sort of “victim rights” law in FL that says the family of the “victim” MUST BE allowed to witness the trial.
That makes for an unavoidable legal conflict with the doctrine that a witness can’t view the trial. So something has to give...
I hope that they play the 7 Eleven audio of his “Hello” and ask if that is his as well???
“She’s extremely prejudice...I’m not sure what drives it...”
For the same reason GZ is being prosecuted........fear, political pressure, threats from the black community.
Someone on the clickorlando chat window said that Rachel was on one of the Sunday tv shows, and had a completely different demeanor, spoke more clearly, looked better.
Will have to go to youtube to see if it has been posted.
I’ve been wondering the same thing. In the reenactment, Zimmerman pointed out two places that were burglarized previously along this same path.
