>> It seems Guy has a crush on the dummy.
She’s not much to look at, but he respects her for her brains, which he sees as superior to his. And he’s sure that in personality, he’s found his soul mate!
Don't hand over the prize just yet.
Apparently George himself MAY testify. The Judge has given them a recess so then can make that decision.
I hope MOM can persuade him not to testify
Exactly
The Martins get a family roundtable but Mr Zimmerman gets put under oath to hear the tape.
WTF
Defense should have asked whether Z sr had ever stated that the voice on the 911 tape was anyone other than his son.
“I think this is it...will he or wont he. Will GZ take the stand.”
I think not. Defense knows the prosecutor would go after him like a pack of wild dogs goes after a small animal.
Is it standard procedure for the judge to ask the defendant whether he wants to testify or not? I don’t recall that happening in any other trial I’ve watched.
She is putting undue pressure on him TO testify. It’s the only thing that could possibly help the state. And it won’t happen. Her protocol as a judge is completely out of line.
I really hope not. I don’t see any reason to at this point.
Watch your language, mister! Heh.
Besides Don West pulling Bernie's pants down (twice) - not much
WTF TV KB: Robert Zimmerman was under oath at State Attorneys office listening to screams on tape, KB says this contrasts with how Martins family listened to call.
Zimmerman should do a speech ala Pacino in Carlito’s Way:
I want to thank you Honor, I wish to thank the prosecutor for dreaming up this case and withholding evidence, I wish to thank the appellate court for over turning your honor. I wish to thank my attorney who never game up on me.
Forget my response.
I can see now you are commenting on him being sworn in to listen to the tape. I was only commenting on the courtroom.
I thought the defense was going to put on evidence of drugs??? Did I miss something?
thanks, I figured that’s what you meant.
A very apt description, so sad.
I’m sure it has to be burning GZ to want to tell his truth.
After sitting there listening to this cowards ahem prosecutors, implying all that they have, it has to be so infuriating.
I too hope he does not take the stand. I see no value in it. He can tell his story in a book he writes.
the effect being telegraphing to the jury that Z is guilty since he is not taking the stand in his own defense?

Hopefully this will be yet another thing that will benefit GZ if the jury picked up on it.
This trial is a perfect illustration of the upside down craziness of life in America today. Nothing makes any sense to me anymore.
