“Bill Schaeffer WTF says that if GZ takes the stand he will be making the biggest mistake of his life that he will be on the stand for 5 days.
He then suggests that the question was premature as there are 2 witnesses left to come.”
I think BS is understating the abuse this Judge was attempting by sugar coating it as “premature”.

#zimmermantrial Hmmm, looks like State opened door into getting in some of these judgment questions to Root—did GZ acted reasonably. Oopsie

The judge forced #Zimmermanon9 to answer about testifying despite his lawyer’s objection. She has to ask him again anyway.
I wonder if the defense has considered asking for her to be removed, which would essentially result in a mistrial-but decided against it because the case is otherwise going so well?
By now, they have to be pretty certain that they have solid avenues on appeal; but an acquittal knocks the socks off of winning an appeal.
