I’m thinkin that Zimmerman should take the stand and state his case. Normally I wouldn’t think that but in this degenerate, race charged culture I think he has to stand up there and state his case.
I don't have the time to follow the case as closely as I would like.
Zimmerman cooperated fully with law enforcement and videos were made showing his explanation for what happened.
If the prosecution does not show the videos, then it means that the videos do not support conviction. In this case, the defense may not be entitled to enter them into evidence because Zimmerman's statements are self-serving and not subject to cross-examination.
I wonder, however, whether the defense can get witnesses to admit that such videos were made and that such witnesses saw nothing that was incriminating in the videos? Or would even mention of the videos be disallowed?
This issue is why I fully support the notion that one should NEVER talk to the police. Even if you tell the absolute truth, the police may find a credible witness who mistakenly contradicts you and your credibility may be injured in a way which could never happen if you simply say NOTHING.
