Today, June 28th, is DAY #15 (of 3rd week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. [Yesterday] … it was simply not a very good day at all for the prosecution. The primary State witnesses today were Rachel Jeantel, Jenna Lauer, and Selma Mora.
The first had her credibility substantively destroyed, the second was powerfully–almost humiliatingly–co-opted by the defense, and the third provided testimony entirely consistent with the defense’s theory of lawful self-defense. (continue reading)

Good says he added 'ground and pound' later to give better visual.
(IIRC, Good used the 'MMA' description in his day after interview with the Orlando Fox affiliate.)
improper impeachment — judge said it might be helping recollection but Berbnie lost in the exchange — he said ground and pound.
He asked the judge whether the prosecution was trying to impeach or help the witness recollect.
In retrospect, I believe it is more impeach in the sense of overly embellish, or take the term from the interviewing police officer.
EXACTLY
It’s what I’ve been saying along.
Totally agree.
Good doesn’t want to be there. He’s being very careful about what he says, certainly doesn’t want to be called back. He is a reluctant witness, just a man in the wrong place a the wrong time.
Oooohh good point. ‘John Good’ just said he only saw the person on the ground ‘after’ he heard the yelling for help.
The person on top yelling for help, really relandoahole??
My Lord, this really is a circus!
didn’t see mouth moving — LOL
Couldn’t say that the guy on bottom was trying to get up — ohhh yeh sure the guy on the bottom was enjoying the beatdown.
Good says he can't say for sure who yelled for help. Says he didn't see hands of person on bottom.
BDLR asks Good if he was lying in his initial statements. Good says no, elaborations came because questions not asked originally.
Seriously! This is painful!
WTH? He accusing Good of lying?
I understand that will be brought to the attention of the court at a later time...
Full desperation mode now by the state.
Indeed.
Didn’t the prosecution just accuse their own witness of lying?
My gawd. . .
I think the prosecution has just about proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Trayvon was guilty of assault!
He asks JG if later clarifications of his statements mean that he was lying originally. What kind of tactic is that?
the interviewing police officer -> detective Serino

BDLR should be glad he’s on the public dole being paid to railroad innocent folks—he’d never make it in the private sector. What a complete idiot; he doesn’t have the slightest clue what he’s doing!
I sensed irritation.
