Today, July 2nd, is DAY #17 (of 4th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.
Today Detective Chris Serino will be back on the stand. [Yesterday ended] on the stand with Chris Serino, who was the lead investigator for the Sanford Police Department on the Trayyvon Martin shooting.
Defense counsel Mark O’Mara led cross-examination with his usual consummate skill, obtaining responses from this witness–remember, the State’s witness–that all but completely guts the State’s charge in this case.
Among the key revelations so far: Zimmerman was always completely cooperative, open, and straightforward with all the police investigators over many weeks of multiple interviews, both in person at the police station and phone. The sense given is that Zimmerman demonstrated endless patience. (continue reading summary)

That right there is circumstantial evidence.
-——> Common area is to be used by all Homeowners....it’s not considered tresspassing.
It was not a common area. It was a front yard. The owner of which was on Greta last night.
Depends on what the jury thinks..how much is too much...
One pound on the pavement with me not being able to get him off and I would probably shoot him.
But then I might be convicted.
He was not in the common area at that time but in a plot of grass about ten by ten in front of the window/door. What we would consider our front yard
The area where the confrontation took place was common ground but because the initial area be was spotted had driveway/ door/ porch / window / sidewalk on its perimeter it could be argued that it was part of the house therefor private space
[I AM TRYING TO WATCH A TRIAL]
All due respect but how do WATCH THE TRIAL and post on FR at the same time.
Seriously...how do you do it?
I said from the beginning that O’Mara better do the cross instead of West and that I thought he could do a good job.
He has.
He would do more if he could.
He can when he calls Serino.
Oh Brother...he wrote a book??
Yep. It's one thing if a guy takes a swing at you and runs. It's quite another if he's on top, punching away, and there's no indication he's going to stop before you are dead.
Well, FYI.... I use my ipad to watch the trial and post to FR on my husbands ipad.
Ahhhhhh.... well, good point.
That makes sense.
What is that My Cousin Vinny mess?
Come on people we’re trying to discuss what’s happening in the trial today.
Damn.
Publisher took the word “mother******” out of the book —
Is Bernie going to call the publisher???
Anyone have a clue what this witness can say to help the prosecution?
He looks almost too happy to be testifying. (more book sales?)
Legals......is this heresay?
Wondring the same thing. And why it’s being allowed.
no idea but why isn’t THIS hearsay?
Trying to follow all of this at work, so I missed some things. You keep saying there were multiple reasons given by Zimmerman concerning why he got out of the truck. How many times did he get out of the truck, and if more than once, which egress are you referring to? And what were those reasons given by Zimmerman?
