Bernie de la Rionda began by asking the judge to strike from the record a statement Det. Chris Serino made Monday in which he said he found credible Zimmerman's account of how he got into a fight with Trayvon Martin. De la Rionda argued the statement was improper because one witness isn't allowed to give an opinion on the credibility of another witness. Defence attorney Mark O'Mara argued it was proper because Serino was vetting Zimmerman's veracity in his probe.
Judge Debra Nelson told jurors to disregard the statement.
"This is an improper comment," the judge said.

Reminds me of the saying,
“What do you call the lawyer who graduates last in their class? Your Honor.”
There is NO way this jackass judge is going to dismiss this case regardless of the (Lack of evidence of a crime) facts supporting any charges. She will boot it and make the jury rule on a racial tinderbox.
“But you can’t make chicken salad out of chicken sh!t”
I love that and will squirrel it away for future use
I thought I heard a quote yesterday where someone under oath that he believed Zimmerman’s account was overall accurate or else he’s completely unhinged.
Why would the “unhinged” (or whatever the adjective was) be permitted without challenge?
Media’s been playing up today the bit about overall accurate (or else someone else’s similar comment).
Nope. Move for dismissal. If denied, apply a full defense then win with a two part close. The first part would be based on the defense case. The second part? I’d say, “now this is what was said during the prosecution’s case,” and use only prosecution witnesses’s statements to gut the case.
Read some of the leftwing blogs (bring a barf bag). The State tried to prosecute this case pre-trial, and sadly to some degree it worked. This is just a show trial in hopes that they got six of the people they’d already convinced on the jury.
Awesome movie. I actually read the book long before the movie was made. ‘The Verdict’. At the end, the look on the judge’s face when the jury asked if they could award MORE than the amount being sued for was priceless.
