You’re right however wouldn’t it be interesting if after Sybrina, the state rests its case, and then the first person the defense calls for its case is Sybrina —

I've long suspected the State was trying to throw this case for several political reasons.

If it puts mommie dearest on the stand, my opinion will be confirmed.

There's little benefit to her taking the stand outside of trying to curry sympathy from the jurors....to the contrary, the risk of her saying just ONE no-no thing that provides an opening for the defense is ENORMOUS.

I hope the prosecution calls her, hah.

O'Mara will go gentle on Sybrina on cross exam. I think he'll ask when was the last time she saw him, heard him; how many days in the last two years did Trayvon live with her; who was in the room when the 911 call was played, who in that group was first to ID the voice as Trayvon's.

That's it. That's all I'd ask. All focused on basis for knowing the voice, and on any taint that might attach due to group hearing of the 911 call.

Then, when the state rests, I expect the defense will move for judgment of acquittal. That motion is probably 95% drafted, right now. It'll be summarily denied by Nelson.

The first witnesses I would put on the stand for the defense would be Zimmerman's parents, for screamer ID. After that, they can come into the courtroom.
