Today, July 5th, is DAY #19 (of 4th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.
The State is expected to wrap up their case today – A great recap of the trial so far is available HERE: The key witness today expected to be Sybrina Fulton, mom.
Great Expectations? Remember, as y’all have noted during the 15+ months of research, there is so much corruption in the assembly of this case we could expect the State to avoid the traditional witnesses brought by normal prosecutions. We have not been disappointed in our predictions. The state has already won a pre-trial motion to bar the defense mentioning the absence of any witness from the State’s case.
So it comes as no surprise, not a single State investigator has been called, not a single FBI officer, only one local investigative detective, Chris Serino (who supported the defense), and now the profound possibility they won’t even present the Seminole County Medical Examiner. So has the State actually even proven that Trayvon is indeed, deceased? Without the M.E. the ballistics are essentially moot – where did the aforementioned bullet come from? They have not established it came from Trayvon’s body. Think about it.
Because of pre-trial ‘motions in limine’ to exclude the defense bringing it up, O’Mara cannot mention it. Would/Will the jurors notice a missing M.E. = Trayvon blood tox. etc?

no reason to play the video
answers were the same
and what the Judge is saying..even if they were different
it’s collateral impeachment
You’ve got that right!
Only as to the fact that the body examined was Trayvon Martin. The ME who found cause of death is available as a witness to both sides, for any other matter. I think the ME will be called by the state, today, to establish cause of death. Then the state will rest.

She said that the tattoos are on his right arm. Why are there pictures of him with tattoos on his left arm???
I believe the brother is being honest all except the part where he answered that it he thinks it’s TM’s voice NOW. Otherwise, he seems to WANT to be honest, but is pulled by loyalty.
That’s obvious of course.
He comes across as sincere.
The judge, IMO has terrible body language. She appears more concerned with her image on camera than the case itself.
Very troubling......seems like the evidence locker has been tampered with
This is just another of the dozens of reversible errors.
Not allowing in the recording of a witness to give the jury a sense of the witness’ demeanor and inflection at a time closer to the event is clearly improper.
This judge is a tool.
She has personal bias against the defendant and his attorneys that is plainly evident.
hmmmm.... worth checking into further.
Does the jury have access to the recorded interview, in its entirety? Has it already been entered into evidence? During their deliberations, are they able to listen to it, and/or read a transcript of it?
Bill Schaefer thinks MOM should not have questioned Mother and it may have been a turning point
AND
Bernie should have waited to the end to call her.
I wonder if she received advice about how the case was making her look. She is coming off as biased which is “unjudge-like”.
If Zman gets off, people will be looking for a scapegoat.

We’re in a break while a locksmith unlocks the evidence locker in the courtroom!! #Zimmermanon9
The motion comes from the defense. I agree, the judge will deny the motion. But O'Mara will put her in the spot of having to consider it, and having to deny it. It is a very strong point for appeal, for O'Mara.
So in a unbiased trial, that recording would be played in front of the jury, correct?
My Floriduh.
So it seems — that is troubling
Just said that when she said that TM is in heaven, it was a turning point. imo, BS is more interested on a dramatic narrative than anything
