Save time, focuses the jury on the issues of material fact.

Haven't MOM & Co. given up the chance to cross-examine the ME (Bao) who actually examined the body and neutralize any of the paid-for ME's (Rao) testimony?

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.
