George Zimmerman’s defense team rested its case Wednesday, after using its final day of testimony to paint the neighborhood watch volunteer as a wimp who was getting pummeled when he shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense, at one point commandeering a mannequin introduced by prosecutors in order to re-enact its version of the fight.

The prosecution is going to bring in witnesses to rebutt some of the defense’s witnesses.

In slightly different words, the prosecution wants to show reasonable doubt as to GZ's innocence, to convict.

The judge got in one last lick asking if George Z was going to testify. The judge is out of order on this item and this shows the prejudice of the judge.

That depends upon whether the judge made the statement in the prsence of the jury. If the jury was out or if the comment was made during a sidebar, then the question is perfectly proper and appropriate. If the jury was present, then the proper way for the judge to ask the question is "does the defense intend to call any more witnesses" or "does the defense rest?"

“This “not guilty” verdict will cause more chaos than the original crime or even the Rodney King aftermath. “

For that reason, I’m concerned the jury will find him guilty rather than be blamed for rioting and deaths that would result.

Don’t you just love looking at a photo like that of the judge and knowing immediately that she’s a liberal. It’s automatic.

The defense eviscerated the prosecution so it should be a slam dunk. But you are right, this country has become so crazy and the governance so corrupt that anything is possible.

He should have taken the stand, I think he made a big mistake in not doing so.

To give the prosecution their chance to shout random accusations and obscenties to him, interleaved with "did you not?" - while the judge sits back and allows all this?

GZ should not even come close to the witness stand. He has already delivered his side of the story in the video.

Perhaps this one had to be over before the NAACP Convention started. It’s July 13-17 in Orlando.

He may still yet testify on sur-rebuttal, after the state puts on their rebuttal (if the Judge and/or Florida law allows it)

If that's so, how can he be on board with George Zimmerman being jailed?

Have you seen his approval ratings lately?
