Can O Mara simply state something to the effect that it’s not illegal to follow in his closing ?

Zimmerman didn't follow. It is clear from the tape that he lost track of Martin's whereabouts while talking on the phone.

Hard to tell until the State finishes making new ones up.

What the hell? Is that Corey sitting behind Mantei giving HIM instructions? Or am I seeing things?

Yep, there she is, the big bloated freak. She puts shame all over this trial.
*********************************************************************
I don’t have access to streaming video at the moment, but mentally I’m picturing Corey over Mantei as the boil-infested Baron Harkonnen floating above Jar Jar Bink with Jar Jar having a befuddled look on his face.

I wonder if the judge listened to Rush Limbaugh today.

About as likely as she worked in a three mile run.

And the defense will not be able to let the jury know that if Zimmerman is convicted on the lesser charges, he could actually wind up with a harsher sentence. They might think, “well, he doesn’t deserve life in prison, but maybe a few years is appropriate”, not knowing that the mandatory minimums and weapons enhancements will send him away for life.

Let’s see: Murder 2, Manslaughter (3rd degree thrown out), Was there an aggravated assault w/firearm charge thrown in there as well?

This is like watching a typical Shakespearian Farce.

I think she is part of the team. I think they work for her.

Court recessed again.

Judge isn't as totally as bad as she looks like Chris Farley.

Manslaughter included commentators are saying. I guess it was possibly "there" all along. By law?

The judge has said that he can argue that in his closing. What she didn't mention is that the judge explains the law, as it applies, to the jury. And at that time, the judge always tells the jury that whatever the lawyers say in their closing is not testimony and is not law. They are told to rely solely on the judge's instructions for their understanding of the law.

The prosecutions closing argument is going to be very hard for all of us to watch, filled with exaggerations, innuendo and probably untruths. then sleep and wait until the defense has their chance tomorrow. A tough 24 hours or so.

They are sequestered. They may not know their lives are in danger.

Right now, there's more cops in central Florida than you can shake a stick at! First, all surrounding communities have been on high alert. Second, the NAACP conference is going on or starting in Orlando. Third, Law Enforcement KNOWS that there are plenty of death threats against ALL White People.

I think that the jurists are safe for a while. Don't know how long though...

WFTV said assault is a threat. Battery is when the weapon is used. So they cannot use assault.
