Today, July 12th, is DAY #24 (of 5th week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.
Yesterday the prosecution provide closing arguments (Summary: http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/07/states-closing-argument-two-hours-of-raising-doubt).
Today the defense attorney, Mark O’Mara will present his closing argument. Then the prosecution rebuttal.

We are emotional, which in most instances makes us honest to a fault.
Doesn’t necessarily bode well for a quick decision.
Jury just requested a list of the evidence.
There is apparently 1 juror who was seen crying during the prosecution’s closing arguments, she is probably the one that will take forever to convince to acquit
There are about 250 items in evidence. I don’t think this request from the jury jibes with a quick verdict.
They’ve got some dance music and need a partner?
Apparently they want a numbered list of exibits.
I would not be surprised if Z was on anti - anxiety meds.
MOM told them to take their time and go through it.
No verdict today. All the morons at the courthouse looking for TV time can go home.
the public assistance off must have just closed.
Guns, I guess.

Now where did I put that kevlar vest???
Sorry. Just now seeing this. I went outside real quick during the pros rebuttal to water plants and got distracted by 2 snakes. :-/
You said, “Has she [TM’s mother] been allowed back in after her dramatic departures or has she had to wait at least until a break? Do you know?”
To my knowledge, she hasn’t tried to return after exiting. I would think they wouldn’t break the rules of no readmittance until break, but who knows. If she’s doing it as a strategy instead of being genuinely upset, it doesn’t sound like a wise strategy to try you come back in anyway.
That's my prediction.
I may be way off. It may take a lot longer than that. It may take days.
We'll see! ;-)
Unless they are looking for something specific that a juror needs to see before final vote.
Well hell....they should have had that from the get-go, IMO. But what do I know? This is Floriduh protocol. No logic required.
They showed George today putting some padding in his suit, I think to stop the sweating..I cant imagine being him right now..he knows no matter what happens he will never be truly free again
He’s going to have to live in a house surrounded with barbed wire and never leave it.
Remember, a hung jury works both ways - if only 1 juror thinks it is self-defense, and sticks to her guns, there will be no guilty verdict in this trial.
This turned out to be not true I think.
