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.

Oh, that prosecutor who plays with dolls?

Yep.
Just part of the contrived drama. On cue. Probably received a text from the Revs and DOJ CRS to get up and leave NOW.
“So how long does he get to screech and scream at the jury today after O’Mara is done?”
Yesterday, judge gave him an hour to rebut.
E28: Alternate juror E28 is a middle-aged white woman who claimed to know little of the case. She went on to say she has no opinions as to whether Zimmerman is guilty.
Probably an attorney-coached move intended to generate sympathy based on the notion that the autopsy photo being shown again was too traumatic for them to bear.
Oh yeah.
Part of the show.
Those people are rude.
He needs to address the manslaughter option. The jury might want to “compromise” and they don’t know the long sentence that GZ could receive if convicted of this.
“I think he did say at first he thought part of an awning.
Confirmed later it was a slim Jim”
Yes. So a burglary tool is found in the area close to where TM was that night, and once again...it is totally ignored.
Typical.
Guy is up I think.

Goes down on foam dolls and revels when yelling profanities.
My point is, was there actually any awning, portable or otherwise, there? I’ve seen many pics and videos of the area and I don’t recall seeing any awning of any kind. Normally, there are deed restrictions as to what one can “put up” outside of one’s dwelling.
The important point is: was there a way for that piece of metal to have innocently fallen there, or was it more likely dropped there by somebody who was using it as a burglar tool (regardless of whether it started out in life as a Slim Jim or as a part of something else).
Not just rude. They are filled with agenda and dreams of hitting the victim lottery.
“He needs to address the manslaughter option”
He’s not allowed to do that.
Possibly because they can’t muster tears, so better to leave and allow speculation of sobbing in hallway.
Does anyone know whether these photos and summaries can go with the jury to the jury room? I’m guessing not but don’t know crim pro. MoM is following what I learned early in my career, you give the trier of fact three things to remember/think about per issue. Similar to what I learned in law school studying for exams. Boil the whole semester/year down to five issues. It’s hard to do this and requires a brilliant mind which it sounds like MoM has.
Okay, I didn’t know that. Thanks.
MOM now telling them they must announce the acquittal in front of the martin family.
Sympathy is not part of their decision.
Decision must be based on the law.
