11:29 a.m.
O’Mara questions Good about his written statement. He points out it is about half a page. He says the interview with Serino was about a page and a half. O’Mara says the deposition was 50 pages.

O’Mara asks if just the fact that each statement was longer means he was lying. Good says no.

Good says he clarified that he could not actually see punches and the guy with the red was on the bottom.

“That never changed,” he says.

O’Mara says he wants to put into context his use of the words “ground and pound.” He reads the statement to the court.

De la Rionda objects. Judge Nelson overrules.

“It looked like that position was a ground and pound type position but I couldn’t tell 100 percent that there was actually fists hitting faces,” Good says in response to O’Mara’s question.

De la Rionda asks about him clarifying that he did not see blows to the guy on the bottom. Good says that is correct.

Judge Nelson says court will they will be in recess until 1 p.m. She gives them instructions to not research the case.

Court is in recess until 1 p.m.

11:15 a.m.
“I don’t think I’m in shape to do that, no,” Good says in answer to a question if he is MMA trained.

O’Mara begins re-direct. They check to see if anyone needs a break, but O’Mara says he will only be 5 to 10 minutes. He’s told not to talk to the jury but Judge Nelson.

O’Mara asks him about his written statement and wants to submit it for evidence.

De la Rionda objects and they go into sidebar with Judge Nelson.

11:12 a.m.
Good says the porch light illuminates the patio area.

De la Rionda submits a transcript, but O’Mara requests the audio be played.

Good says he believes he used the words “ground and pound,” but he did used the words pounding on the ground. He says it could’ve been said by Serino.

“I only saw downward movement,” Good says.

De la Rionda asks about his belief that the person on the bottom yelled help and if it was the person on top, it would’ve sounded different.

Good says he didn’t see anyone’s mouth moving and didn’t hear a muffled “help.”

De la Rionda asks if he could say the person on the bottom was trying to get up. He says thinks anyone on the bottom would’ve been trying to get up.

De la Rionda asks him if clarifying or elaborating means he was lying originally. He says no, the question was never asked.

De la Rionda asks about him going upstairs and looking out to see the victim on the ground and Zimmerman standing with one or two guys with

flashlights present. He shows him a picture of Martin’s body.

Good says the body was facedown.

De la Rionda gives the picture to the jury.

These talking heads... STOP THE INSANITY!

They're claiming that because John described the MMA "straddle" position as one in which the person on the bottom can have arms free to be able to defend/return blows doesn't change the fact that John only saw the person on top making downward arm movements, and didn't see any return blows.

They're claiming that John's description of MMA "Ground and Pound" means that Zimmerman now *must* testify that he was in fear of imminent risk of life or great bodily harm.

In reality, he has to do no such thing. The State has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman did not reasonably fear imminent risk of life or great bodily harm, and that Zimmerman was not preventing the commission of a forcible felony.

Are they idiots, or just drama/ratings whores?

Trying to figure the same thing out. How does someone have a license to practice law and not know that George had no requirement to fight back. Also, just a slight question, wasn't Trayvon in the middle of a felony when George fired the shot?

Yeah, and I'm sure the jurors are thinking the exact same thing!

sarcasm off!

Hmmmmmm....sounds suspiciously like "leading from behind".

I would like to WELCOME all the guests reading during this trial

John is gone for the state, unless they wish to ask to recall him.

Have to abandone the trial watching and work for $$$

TIA for all keeping me up to date on the trial here!

I'm confused - where are you getting this from - are you watching a live stream or what? Just need to know so I too can watch.

I'm watching here. They are on lunch break now.

IF you read the START of this thread... there are several places that put up a live stream... there will be a link to the actual live stream at those places.

At the start of ech day I post a link to the two I use most often.

At the moment CTH run the stream from "Wildabouttrials" that seems to work consistently.

are any of the rest of you folks seen as a bit crazy fro being so interested in this trial or the outcome? My wife can't understand why I care and when I try to give her some insight into the national/BGI implications she just tunes out/changes the subject or comments that she could never listen to someone like DD talk for as long as I did/do.

For sure, the more opinions the merrier. Welcome to all.
