I think she and Crump are losing credibility by the day. They want to go back to the day when they could go before a camera and lie because the evidence wasn't released. Reality is hitting them right in the face.

Nasty Jack needs to remember the defense has NOT presented a single witness as of yet ... the persecutions witnesses just seem to be pro defense because the facts are this is a BS charge

They don't need to, the prosecution is presenting all of the witnesses the defense needs.

I should have confirmed I didn't believe it, but just wanted confirmation in case I missed it. She can't be this this stupid? I'll answer my own question...yes she is, as well as a liar!

Also, didn't one of the officers, in their police report, write he over heard GZ tell EMTs he was yelling for help and no one came?

Has that been brought out?

Tim Smith, the officer who overheard that statement is on the stand right now, and O'Mara is just starting cross-ex.

There are/were a lot of guests that may not know your posts as well as many of us. I took your question as being along the lines of "fill me in on what I missed so I'll know what degree of falseness was tweeted this time."

Thanks. I suppose Bernie will yell hearsay.

Nelson already ruled the statement admissible as res gestae.

1. Yes, IIRC. 2. Not yet, but MOM mentioned the name of the EMT that I believe heard it.

Also, remember Smith has a res gestate statement from GZ that will be coming up soon; again, IIRC.

All of my posts should be read with the understanding that I know less about this case than most here. I have not read all discovery, studied scene, etc.

O'Mara brilliant yet again on cross-ex. Got Ofc. Tim Smith to agree that slight movement of arms extended upward was sufficient to see previously concealed gun. Obviously, establishes reasonable doubt that Martin inadvertently discovered Zimmerman's gun during the fight.

Is anyone else FLABBERGASTEd that this case came to trial? For MURDER 2?

Sorry for the shouting - this is just such a mockery of justice and the court system. What a waste.

The pros had no case whatsoever.

This has always been the question. When is enough enough? There is never a definitive answer and there are many crime victims who regret waiting too long. Mr. Zimmerman's action completely dovetail with someone who was acting under duress.

I would imagine Mr. O'Mara will have a medical person come on and testify to the medical symptoms of someone who has their nose hit. This is a completely debilitating action, which is why women are told to push up on the attacker's nose to disable them.

I know I am. I don't think I have ever seen a case that is so weak.

I think what happened that night was tragic, but every death doesn't mean a crime was committed.

Another great defense witness.

3:36 p.m.
O’Mara demonstrates the way Zimmerman lifted his arm to show the officer his gun.

Smith confirms he doesn’t believe the jacket covered the gun by more than a few inches.

O’Mara points out that it didn’t take much movement to display the gun in that fashion with the length of his jacket.

O’Mara goes over the process for handcuffing Zimmerman.

Smith says Zimmerman did not resist to being handcuffed.

O’Mara asks if Zimmerman seemed angry, frustrated, or with ill-will. Smith says no.

Smith says he saw the injuries to the back of Zimmerman’s head.

Zimmerman seemed calm, Smith says.

3:30 p.m.
Smith says he wanted to be a cop since he was little. O’Mara asks him about the “protect and serve” phrase. Smith says he enjoys his job, but O’Mara asks about a “shots fired” call.

Smith says you tend to wait a bit more for more information when it is a shots fired call.

O’Mara mentions him shining a light down the alley way.

Smith says his gun has a flashlight on it, but he used a standard flashlight.

He says he came upon the scene with his flashlight out, but not his gun.

O’Mara asks Smith about the proximity of Martin’s body.

Smith says Zimmerman was standing on the sidewalk. He’s not 100 percent certain about anyone else being present.

Most of Smith’s responses are “yes, sir.”

3:24 p.m.
The footage shows Smith’s patrol car pull in, Zimmerman get out, officers escort him into the station and walking through it.

Smith says he went to a viewing room with one-way glass. He says he didn’t see Zimmerman do anything to cause concern for his health.

Smith says he can’t make out what the investigator said with Zimmerman while in the viewing room.

Guy finishes questioning. O’Mara begins cross-examination.

3:19 p.m.
Guy resumes questioning by playing surveillance footage from the police station.
