I'm seeing lots of comments about not liking West's presentation.

To the contrary: this is how I imagine a federal trial lawyer plays to a jury: dispassionate, just-the-facts, subtle cues to imprint a point of view on the jurors.

This is a thing of beauty to listen to, especially knowing how much it utterly destroys the State's emotion-based case.


I like his style. Always have.

11:31 a.m.
West says he forgot to mention where Martin was staying with his father’s girlfriend.

He says no adults were home at the time and the All-Star game was happening.

West shows a transcript of the beginning of the call and says they will look at the times.

The call was connected at 7:09:34 and disconnected at 7:13:40 p.m., West says.

West Martin’s call with the woman started at 6:54:14 and ended at 7:11:47 p.m. and about 20 seconds later they reconnected.

West points out Zimmerman telling the dispatcher “he’s just staring at me.” He shows where Zimmerman pulled over to make the call.

West points out that Zimmerman said “get an officer over here.”

He says the dispatcher said “just let me know if this guy does anything else.”

West says residents asked him to report to the police neighborhood watch coordinator. West says there was an attempted break-in a couple of weeks before.

He mentions the expletive phrase.

West says Zimmerman was following Martin at a distance and reporting to the police.

West says when the dispatcher said “let me know if he does anything else,” Zimmerman was doing that.

West says the dispatcher asked Zimmerman to tell him which way Martin was running.

West says the jurors can hear the chime and the seatbelt.

West says he seems to remember that the call Martin was on ended about that time.

West says at 7:11:48, Zimmerman got out of the truck and Zimmerman described which entrance Martin was heading for.

West says noise is evident that Zimmerman is out of the vehicle.

He says at that point Martin had been staring at Zimmerman and had his hand in his waistband and took off.

West says the dispatcher realized Zimmerman was out of the vehicle and asked if Zimmerman was following Martin.

West shows where Zimmerman was at the point.

West mentions a witness that said she thought she heard voices before the event. He says there’s no way to know for sure if it was Zimmerman talking to the dispatcher.

West quotes the dispatcher saying “we don’t need you to do that.”

West says Zimmerman stopped.

He says a witness, an 18-year-old woman at the time, came into the case about three weeks later.

West points out the dispatcher statement asked for Zimmerman’s name and what address he was parked in front of.

West says there was confusion because Zimmerman was parked, but there were no street signs.

West says the dispatcher asked for Zimmerman’s address. He says Zimmerman stopped giving his address because he didn’t know where Martin ran to.

West says the evidence proves “Trayvon Martin hadn’t gone home.”

He shows a picture taken by medical examiners showing how dark it was outside. West says all the witness said it was dark.

West says there’s some more conversation about meeting an officer. West says instead of meeting at a specific location, he asked that the officer call him.

He plays the call again.

If he isn't a witness, he can be there.

I wonder who the B/M with the glasses is.

Make the point that the first 911 call was because the crime history of the community had the residents SUSPICIOUS of something to worry about for the sake of their safety …a trend present that evening throughout the neighboring units.

As the court hears the screams.... does not look to me like Tracy has a flicker of emotion... hardly what you would expect if he thought he was hearing the dying screams of his Son

But not a witness in the trial and can be in the courtroom.

The woman who kicked TM™ out of her house* out negotiating for after opening statements interviews? Or can't pull off her part without Crump acting as puppet master?

Or maybe, I suppose it's possible I'm just not seeing her.

*In case that needs narrowing down, I'm referring to Traymom™

Did George say he was "on top of him" (Trayvon) or reaching over him to hold his arms?

West has said "on top of him" 3 times now.

George Zimmerman’s Defense Attorney Kicks Off Opening Statement With a Knock-Knock Joke


Zimmerman defense attorney Mark O'Mara: Look, Don, I know how much you love knock-knock jokes. But are you sure the opening statement of a murder trial is an appropriate setting for one?
Zimmerman defense attorney Don West: If there is one place where a knock-knock joke is most appropriate, it's a murder trial.
O'Mara: Listen, Don, let's—

West: Knock-knock.

O'Mara: No, come on, Don, not now.

West: Knock-knock.

O'Mara: [Sighs.] Who's there?

West: Mark.

O'Mara: Mark who?

West: Mark who should just shut his stupid face because he doesn't know the first thing about being a trial lawyer, or knock-knock jokes, and should just go order the Chinese food like he said he was going to do half an hour ago and should not forget to ask for brown rice instead of white rice, like he did last time.

O'Mara: Okay, Don. That's not even a joke — that's just a string of insults.

West: Knock-knock.

Might that have been someone on the defense approaching to give West the gun/holster image he misplaced?

You could be right... makes more sense... Nelson would never say NO to Prosecutor
