DENIED! I need smelling salts, I'm gonna faint!

I'm somewhat lost as to how the state could have expected the tox to be excluded now, other than Nelson being the judge.

OH MY! First she finds no prejudice to state with honorable vet voice id revelation... Now she allows tox expert and report?

Someone please wake me up... I think I'm asleep... Or I'm going to follow Chip and flgirl543 and faint!

West cites a case that has to do with the self-defense argument and admissibility of evidence.

Guy says the presence is not enough, but there has to be testimony about the effect, which they don’t have in this case.

He says it is unknown about the effects on Martin. He says the defendant’s comment that Martin appeared to be on drugs is among many comments said about him.

Guy says they are trying to backdoor negative character evidence.

Judge Nelson the defense has an expert that would testify about the effect it would have.

Guy says the court should hear it in a proffer to make a sound decision.

Judge Nelson asks if there would be an opportunity to proffer the witness.

She says not allowing the testimony to come in would be reversible error.

She says the state will have the opportunity to cross examine and call rebuttal witnesses. She denies the motion in limiting.

Who is this esteemed judge and what has she done with judge Nelson???

Did Mr. Donnelley's testimony about this being about truth get through to her?

Defense was right -- how can they be doing a Richardson hearing for the state while one is pending for the defense?

I mean, yes, they did it, but it was wrong to defer defense's complaint but hear state's.

Judge Nelson says she has already made a similar ruling in not allowing detectives to say their opinion.

She asks about a witness named Root who is a law enforcement expert.

O’Mara says his view of force events and reasonable abilities of the two parties and what element to consider. His expertise on use of force is another issue, plus the effects of trauma and officers involved in shootings.

He says there are a number of areas for Mr. Root to testify.

He says Root has seen the evidence and only spent a little time with Zimmerman and can give his testimony on that.

Judge Nelson asks if those are common sense decisions for the jury to make.

O’Mara says he doesn’t think this jury has the experience background.

Guy argues for the state that the motion is limited to the three opinions offered in his deposition, which was 2.5 hours long.

He says he can testify about law enforcement actions, but not about the defendant.

He says the opinions to the defendant’s guilt or innocence would be improper.

O’Mara asks Judge Nelson to review the deposition.

She says the state’s motion is very clear. She finds that allowing him to testify as an expert would be bolstering the defending. The motion in limiting is granted.

Judge Nelson moves on to the animation.

O’Mara says the exhibit has some movement, but is still frames. Judge Nelson asks if there should be a Daubert hearing.

Mantei says the newest version of the evidence was given to him three hours ago.

Judge Nelson asks for the first witness for the Daubert hearing.

O’Mara asks for a recess.

Judge Nelson gives a 15 minute recess, but asks council to approach.

"While I don't think the levels in Martin's blood as indicated by a sample taken hours after his death, can explain why Martin attacked Zimmerman, the results may be admissible for another reason. The state introduced Zimmerman's non-emergency call to police into evidence. Zimmerman tells the dispatcher on the call that that Martin seemed like he was on drugs or something. The state has made Zimmerman’s intent the central point of its case on second degree murder. It claims Zimmerman reported Martin as suspicious because he was profiling him as a criminal based on his looks, not his actions, and that this is evidence of his ill-will, hatred and spite"
