By "small amount of time", you mean the entire time from the end of Zimmerman's NEN call recording until the beginning of the first 911 call recording - in other words, the entire relevant time frame. No amount of evidence suppression can possibly provide that which does not exist: any evidence whatsoever that Zimmerman was the initial physical aggressor, that Zimmerman was doing anything otherwise unlawful, or that Zimmerman was not justified in using deadly force in self-defense.

In a fair trial, this entire case still boils down to the defense presenting the ample evidence to corroborate a self-defense claim, and the State having zilch to refute that claim. In a fair trial, none of the State's specious allegations, innuendo, speculation, or theoretical timeline of events would be admissible, since no evidence exists to support any of it. In a fair trial, after the State presents its case, the defense would move to acquit due to lack of evidence to convict, and the judge would grant it, with extreme prejudice.

Which of Judge Nelson's rulings thus far has led you to believe that she is capable of making fair decisions based on relevant case law in this case? Seems she will rule however CRS drafts the ruling for her to me, and they to this point seem quite unconcerned with whether or not the rulings are fair, or legal.

I may be wrong, but if the opening of the door is blatant enough, she might just rule properly. Cameras are on her too.

I am stunned that Don West would make the mistake he did about the jury being sequestered. What on earth was he thinking?

I thought she was going to hear the rest of the SA evidence on Friday?

Nelson might rule properly, and I might get a royal flush.

What could be the reason they won't take the jury to the site? Only video? Why?
I think it's best for them to see - what is. No?

Zimmerman’s team put an outside lawyer on the stand, Wesley White, who testified that photos from Martin’s cellphone were never shared with them. White, who resigned as a state prosecutor in December and is now in private practice, represents the state attorney’s office’s information-technology director, Ben Kruidbos, who will be called to testify June 6 about the allegedly withheld images.
White told NBC News that Kruidbos was placed on administrative leave Tuesday and considers himself a “whistleblower” under Florida law. Kruidbos was grilled by staff in the state attorney’s office twice, either to learn what he planned to testify about or possibly to “bully him,” White told NBC.
