Trial thread closed before I posted, so bringing this over to answer MBTB:

She's been so thoroughly discredited now, it may not help defense. However, MOM got her to admit that it could have been as described by John, one on top of the other. She adds to his expected testimony that the arms were flailing sort of windmill style, which backs up GZ's statements. TM™ had no injuries prior to gunshot, plus witnesses saw TM™ on top, so she actually added the beat-down part that John slightly backed away from.

Do you think that Sybrina is "re-thinking" getting on the stand and testifying that those screams of "HELP" were made by Treyvon?

I don't agree. I am so glad O'Mara discredited this witness. To say two people were running left to right and their arms were flailing about like fighting in a standing position is very detrimental to GZ. HLN is already scrawling letters across the bottom of the screen asking if GZ lied to police because of her. This woman LIED!!

I'm glad O'Mara always googles witnesses and potential jurors.

Darn I watched the wrong trial again. World News Tonight with Brian Williams is reporting a good day for the prosecution. They played a portion of George's reenactment where he says He stretched out TM's hands, followed by clip of the cop who did CPR saying hands were under the body. Also, played NEN call, minus the OK, followed by NW representative saying about not following. NO mention of W1, not one thing positive said about George. Local news (central Florida) talking about the heart wrenching photos of the body. While I appreciate how difficult this might be for the parents, the pictures weren't all that terrible.

my only worry is.... the usual in cases.... what seems obvious to us MAY NOT be obvious to a jury. As you cite.. HLN and others can look at the same testimony and see it entirely differently.

SANFORD, FL—As the trial of former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman entered its second day this morning, defense attorney Don West reportedly opened his team’s remarks with an extended comic impression of Trayvon Martin, the deceased teen whom his client is accused of murdering in a fatal shooting altercation last year. “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I’d like you to imagine for a moment that it’s a dark night in Sanford, and my client sees an imposing stranger in an oversized hooded sweatshirt coming towards him—it might go a little something like this,” West said before turning his back to the jury, pulling on a hoodie, grabbing a bag of Skittles and spinning back around to face the court. “Yo, my name’s Trayvon, and I’m here to say/Suckers mess with me, I will make them pay.” West reportedly concluded his impression with a nearly 10-minute-long freestyle rap, which sources said received no visible reaction from the jury.

Of course what will be needed to hammer everything home is a GREAT closing argument.... MOM's finest hour?... or a disaster?

The system is such that STATE get the last word.. so MOM has to really score so well with the jury that BDLR, can not snuff out the flames that MOM ignites.
