3:56 p.m.
O’Mara takes a moment to confer with West and Zimmerman.

He asks about Lauer’s husband, Jeremy.

She says she guess’s his instinct was to get the first weapon he could find and go out the front door to investigate.

She says her husband never found a knife because he doesn’t know where they are. The courtroom laughs.

Lauer says if he had found one, it was around the time the gun went off.

“I’m not going to go look where the gun just went off,” she says.

De la Rionda re-directs.


3:53 p.m.
O’Mara shows an aerial photo of the complex and asks her about the nearby complex.

He asks her about problems with open areas and the homeowner’s association.

She confirms the HOA put of gates.

Her husband’s truck is visible in the aerial view of the photo.

O’Mara asks if a street sign is nearby.

She says no.

Lauer says the house numbers can’t be seen from every angle.

O’Mara asks her about the sidewalk and if it is hard cement. She says yes.

She says she can’t tell whose voice it was that was screaming.

O’Mara asks if she considers them to be life-threatening screams. She says yes.

He asks if they were the screams of someone being beat up. She says they were “being hurt somehow.”

O’Mara holds up the police photo of Zimmerman with blood on his face and asks if they would be the screams of someone having “this” done to them.

She says his involvement with neighborhood watch was appropriate and to help the community.

3:46 p.m.
O’Mara asks her if she felt drained afterward, she says it was a mix of emotions.

She says she’s not sure who the person was talking to when they said ‘take my gun.’

Lauer says she took it as a statement to the police.

“I would’ve been more concerned if they had just run off,” she says.

O’Mara asks if an officer came up to her and asked her to identify the shooter.

She says they approached an officer roping off the scene.

Lauer said she didn’t want to go over and let the person see her, so she asked for a picture to be brought over.

O’Mara shows the picture.

She said she didn’t know who it was and didn’t recognize him.

I'm a little confused. Why is it that none of these witnesses mention seeing/hearing the young boy who was trying to catch his dog? Since he saw Mr. Zimmerman on the ground, it had to be in the same time frame.

4:00 p.m.
He asks about the un-gated area and if it was used by residents and non-residents.

She says she doesn’t know, but would guess both use it.

She confirms she could not make out who the two people were.

She says she can only tell what she heard in response to De la Rionda’s question about the struggle starting before the t-intersection of the walkway.

De la Rionda asks if kids play on the walkway. She says everyone uses it.

She confirms she doesn’t know who was being attacked.

De la Rionda says he has a matter he would like to proffer.

The attorneys enter a sidebar.






Bernie has a matter to proffer


DRINK

Again...

That is a term I use only to explain the sound you hear when a dog is in pain or fear. I guess it is used differently by others.

They are EAR witnesses.. for main part... boy/dog not saying anything

NOBODY has mentioed a cockatoo noise... maybe Ludwig at JQ was mistaken?

Was he further from the Tee, going in the direction of Brandi's home? I can't answer this question.

Was the boy calling his dog, or was the dog barking?

I take the description as the sound you might get with someone trying to scream help with some thug covering your mouth

Are you frigging kidding me? Nelson is letting in irrelevant character/reputation evidence in re: the restraining order?

More reversible error.

Too funny on the cockatoo noise. Do you have a video about that? LOL

Isn't the door being opened for Trayvon's past?

The jury isn't there now Chip.

Bernie REALLY desperate... asking about RZJr tweets


He really is taking instructions from Bigboi and the dog pack

I don't know. I always thought that he may have been the one some of these people saw moving from left to right.

Is Bernie looking for his own Facebook/Twitter moment to discredit his witness, sort of even the score?

did Bernie go to law school?

He is desperately clutching at anything... to discredit and impeach HIS OWN WITNESS!!!!!!

WOW did BDLR eat that one.

Jenna Lauer DOES follow RZjr:

https://twitter.com/jenna_lauer/following

Maybe I should follow her, and give Bernie an aneurysm?

4:09 p.m.
De la Rionda asks Lauer if she ever saw Zimmerman upset.

He asks if she ever knew Zimmerman had a restraining order against him from a woman “he had beat up.”

O’Mara objects that it is a misrepresentation.

He asks if Lauer is aware a woman got a restraining order against him for how he treated her.

She asks if she was aware in 2012.

He restates the question.

She says she is aware of it now.

De la Rionda asks if she is aware of the restraining order for violence against his girlfriend. She says yes.

He asks about the arrest for battery on a law enforcement.

She says she heard it on the news.

De la Rionda was

O’Mara asks to respond.

He asks if she was aware Zimmerman had a restraining order against her.

She says yes, but wasn’t aware it was dismissed.

He asks if she was aware the charges was a misdemeanor and dismissed later after a pre-trial diversion program.

She says no.

De la Rionda asks to be able to provide case law to the court and asks that Lauer be available for recall.

He has another matter to proffer.

He asks if she has ever followed Zimmerman's brother on Twitter or responded to one of his tweets.

She says no, and she doesn't remember.

Judge Nelson asks the attorneys to approach for a sidebar.

4:04 p.m.
The jury is excused from the courtroom.
