9:42 a.m.
O’Mara plays another portion of the interview consisting of the 911 call with screams in the background.

O’Mara asks about Zimmerman saying it didn’t sound like him. Serino reconfirms and says it didn’t change his investigation.

O’Mara asks about moving from the interrogation room to his desk to listen to the recording.

Serino says it was because there was no computer in the interrogation room.

O’Mara asks about Serino’s opinion that Zimmerman’s injuries appeared minor.

O’Mara asks if Zimmerman needed any injuries at all for him to look into the case. Serino says no.

O’Mara asks about the times Serino says Zimmerman. Serino says they had conversations over the phone after the initial three interviews.

Serino says he was cooperative in following conversations.

O’Mara asks if Serino met with Tracy Martin.

Serino says they met at his office and his residence.

De la Rionda objects that it is beyond the scope.

O’Mara asks for leeway to ask the chief investigating officer. He says he will call the witness for his case.

De la Rionda rises to redirect.

9:36 a.m.
O’Mara questions Serino further about “challenge interviews” and their purpose.

O’Mara mentions Serino telling Zimmerman he sounded frustrated in his non-emergency call.

Serino says he’s not certain of what the comment might’ve been and his tone used.

He agrees it could’ve been to challenge Zimmerman to “extract truth if he’s hiding it.”

“There were some variations of account,” Serino says, adding they weren’t challengeable to Zimmerman.

O’Mara plays a portion of the recorded interview also shown Monday.

It is the portion they listen to the 911 call with the screams in the background.

O'Mara asks about Zimmerman saying 'it doesn't even sound like me.'

O'Mara asks if Serino interpreted it as Zimmerman denying it was him.

Serino says it didn't change the direction of his interrogation or cause him concern.

9:29 a.m.
The jury is reseated. Judge Nelson checks with them to make sure they didn’t discuss the case, read reports or research it.

Judge Nelson has the court reporter read back a question and answer from Monday:

“The question was, 'so if we were to take pathological liar off the table, and the possibility for the purpose of this next question, do you think he was telling the truth?' The answer: ‘yes.’”

Judge Nelson says the jury is to disregard the question and answer.

O’Mara resumes questioning Chris Serino.

Opinions as law enforcement officer ok for state, not for defense. Even from Nelson, this is ridiculous.

Bernie trying to impeach his own witness again? This is getting to be a joke. He is mean questioning his own witness. The jury has to see this.

Thanks for the response earlier, Chip. I was catching up to what was going on this morning ...objection to the last question/answer of previous day.

Not sure why O'Mara didn't object when BDLR mis-characterized Zimmerman as saying that he moved Martin's arms straight out. Zimmerman never said straight out.

Is it possible that TM wasn't dead yet when Zimmerman put his arms out and so he pulled his arms under before he died?

Yes, Chip. If there is a conviction, the appellate challenge will be to stay within page limits listing all of the reversible error.
