Bombshell! When you pull the trigger on a gun, bullet will come out the barrel. WOW, I always thought it came out the handle!

Stupid leading questions, anger, badgering, general bullying, are all BDLR has. The state's entire case is an insult to one's intelligence, Trayborg™ who are devoid of intelligence, excepted, of course.

I bet those ladies on the jury really like MO. Cute, sweet, and knows how to testify in court. He looks at the ladies on the jury when speaking and is respectful.

I agree. He was a great witness; powerful, credible, detailed testimony.

Witness: Geri Russo - Worked with Zimmerman at Digital Risk

10:24 a.m.
Geri Russo takes the stand. She worked with Zimmerman at Digital Risk and considers him a friend. When she wasn't working there, she kept in touch with him. She did not know Shellie Zimmerman personally.

10:17 a.m.
De la Rionda asks if Zimmerman ever asked about the type of holster to get.

Osterman says no. De la Rionda asks about it being an internal type of holster.

“Even without a jacket it would be hard to see,” Osterman says.

He says you should aim center-mass.

De la Rionda asks if someone would holster their gun until the threat if over.

Osterman says if he believes the person is neutralized, he would put away his gun.

He says he would have a round in the chamber and a fully loaded magazine.

De la Rionda asks if there is a difference between police officers and an average citizen.

Osterman says he agrees.

Osterman says he doesn’t remember specifics of telling Zimmerman how to arrest or restrain someone.

De la Rionda asks about Zimmerman shooting left or right-handed.

Osterman says Zimmerman was better right-handed than left-handed, but could shoot and hit a target.

De la Rionda finishes questioning.

O’Mara redirects.

O’Mara asks if a gun for self-defense should be ready to fire.

“Always, I would recommend that,” Osterman says.

He says “topping off the magazine” is recommended because it is better to have it and not need it. He says he instructs his wife the same way.

What on earth was Bernie doing asking Mark Osterman about double-taps and multiple shots to neutralize a threat? All that does is show a lack of depraved mind, since Zimmerman only shot once.

No doubt he plans to twist this somehow -- GZ did it "wrong" etc.

Maybe to eliminate fear from George's mind at the moment he pulled the trigger?

Bingo. I bet you're correct.

Another witness not accepting state's mischaracterizations. Good.

Witness: Leanne Benjamin - Friend of Zimmerman

10:38 a.m.
The defense calls Leanne Benjamin. She has known Zimmerman since about 2002 and 2003. She owns and operates a local real-estate business and says she referred customers to him when he worked for an insurance agency.

I sense that the prosecution is going both directions, as if some jurors may go one way, the others another direction. The outcome seems more like reasonable doubt for Trayvon, versus any proof George is guilty. Maybe the limit of evidence the state has to work with forces them to hope that jurors may believe if Trayvon is not guilty, then George must be.
