Animation is OUT as evidence... can be used as demonstration.

Phone stuff is OUT.

Nelson reminding George he can testify.. his decision.

Thanks for the advice! I'm back in business!!!

Nelson to English translation: "GZ, you have the right to remain silent but if you want to go ahead and change your plea to guilty, then we can all go home."

Nelson's rulings:

1) Animation will not be entered into evidence. Can only be used as a demonstrative.
2) Text messages will not be admitted.

West is re-arguing.

Would be nice if MOM put the animation on YouTube.... why not?

So, the State can admit inadmissible information to imply that Zimmerman was "MMA trained", because it was part of the "theory" of the State's case - yet at the same time, the defense cannot admit evidence that Trayvon Martin was an experienced fighter, even though it is relevant and inherently admissible, and is part of the "theory" of their case?

Reversible error.

What worked?

Nelson should pray for a not guilty..... avoid all the appeals?

Is she putting Donnelly and Good possible violation of sequestration off until after trial?

I hope the defense greatly enlarges the animation since they can only use as a demonstrative aid.

9:15 a.m.
Judge Nelson says she has read the case law provided. She rules the state’s objection to the computer animation is sustained, but is can be used for a demonstration.

She says the state’s objection to the admissibility of the evidence from the phone is sustained.

Judge Nelson addresses Zimmerman and makes sure he has the right to remain silent. She tells him he also has the right to testify and he should discuss it with his attorneys.

West says the evidence code is not the only basis, but the constitutional right was also used.

Judge Nelson says the court made a previous ruling and it will stand.

She asks for the jury to be brought in.

8:59 a.m.
Judge Nelson is seated at the bench. The attorneys enter a sidebar.

A ruling on the admissibility of an animation recreation and Trayvon Martin's text messages is still expected

So when the defense asks again for the directed verdict at the end of their case, can they use the case where the DCA overturned Nelson as case law? I sure would mention it.

The only conceivable way that Zimmerman is convicted of anything is if the jury has been compromised.

Is it just me?
I can't get TCH to open?
Strange, after reading last night: what would you do if one day you tried to open TCH and got a blank?
