Nah. I've been in court at MIDNIGHT more than once. Also in those late-night depos because you must have the information/testimony the next morning for Court. Late nights are not a basis for appeals. LOL That kind of work schedule is part of the reason defense attorneys and some court personnel make a lot of money.
Just adds more fuel to the fire. I got your point.

I was discussing that last night w/the wife. They surly have axe to grind here. I'm very well aware that they are like politicians, in that they fight with each other all day, then go and have cocktails after hours.
But this is something way different. Seems more personal. Good old Boy network aside.
Never heard of that one before. Please enlighten me. You mean the witnesses have been locked up all this time?
The Rule of Sequestration for witnesses means that after the Rule is invoked, they cannot be in the courtroom during the testimony of other witnesses, it means they cannot talk to anyone about their testimony, including the attorneys, and they are not allowed to discuss their testimony with others/anyone when court is in recess.
The Rule of Sequestration is common, it is usually invoked in every criminal trial at the start of the case, before any witnesses testify. However, after a witness testifies and excused (NOT subject to recall) they can come back into the courtroom and listen if they want. If they are excused "subject to recall" they are still under sequestration and cannot come back in the courtroom and are NOT allowed to talk to anybody about their testimony, including the attorneys.
Soooooo, that means that the animation guy was on the witness list for the Defense, and at the very start of the trial, day one, the Rule of Seq. was invoked, so all the witnesses listed by both sides had to leave the court room, other than the victim's family, and the Court instructed them all that stuff I said above. AMAZING that the Defense was arguing that the animation expert had been consulting with them during the trial and evidence via testimony changed regarding where different witnesses were located!! I'm stunned that they totally "forgot" that.
Really? Not me, only people suffering from paranoia think the way you do.
You're full of it, you know damn well what he said is right and every single one of us, including perfect people like yourself profile people every day for various reasons. All the way down to which checkout line you jump in at the grocery store, you profile people for various reasons. It's human nature and there's nothing wrong with it.
For those questioning the injuries on TM's knuckle

Such a lack of knuckle injuries would be odd if Trayvon had been throwing regular punches, but is entirely consistent with the use of “hammer fists,” a kind of blow often thrown from the “MMA-style” position that eyewitness John Good noted from just 17 feet away.
Tomorrow the judge will also rule on the other witness sequester violation - John Donnelly sitting in the front row right behind Zimmerman for at least 2 days.
