Zimmerman trial begins, right on schedule (link inside) (attorney, money, state)

Hmmm. She said a THREE PART exchange.

1. Trayvon: What are you following me for?

2. George: What are you doing here?

3. Trayvon: ?????????????????

Interesting.

What on earth?

Nobody has ever disputed the grass.

Trayvon had grass stains on his knees (pants).

George had grass stains on his back.

Seems simple enough to figure out.

Jenna is a great witness. She's lucid. She's intelligent. She has no bias.

After that Precious snafu, I feel like I'm back amongst the civilized.

Ahhhhhhhhh, OMara is showing why George was looking for an address. There are no street signs and not all house numbers are visible from the street. Plus it was dark and raining.

Most Excellent!

Now all the Trayvonistas can shush about George not immediately knowing an address to give 911.

I get this feeling the defense wants her to say something that she's unwilling to say.

[Dale Cooper]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. OMara is freaking good!

Jenna said the screams were coming from someone who was being hurt and in a life-threatening situation.

Trayvon wasn't hurt (except for the hole in his heart).

And she says George was not a hothead.

Wrap this thing up. It's over!!!!!

The defense attorney seemed to think it was a pretty stupid comment when Rachel was saying that she heard "grass" noises...right after Trayvon's bluetooth got knocked off his chest, the phone was still connected to her phone for a bit. Maybe you didn't see that part.

I wouldn't call it over. I would say she's a beneficial witness to the defense though. That's just her opinion - one person's.

Who, Jenna? Not at all. He's preparing her for something stupid the pros. might ask. He's covering bases they might try to dust off and toss at her. That's exactly what a good defense attorney does.

An excellent, absolutely perfect cross.

EDIT: Never mind. I'm so sorry, southbel. I misread your post and in my head I thought defense.

Yes, you are correct. The pros is trying to trick her.

Please accept my apology for misreading your post.

Sorry - I edited. I wrote prosecution and meant to write defense. DUH!
