What would you expect from a witness that looks like "Precious".

Wrong. She said the man was close behind following Trayvon. She didn't say that Trayvon confronted George. She repeatedly corrected West when he kept trying to trick her in his line of questioning...Trayvon did not confront George.

That is hilarious. Can she be any angrier?

Actually West asked if Trayvon confronted Zimmerman first, asking I why Zimmerman was following him.

West used the word confront- in relation to Trayvon's actions, and RJ answered yes.

He's holding up very well. Not showing a lick of emotion. It would be hard to sit there with no facial expression.

He is asleep most of the time. That is why he isn't showing emotion. If not asleep trying to stay awake.

I see...You are saying that George getting right up to Trayvon, even after Trayvon was walking home....after running from the area...thinking he'd lost the stalker....asking George Why you following me...as confrontation? K....
And I see stalking someone, up to the point where you are following right behind them as confrontation. Got it. Different views.
Different opinions are what makes this thread interesting. I am watching the trial, word for word...

I watched the trial for the first time this AM on HLN and will forever regret losing that portion of my remaining lifetime.

Were that witness classed as anything other than "developmentally challenged" within your school system, you are doomed!

"Da cops onny had ma fake name." Cripes! "Yaaasir." "Yaaasir."

We're going to need a separate trial for the murder of the English language.

That's a very unkind statement. What she looks like has absolutely nothing to do with the case. This is not America's Next Top Model, it's a murder trial.

"Precious" was not even there. She was on the phone is border-line mentally challenged. Zimmerman was returning to his truck after walking to the cross street to get the name to relay to the police on where to find him. Trayvon walked up behind him and started the confrontation.
