Is that testimony I missed? I had a meeting this afternoon. Did they call the ME that did the autopsy to the stand?
No. But you really do need to view the JAG guy. It's up on YouTube. It's hilarious.
When the defense started questioning him and asked him if he could identify George Zimmerman in the courtroom, he waved at George and said, "How ya doin', George?"

I saw his testimony. Thought it was interesting because it completely was turned around to the defense's benefit. While he was there to testify to SYG, the defense used it as an opportunity to basically give a class to the jurors on self-defense. Plus, his likability will certainly benefit him in the eyes of the jury. Extremely comfortable on the stand (as he should be as a prosecutor).
I don't have cable TV so I decided to watch TV in the community recreation hall where I live at around 5:30. I watched CNN, MSNBC and, yes, Fox News, for about an hour. The maintenance worker was taking a break and sat down near me. "He wouldn't be on trial if the kid was White," he said. "The kid shouldn't have been there and he got caught. If he wasn't breaking into houses, the NW guy wouldn't have shot him in the first place. I answered, "That's completely false. He was walking home from a convenient store." His response.. "That's what the Blacks want you to think."
A Neighborhood Watch Captain has one hell of a lot more authority than any city police officer, as has been demonstrated so far.
His history is hidden because he was a juvenile. Really, all that's out there is his facebook and tweets kind of stuff.
Plus he's not the one on trial.
I agree with you, though.
I always wonder about that contention. If the defense is claiming self-defense and the prosecution is allowed to bring into question Zimmerman's past actions, then why not the past actions of the person the defense is claiming to have attacked Zimmerman? What I mean is why would one person's behaviors be an indicator of possible motive that night but not the other?
Multiple suspensions doesn't look good on a college application. Plus, he can't get student loans with a drug possession. And just because you go to college doesn't mean you give up the kind of lifestyle he was apparently following.
I don't recall my kids being asked about a history of suspensions when they applied to college.Trayvon was not charged with drug posession.
Do you really think that Trayvon was intending to kill Zimmerman, simply for following him?
Like to fight? Where's the proof of that? Trayvon had absolutely no history of violent crime, or any history of beating people up, or anything like that. He had no school suspensions for fighting. He's was a college-bound student preparing for the SATs and checking out colleges. The view you have of him is Zimmerman's view, not reality.
If we do get into TM's history, it could be proved he could be prone to violence. It certainly doesn't help his image. I hope they get to use it. Only because I am tired of the distorted image of a sweet little boy.
On his Twitter account - "Plzz shoot da "mf dat lied 2 u!"

I recall Senator Rand Paul saying that if the past three presidents had been "caught", their careers would have been over for the rest of their lives. TM just didn't get caught. Unless, that is being covered up as well.

O'Mara has stated that he has arrows in his quiver that he will use if necessary, but he hopes he doesn't have to. He is only going to go as far as the Prosecution takes it.

The defense also has texts from TM's phone that speak of his mother kicking him out of the house, the police catching him skipping school, drug use, purchasing a gun, etc.
