Just my opinion.

Not to mention there is no way, period, of determining injuries inside George's head without proper Xray or similar equipment.

I blew her off entirely and dozed off. I'll watch the YouTube of her testimony later if I get a sudden urge for stupid.

My guess is there are many incidents of people dying from head injuries with nary a scratch on the outside.
How come you didn't say that when O'Mara was doing the same thing with the PA?

Ok. Makes sense for the friend now.

Any idea about the other ME? Why they called her?

Just because you touch something doesn't mean you are going to leave DNA behind. Maybe it happens that way on tv crime shows but not in real life. Everytime you touch some you don't leave DNA behind. That's not how it works.

I didn't notice that. Why do you say that?

Maybe a med pro here can tell us at what length the cut has to be to require stitches.

I know that my first back surgery they only used the butterfly bandage and superglue and the incision is close to two inches.
Depends on where the cut is. In general, if the wound has gaping edges or is very deep, the dr will stitch. Sometimes they glue. I've seen them stitch some pretty little cuts in kids, esp on the face, chin, etc.

I personally thought the prosecution took it today.
Ah, yes, I think I see the problem.

I like wildabouttrial online because there is ZERO commentary. ZERO ads, ZERO except for the trial, period. No babbling fools to tell people what they just saw.

They also asked 4 separate times for extensions based on the evidence withholding and the judge said it wasn't "insurmountable." The prosecution dumped 1,000 pages of withheld evidence on the defense on June 4th, one week before trial, and the judge didn't see a problem with that.
Given the shenanigans, the prosecution should be kicking butt, but it's hard to overcome a case where all of the evidence is on the side of the defense.
I agree. It's underlying, but it's there. She has a snippy attitude toward the defense.

Did you happen to see that Hannity show? What did Zimmerman say about SYG?

I think he was trying to reach for his gun the whole time. He didn't even try less lethal ways of defending himself. The evidence supports this because Trayvon had no bruises or injuries on him.
