smh @ could "no" be construed as denial....

what a SCRIPT!

So basically, they found a way to retract Martins original statement while trying to retain any credibility. I wish I was on that jury.

Zimmerman was prone to getting into fights---he had a domestic violence restraining order against him at one point, and had assaulted a police officer and resisted arrest (charges dropped if he completed anger management classes.)

Those facts are not allowed into the trial, so why would any evidence of a propensity for fighting in Trayvon's past if it even existed, be allowed? And there is no evidence of that anyway.

Bernie has Serino answer that GZ said, when questioned, the voice didn't sound like him.

Well, you are glad his MMA past isn't brought in. How biased is that. You want to win to such a degree, you don't care if an innocent man is taken down. Pitiful!

I hope this doesn't bring on a slew of experts who testify as to how people don't recognize their own voices.

Ah. Serino: "A lot of people don't recognize their own voices."

Serino saying his impression is that GZ didn't recognize his voice because that is typical of someone hearing themselves. He didn't take that as a denial.

There's so much stupid conjecture that they ask of the witnesses.

Why aren't they relying on actual documentation, like the pages of statements by the first investigator, and later Serino, in which they documented why there was probable cause to charge Zimmerman with manslaughter? I haven't seen any of that introduced into evidence.

Guess that one flew right over your head.

And please stop with the personal challenges. It's sickening and very old.
Do you have any link, or any other form of proof, that the Olympics Committee made a statement that they could find no record of her qualifying? Btw, I'm, like everybody else, responding to people posting on a public Internet political forum.

Both of their characters should be under the microscope here so that the jury can make a more informed opinion.
