What is the basis for your assertion that Rachel would not be allowed by Judge Nelson to testify on rebuttal for the State? If the Defense plans to call Rachel to bring up TM's reputation for fighting or anything else, at this point I agree the Judge will not allow it.
Actually, The Judge did tell Rachel she was still under oath as she left the stand....She could be called again.
Re-listening....George did give the address. So, why the hurrying across to get an address? And, Geroge doesn't want to give his own address....because he was still following...rather than going back to his truck.
Defense will be hurt by replying this tape over, & over.

My opinion is that Rachel was not released because teh State may recall her on rebuttal.
If the Defense calls Rachel, they cannot go into Trayvon's reputation for fighting or anything else unless the Judge rules that the prosecution via some witness put Trayvon's character in issue. I haven't heard that yet, but won't know for sure until there is some sort of new ruling by the Court that reputation/character evidence can be brought out by Defense. Have you heard any new ruling by the Court regarding the admissibility of evidence of Martin's reputation/character? I may have missed that ruling, as I've not watched the entire trial so far.
Did Rachel mention Trayvon fighting during the direct examination of her by the State? I don't remember.
Are they making this guy their gun expert? His gun didn't have an exterior safety. So, one in the chamber, locked and loaded, makes George seem radical imo...I think both of these witnesses will hurt George.
Wow....previous discussion of how to shot someone in a tussle. And, connecting George repeatedly to law enforcement....
