Wait, LE needed a search warrant to get onto the property? That just does NOT sound right... Sigh.

LOL.. that's so true! Never even thought of that..

I didn't know the sequestration rule was so vague!! Definitely leaves it wide open...

West just said it was their error :waitasec: We shall see....

The defense counsel's responsibility should have been to tell Donnelly about the Sequestration... So I think they need to eat this. JMO

NM she DID say the witness wasn't called... So not sure!

SOOOOOO True!!! Just nice to know that in this great country we can all have them and voice them!! Sites like WS provide for that thankfully :)

Are "Jury instructions" standard? for each trial?

I think the prosecution withholding evidence was totally WRONG. I was not happy with the prosecution in this case at all. But, I think Judge Nelson has been fair. She is no nonsense and I like that.

I'm not trying to be difficult and I'm not saying you're incorrect.. but if you have any proof of this (a link, etc) I would love to see/read it. This knowledge.. if true TOTALLY changes every belief I had in our justice system.. Thanks in advance!

If your information about juries and credible witnesses is correct.. I would totally NOT find this ME's testimony credible if I was a juror!! MOO

Wow.. THIS is an excellent point!

OT: I NEVER want to be a witness at a trial!! These people get beat up SO badly!! ;)

OMG.. what did I miss? I'm trying to catch up on HLN...

Yes, but your comment that led up to this was that you thought it was GZ saying get off and not TM.. if the Jury (or a Juror) made this conclusion even after the witness testified, they would be thrown off in a nanosecond! Or at least I'd hope so! IMO They are told to stick to the facts.. the...

IMHO.. I think that last witness was a tactical maneuver by the defense.. considering her skin color. Was she really necessary? Why was she the LAST witness? I could be wrong.. let me know what you think.

When GZ first saw him looking around and described him as "on drugs" he may have been lost and then got his bearings.. All just my speculation, of course.

Zimmerman Reenactment.mpeg - YouTube After re-watching the reenactment, I remember my first thought when watching was that the poor kid was lost!! I lived in a huge gated community where every home looked exactly the same and on a dark Florida night.. it would be so hard to discern what street...
