That's not remotely close enough. They'll eat a directed verdict on the second degree murder charge if that's all they have.
You think from this Judge ?

It was inconsistent. Before the objection she claimed the bigger person was on top. But after when he re-asked it, with her annoyed voice she made a statement along the lines of "I couldn't really tell their sizes, I didn't care about their sizes or male or female. But after seeing the news, I can say the bigger person was on top".
If you can rewatch it, do it. I wish I had the exact statement she made. But she straight out said she didn't pay ANY attention to their weights or size at that time. Because of that, she has no position to say whether or not the bigger man was on top, which isn't even the case! So it just goes to show even more that she doesn't know what happened.

Wouldn't know how to rewatch it, don't know if they have a VOD or something (even though on the stream it says "977:24:23" as a time). It's also not important enough, i think the defense will catch up on it, that should clarify. If they don't (what i don't believe), i can still search for a VOD or transcript.

I don't know. This judge seems to favor the state a bit.

I am doing very bad at typing today. I just meant to say are they making a move to impeach her. Not a legal sense of the word "motioning".

"I saw his face" "Just like on the news"
"I didn't see his face" "Just the side of his face"
Well What the fuck was it. Like I said, she goes back and forth on what she actually saw. This is a joke.

It's actually frightening to see the number of people who are willing to get up on the stand with an axe to grind and make up things they never saw.

In general eye-witness memory is unreliable, and there is a looming question of whether or not courts should allow it. Modern psychology, especially Loftus and Palmer have taught us that memory is not accurate at all in most cases, and is a restructuring of schematic details rather than actual events.

Judging Trayvon's size based on a picture of his face in a hoodie on the news. Priceless eye-witness testimony.
edit: Testimony becomes "maybe I was wrong".
edit2: Now I completely understand why MSNBC was showing those baby pictures. It was to help this witness remember who was bigger and who was on top. It all makes sense to me now.

They will never get rid of eyewitness testimony. There's no replacement for it absent an omniscient surveillance system. It is considered to be reliable enough because cross examination exists as a check. What is going on right now is the system working as it is meant to.

This isn't bad memory. She's maliciously lying.
Notice how she knows what the defense is getting at and is trying to dodge the fact that she saw Trayvon's child photos? There's no way she only saw the hoodie face photo. And now she admits seeing the football photo but still won't admit seeing the hollister photo.
She's deliberately lying.

The sad fact is that tonight there will be talking heads (who support Justice for Trayvon) insisting that this witness was a credible witness.

Funny stuff. She is being picked apart just like the last witness. I just don't understand why these people were willing to make stories up to fill in gaps they KNOW they didn't see or have knowledge of.

They did the same thing yesterday with the witness that got completely demolished, two of them thought that her testimony went just fine. Hilarious.

I wonder if this whole thing isn't entirely to quell violence by the Justice for Trayvon crowd. Not prosecuting would bring outrage, so they prosecute and show the world the incredible bullshit case they had and why they weren't going to prosecute in the first place.
