Did she just quote a TV show? Is that a reality show? First 48 is a tv show following how police investigate crime, usually murder, and the point is that if they don't get a significant lead within the first 48 hours, their chances of solving the crime go way down. Kind of a reality show, but like COPS only geared toward detectives investigating crime, investigation people, instead of patrol officers as COPS does. At least it isn't Law and Order. I like Law and Order.  Edit: it's weirding me out a bit that she knows dates and days so good, i can hardly remember what date it was 4 days ago, let alone the weekday or what happened then.
I doubt important witness ever go into the stand without at least a little bit of practice on what they are going to say, specially things such as dates that can be really confusing.
And I do like Law and Order, I meant that she at least quoted a show based on reality.

They need to take her off the stand. This is getting worst and worst. The best part is still coming. He hasn't even busted out prior statements yet.

If I was watching this in a drama I'd dismiss it for being unrealistic.

Well that wasn't funny. This is, though.

I don't think it's that simple to prove she is intentionally lying to the court. It's very easy for it to look that way, but sometimes people are just wrong and even their memories can be tricky.

She could be charged with perjury. That being said most states won't bother to pursue a perjury charge. Even in the Casey Anthony trial when Casey Anthony's mom lied on the stand to protect her daughter (Casey Anthony was famously acquitted), and was later revealed to be lying under oath in later testimony, the state didn't bother charging her.

Martin's parents are allowed to display their emotions in court for everyone to see. Zimmerman's parents are not allowed in until they've testified. But Martin's parents are also witnesses but are allowed in. Doesn't seem fair to me. Did I get something wrong or is there some rationale for this?

The rule regarding witness sequestration has special exceptions for the parents of victims.

Florida law allows the victim's parents despite being witnesses.

Supreme Court says that's the way it is.

Nice question by the Defense: "You assisted them because you wanted to do what you could do to ensure that Mr. Zimmerman got arrested."
|
did she just admit to trying to get Zimmerman arrested?
/facepalm
|
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this witness didn't only perjure herself, she admitted under oath to having perjured herself.

How much weight does this statement actually have, seeing that she can't even follow what is asked?
edit: serious question
