Well, the judge has to instruct the jury, which will take the better part of an hour. Also, the state has the opportunity to present rebuttal evidence once the defense rests. I don't see the jury getting the case until tomorrow evening at the earliest. | ||

I missed the earlier days of the trial so I didn't know that, thanks. ya, it would be a terrible idea lol. Defense asking for charges to be dismissed huh? I doubt it'll happen. | ||

Judge: Motion denied. Bring in the jury. Hence my objection to both the prosecution and the judge. Prosecution should not "cast doubt on the defense". That is the job of the defense, to cast doubt. The trial is a farce, continuing it is continuing a farce. | ||

I would have though that the characterization of Zimmerman being a wannabe cop, that thought he had the authority or ability to take matters into his own hands, would have been the strongest and most consistent argument. But it doesn't sound like that's their argument ... | ||
