3:25 p.m.
West says he understands she is married to the first responding officer for the scene.

She says that is correct.

West asks about the measuring of the scene and if he can ask about distances between objects.

He asks how far it was from marker one to marker six.

She says she cannot say that. She says the FDLE personnel that did the Total Station would be able to.

West asks if she took measurements and recorded them in a report.

She says yes.

West says one of the exhibits “seemed like it was drawings.” He hands her exhibit 168 and asks if it was her drawing.

She says yes.

West says it is no help at all, while referring to the Total Station data.

West finds some evidence and returns to the podium.

“You had a hands-on of view of the actual evidence,” West asks. “That is correct,” she answers. She says she witnessed that the keychain flashlight was on.

She says she had no reason to believe any of the evidence was tampered with or handled before she got there.

“So law enforcement took charge of the scene right away,” West asks. “That is correct,” she answers.

Smith says she can’t remember if she photographed Martin’s body before or while the medical examiner’s investigator was there.

West asks about the search for blood.

She says she doesn’t believe anyone pointed out any specific areas to look.

She says she and several officers on the scene did an exhaustive search for blood.

She says West is correct that no chemicals were used to test for blood.

I'm baaaack! I wonder if West will go into gun oils while addressing the DNA not present on the gun.

3:45 p.m.
West asks about the photographs taken of Zimmerman.

He points out the lumps and abrasions in each one and asks if Smith saw them as she took the photos.

She answers “yes” to each question.

West finishes questioning.

Guy resumes.

3:38 p.m.
She says she never opened a bag that contained Martin’s clothing.

West asks the court if the pants are identified as an exhibit.

West shows Smith the pants belonging to Martin. They are flattened out in a large, see-through, evidence frame.

West says he’d like to talk about the forensic swabbing.

West asks if just the swab is sent to a lab for processing. “Yes it is,” Smith answers.

He asks if the item being tested is also sent to a lab. It isn’t, Smith says.

West asks if there is a way to tell where the swabbing took place on the item. Smith says no.

Smith says the purpose of the swab for the skittles and flashlight was for Touch DNA.

West asks about the swabs for the firearm.

He asks about the procedure for using a swab.

West asks Smith to describe further the Touch DNA. It is skin cells left behind.

West asks if skin cells could be wiped off.

Smith says it’s possible.

West asks about the firearm being provided to Smith.

He moves on to photographs taken of Zimmerman at the police department.

She says they would have been taken some time after 11:15 p.m.

I guess that was lots & lots of evidence introduction.

3:54 p.m.
Guy asks why she doesn’t go through the victim’s pockets. She says she needs consent from the medical examiner’s office.

Guy shows a photo of Martin’s body with the photo button on his sweatshirt.

Smith says when she collected items from the medical examiner’s office, it included Martin’s clothes.

Guy shows the court a large exhibit with Martin’s hooded sweatshirt suspended in a large see-through frame. Smith identifies it.

Guy shows the court the shirt Martin was wearing, also in a large see-through frame. Smith identifies it.

Smith takes her seat back in the witness stand.

Guy asks her about the time she took photographs of Zimmerman.

Guy asks who assisted her in looking for blood.

She says officers on scene helped, using flashlights.

The defense objects due to hearsay.

Smith says she was not notified of other blood at the scene.

Guy hands her the plastic bags.

She says the discoloration is from being checked for latent prints.

Guy finishes questioning.

Smith is excused.

She heard/saw Trayvon running south to north to intercept GZ before he could get back to his truck

Selene just signed this petition on Change.org. (Facebook post March 20, 2012)

What's with this Smith lady now? She won't look at West but stares over to the left side of the court room with a nasty look on her face radiating dislike. This attitude won't help the prosecution cause.
Just a though. Here is George accused of being a racist yet living among so many black people. Don West is so impressive. Like "law enforcement took over the scene right away". In fact, your husband to be precise, Ms Smith.
Ah, Ms Smith like Chad has an amnesia problem too.

At best. Sounds like she made it up recently in MOM's opinion, and maybe according to all prior statements.

What concerns me is that O'Mara might be screwing up here, I do think she has added stuff to her testimony but I *know* I've heard her talk about movement left to right before.

4:20 p.m.
De la Rionda shows her a night time crime scene photo. She says she cannot see her house.

He continues showing crime scene photos. She is able to identify her home in one.

De la Rionda shows a day time photo of the scene and Bahadoor is able to identify her home and where she heard the initial noise.

He shows her a diagram of the crime scene and points out where she would have heard the noise.

De la Rionda says he’d like to ask about 2011 and if she had seen Zimmerman before.

He asks if she knew him as a crime watch individual. She says yes.

She says he was handing out fliers and introduced himself as a neighborhood watch person.

O’Mara asks for a moment to get ready for cross-examination.

4:13 p.m.
Bahadoor says she was home with her sister, niece and niece’s friend.

Bahadoor says she was in the kitchen around 7:10 p.m., downstairs in the rear of the home.

She says there is a window in the kitchen.

Bahadoor says it was raining and dark.

“At some point did you hear a noise outside?” De la Rionda asks. “Yes,” she says.

She says the noise sounded like “no” or and “ooooo” sound.

She says she though she heard running from left to right.

“I looked out the window, but I couldn’t see anything,” she says, adding that she had an obstructed view.

She says she moved from the kitchen to the sliding glass doors.

“I saw what looked as figures and arms flaying,” she describes seeing out the glass door.

She says they were in a standing position.

De la Rionda asks if she could identify the individuals involved, but she says it was too dark.

She estimates it took her about 15 seconds to move from the kitchen to the glass door.

She says she looked on for 15 to 20 seconds and went back to the stove to turn it off.

“When I saw them, they looked like they were on the pathway,” Bahadoor says.

She says she went back to the glass door and someone was lying in the grass.

She says two other people were also looking out. One was across from her home, and the other was right next to the home across from her’s. She says that person was out on the porch.

She says the other person asked if he should call the cops.

“I just remember them standing,” Bahadoor says.

She says it probably took her less than 15 seconds to turn the stove off.

When she looked outside the second time she says she saw a body in the grass. She says it was facedown.

“When I went to take the stove off, that’s when the shot occurred,” Bahadoor says.

She says when she saw the body, she went upstairs with the dog and told her sister she thought someone had been shot.

She says when she went back downstairs she saw flashlights outside.

De la Rionda shows Bahadoor aerial photographs of the complex.
