9:28 a.m.
O’Mara mentions the motion for certain terms said in court.

Prosecutor John Guy addresses the court. He says they are being asked to prohibit the use of the word “profiled.”

Guy says there are a number of ways a person can be profiled. He says the state doesn’t intend to say they will claim Martin was solely racially profiled.

Guy mentions the words “self-appointed” and “neighborhood watch.” Guy says that Zimmerman did initiate the program.

“He got out of the car after the police told him not to.” Another statement in the motion.

Guy says it is factually incorrect.

Guy says “he confronted Trayvon Martin.” He says that’s a fact of the case.

O’Mara says opening statements are supposed to be an outline of evidence. O’Mara says there has been an absurdity in some cases in doing that. He says he is concerned the jury will be injected with a racial issue.

Judge Nelson says they are going to be giving an overview of what they are going to prove. She uses an example of “Do you remember in the opening the state said A, B and C?” and the defense can use it to their advantage.

She does say “racial profiling” probably shouldn’t be used.

O’Mara says he wants to be very cautious about bringing the jury information that won’t be in evidence.

O’Mara says if the state says Zimmerman got out of the car after being told not to, the jury will be given wrong information with no evidence to support it.

She asks the state to stay away from “racial profiling” She is not going to prohibit “vigilante.” The self-appointed watch captain.” They agree that’s not what happened,” she says about the state.

“’Wanna be cop,’ I think that is appropriate,” she says.

“’He confronted Trayvon Martin,’ that is the state’s case,” she says.

9:44 a.m.
Guy asks about the way the jury will be seated so they can be closer to the witness. He also asked about evidence stickers.

O’Mara asks if the tables will stay the way they are.

De la Rionda says he wants the opportunity to analyses two statements the defense that he says are self-serving statements by the defendant. De la

Rionda asks for the time to review it over the weekend.

West says it is De la Rionda’s motion to exclude the res gestae statements.

Judge Nelson says she can’t make a ruling in a vacuum and asks for the statements in writing. She says she is not prepared to do an order without a motion in writing. She says she has already granted a motion by the state.

West asks if he should file a pleading with the court. Judge Nelson says that would assist the court.

Judge Nelson says she will hear it at a later time. She says if West wants the Frye order today, she can’t spend time in court in the afternoon.

Judge Nelson says she is only asking for something in writing for her to review.

She asks for any other motions.

West offers to give emails or fax numbers. Judge Nelson says she is sorry to disclose on national TV that she doesn’t have a fax machine.

She asks for any other housekeeping matters.

O’Mara asks to approach. He says they have a bunch of depositions

Mantei says West was to file an exhibit for the Frye hearing.

Judge Nelson asks West if they are finished with the Frye hearing. West says he has a composite exhibit containing the curriculum vitaes of the experts, plus reports from two, Holeen and Hunchberger (spelling?), experts that did not testify in the hearing.

Judge Nelson asks West about the reports.

West responds. Judge Nelson says she is only going to consider what was part of the hearing.

West asks to mark the exhibit for the record. He wants to identify other items in the exhibit. West says some of it has already been submitted. West asks if Owens and Reich’s reports are in evidence. He says he will tender the composite to the court clerk.

West says the reference to the YouTube video of Owen explaining his procedure is on a C.D., plus a non-emergency call Zimmerman made, a call by witness 11, the recordings Owen used with the looped sample, and the exemplar Owen mentioned. He says various articles mentioned in the hearing are included.

West gives the documents to the clerk.

Judge Nelson says the court will consider testimony and evidence presented by both sides. She says she will not consider things not given in open court.
