I was afk again; if I don't get dinner on the table soon, my family will report me to Corey.

From trial thread:

mbtb - animation can only be used as demonstrative aid in closing; not admitted as evidence the jury can review repeatedly in jury room.

realitycheck - do you have any info that the investigation may be about Crump, or just your own guess/logic? TIA

unitron - my understanding from others is that he was FDLE and arrested GZ when he was out with the buddy, underage drinking sweep, blah blah.

SheStone - I think the state is giving up on rebuttal. Yeah, they discussed maybe discussing it tomorrow, if I understood them, but I think it's over.

realitycheck - the jury does not get informed about sentences and if they otherwise know, are not to consider them in rendering verdict.

kbp - waiting for the smoking gun in closing!

What are the charges? I missed it. Too fast.

Full disclosure: this is the first trial I've followed this closely. I'm just relying on common sense to know that Nelson's behavior was utterly inappropriate.

O'Mara to Guy in Open Court, "May I play with your doll" ???

What are the charges? I missed it. Too fast.

just a guess about Crump .... that's scary that the Jury doesn't know a conviction on a "lesser charge" could send GZ to jail for decades !!!!

I heard Hornsbey point out a couple of weeks ago...

ANY prison time for George is most likely a DEATH sentence....

The BGI/Scheme Team/Persecution.... have assured he will be a target.

I wonder if Crump is on both witness lists. Maybe the judge is investigating him for improper procedures. She may send a complaint to the Florida Bar. Judges can do that.

MoM may have given that deposition to the judge to read.

All we know it is someone on both the State's and Defense's witness lists and was never called.

Sorry, I was cooking. I'll bet Rumpole or someone else will have it though. (Waiting on timer for muffins now.)

Zimmerman Defense Rests, Closing Statements Start Tomorrow

The defense team continued on what is expected to be the last day of their presentation of their case. The day began and ended with a bang. This morning Judge Nelson denied the defense’s request to introduce their animated movie as evidence, although they will be permitted to use it for demonstrative purposes during closing. Professor Jacobson covered this breaking news this morning here:

Breaking – Jury will not get to see Trayvon fighting texts

Then at the end of Court today the defense rested their case, and it was agreed that the State would present its closing argument tomorrow at 1PM, the defense would present their closing argument on Friday morning, followed by a State rebuttal. After that the jury should be instructed, and deliberations begun.

...

Are we sure?
