You are not missing any testimony. there was a brief recess called in this courtroom. i emphasize brief. theres one issue that has yet to be resolved in this case. that is will or wont george zimmerman take the stand in his own defense in his second degree murder case. hes got, oh, i dont know. about eight more minutes left to make that decision. if he hasnt already. heres the question. dont they make that decision early on? or do they truly wait until the very end to determine if a tft should t...

The location of mr. zimmermans little small flashlight, anything else like that. focus for now just on the 40 seconds of screaming and the injuries. with that set of circumstances, would you change your opinion at all about mr. zimmermans lack of options? >> no, i would not. >> would your opinion be the same even if there was a two-minute delay between the ending of mr. zimmermans phone call and the event that happened which caused those injuries? >> no. that would be irrelevant to me. >> what a...

>> thank you. >> they had a third. >> they didnt know if they were going to call that person or not. >> i have to ascertain his availability or not. >> when you find out tonight could you e-mail the defense and let them know so they can be prepare zb prepared. >> i know the state knows this is not a rekpp examination of him, but just a rebuttal to some particular fact we presented in this case. >> if its not, you can object and ill rule sfwl yes, your nor. >> are we ready to bring the jury in? >...

The state has certainly submitted sufficient evidence and will again continue to do so in rebuttal to indicate that both the facts and the inferences that can be drawn therefrom would support a jury verdict as to both murder and the lesser included manslaughter. >> i would just ask that either the state or perhaps the court, if youre going to rule, identify the states factual scenario, their theory of the case, anything for which there is -- that excludes a reasonable hypothesis of innocence of ...

Then george zimmerman, who was in some type of training. he have wasnt a couch potato. >> we know in this case theres a subtext of racism no matter what. jurors may or may not fall into that. i think its better, though, to look at how illogical and dis disinagain use it appears to be. >> and the jury has seen video of him. its not as if theres a picture that exists that shows the fitness of george zimmerman. he looks fit. >> i think one of the problems you want to make sure is the jurors dont ge...

The totality of the evidence as ive learned it throughout my exploration of this case. >> which includes your perceptions or his perceptions as he told them to you, right? didnt you say the defendants perception is important? >> the perception of an individual involved in any conflict is what you have to take into consideration when making a forced decision. so the perceptions -- if i told you i had a perception that the jolly green giant was jumping on me, that would be ridiculous. but if i was...

Will say hurt the defense. and was obviously answering a lot of questions that went to the heart of what was george zimmermans state of mind. well, isnt it only george zimmerman who can really truly testify to what his state of mind was? >> i think thats true. only he can do that. and as a prosecutor, i love it when the defense attorney -- i mean, the defendant testifies. then you can go at them with all those inconsistencies. however, if zimmermans smart, his story is already out there. he does...

Here. youre invading our client/attorney relationship. you could put the defendant in a position to where he feels pressured to do one or the other. >> lisa, let me bring you in. how much of a battle is going on? if you have a client whos insisting and whos had the kind of television exposure that george zimmerman has had, including that interview on hannity, where he referenced gods will, this person may believe he is on the side of truth and he may need to take the stand. >> im just skeptical ...

[ male announcer ] well be with him all day as he goes back to taking tylenol. i was okay, but after lunch my knee started...

Expertise and more importantly this case. i think its the fault of both lawyers. >> so lisa, is this a sign this has run out of gas, that all of the big witnesses weve heard from, weve seen, and that this should be moving rightfully so to closing arguments? >> you know, probably. what you see with expert witnesses is both sides arguing their entire case through the witness. so weve seen both attorneys now down on the dummy demonstrating the fight. interestingly, theyve both demonstrated with tra...
