About the mannequin. i don't like the fact that the prosecution is really conceding the defense version of the case. we have the prosecution on top of the mannequin, like the defense attorney did. they didn't use the mannequin. i would had it standing up because that's one theory how the fight happened and when the shooting could have happened. i would have had george zimmerman on top as a number of witnesses had him and trayvon martin on the bottom. i would have had it moving around in a dynamic situation. i mean, to just do it the same way the defense did gives the jury the impression that e...

>> yes. >> and the defense doesn't want it. the state is it. the court is not going to give it. the next paragraph in the defense version starts with, however, before you can find george zimmerman initially provok provoked. that's not in the defense version. it's not in the state's version. do you want to talk about that? >> my understanding from what i heard before, that it's only there in the defense version because of 774. so if the court is giving none of that, i assume they don't want that in there either. >> then we go to the next one. you are further instructed that merely following tra...
