Messages. what could you hope would be the probative value of these text messages that wouldn t just bitter the jury? well, there s a spectrum of different things the defense is trying to get in. one is the marijuana which goes to his state of mind at the time. signing that s probative. i think that should come in. however once we move along the spectrum we get the text messages. we have to be aware of what zimmerman was aware of at the time. when you get into trayvon martin s bad character that zimmerman couldn t possibly have been aware of then you move away from the probative. and the potential for prejudice starts to rise. when prejudice outweighs substantially the probative value, it must be excluded. so vinnie, do you believe i concur you dorun with. you condurincur. do you think they run with this case and if they do, what do ....

and danny, the defense argued strenuously to get the toxicology report in, but them it didn t come up. that was fascinating to me, because they fought hard to get that in, and even now today we ve been talking about text messages. it s a spectrum of different pieces of evidence that the defense wanted to get in. on one end is probably the marijuana, because it goes to someone s state of mind at the time this happened. on the other end, you get into the text messages. what we look at is what was in george zimmerman s mind at the time of, not just general history about trayvon martin. of course, on the silly end is the fact that he had gold teeth. but stuff that goes to his state of mind, marijuana, tends to be more probative. but then we move out to text messages, and things we know that zimmerman was not aware of, and we move from probative and probably way more prejudicial. we have to take a quick break. ....

Of marijuana in his body when he died. some believe that the information is irrelevant to determining whether zimmerman had a right to kill martin. the defense decision is a head-scratcher, because the defense had argued strenuously and successfully on yesterday to be allowed to introduce the information into the trial. listen. we know that there is a positive level for thc in mr. martin s system. we know from george zimmerman s non-emergency call that he said trayvon martin, the person he didn t know that he later found out was who he was describing looks like he is on drugs or something. the fact that mr. martin indeed was under the influence of drugs at the time is highly relevant and probative for the jury. it supports the our claim of self-defense. ....

Living. paul, again, right now, folks, we continue to monitor the courtroom this hearing started at 8:30. once this hearing is over, judge nelson is expected to make some sort of decision with regards to whether this evidence will be admitted. paul, based on what you know about the evidence and based on the arguments that you heard yesterday and what s happening right now, based on the years of experience you have, as well as a prosecutor, what are the chances that the state gets this evidence in? i think it s a tough call right now and it could go either way. they re not making a quick ruling. the judge has taken more time to evaluate the law. this morning we re hearing the arguments back and forthing from both sides. i think it s a close call. it s going to come down to whether or not the judge is going to find that information more probative than not or prejudicial against the defense. one of the things that lisa brought out and i agree with, that the defense is going to try and ....

we talked about this last night on the program with mark geragos. you can listen to the tapes and say you know what, this is a neighborhood watch guy that is concerned and called 911 many times but he was doing what he was supposed to do. how do you think sure, perhaps that s what the jury will think, but i would like to know, anderson, that last night i did say that these tapes were coming in so danny s argument is the losing argument. jeff s argument was the losing argument. the judge agrees, this does come in to show state of mind. he didn t call once, twice, several times using the same exact language over and over and over again. african-american males, young, black males. but what does this go to? the prior calls sh, what probative fact does that go to? the judge didn t think so the judge didn t think so. ....
