The Prosecution is going to push that he should have stayed in his truck and not followed as per Dispatch.

In Florida manslaughter is a lesser-included charge of second degree murder, so it was always inevitable that the jury would be read this instruction as well. Here, it is quite possible that the State may be able to prove the elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt–essentially that Zimmerman deliberately used force against Martin, and that Martin died as a result.

The challenge for the State, then, comes in the second half of the analysis in any self-defense case, and that is where the defendant claims that, yes, he did commit the acts with which he was charged but he was legally justified in doing so because he was acting in lawful self-defense. Self-defense is an absolute defense against conviction of any intentional crime, if accepted by the jury as true.

Any bets on how many times he'll use the curse words??

Apparently it's illegal to assume things...

It's unfortunate to have a NW?

Can O'Mara bring out the toxicology and marijuana in his closing argument?

It would be kind of ... ironic ... if one or some of these mothers KNOW about "lean" )or whatever it's called). Sadly, I know from my son's past experimentation.

Notice Bernie says, "Got Skittles, tea, or drink, whatever it's called", as though it is no big deal. O'Mara has always been specific. We will see what he does with that.

He doesn't repeat that Jentel said a "Creepy *** Cracker", but he will focus on GZ's terminology.

BDLR is misleading the Jury. Of the 5 calls to non-emergency, the lady from that dept says 3 resulted in arrests. He keeps saying he thinks only one was arrested.
