    I'd like to hear how Martin supporters feel the 3 witnesses did today.

    Not a supporter of Zimmerman or Martin. I think Martin was on his way to full blown problematic adulthood and Zimmerman has some screws loose. Having said that the witnesses did what they were supposed to do for the prosecution. If jurors want an excuse to convict they now have something to rationalize their gut feelings. The defense will take a similar tact. Most likely it is going to come down to the values and core belief system of a majority of the jurors.

    The friend of Trayvon was a train wreck, she basically said that TM profiled GZ as a crazy ass cracker which gave insight to TM'd predetermined mindset in regard to who he thought Zimmerman was. Cracka is not a term of endearment it's used used in a derogatory manner. He had already decided GZ was crazy. Neither this girl or TM were open to the possibility that GZ could have been some sort of watch or security for the complex.

    While on the stand this girl showed the same miniscule level of civil behavior that drove her friend to confront the cracka.

    The claims of get off by TM were not in her original statements. She got busted with 2 lies. She said that she didn't take one interview seriously. The defense isn't even done with this Einstein.

    I'm curious how you can imply how she is acting on stage is an indicator of someone completely different attack a person. Help me, I can not follow your logic. She is acting dismissive, lazy, and frustrated, not exactly aggressive traits. That seems to favor TM if he has a similar disposition, but like I said you can't apply her demeanor to another person...especially over a year away.

    I've never seen anyone with such a perfect fitting neck brace -- it was a good call for her to wear that knowing that she was about to be in a train wreck.

    Not sure why you quote my response to McMark to ask a question unrelated to it.

    I was mainly talking about a lack of respect toward authority figures. Her dismissive and rude responses to the defense team were a prime example. Trayvon Martin had a history of inability to take direction from authority figures including his own parents.

    This young lady has to realize that there are 2 sides to this story and the attorney is doing his job to make sure his client has a fair trial. From what I have heard this morning, she has started off with a better tone with the defense team as she probably got coached by the Prosecution.

    Their verbal exchanges on the phone indicated both TM and the witness had already characterized GZ as crazy and or a rapist before TM made contact with him. That could very well lead to a motive to assault him rather than talk things out.

    I like how courteous she is being compared to yesterday, with all the 'sirs'. You aren't allowed to speak with the prosecution team, right?

    Also: can't read cursive, yet wrote a letter in cursive. Did I get that right?

    Her neck is trying to swallow her head.

    I have to figure that if this is the best the prosecution can dig up... this should certainly be a "not guilty" verdict. It's turning into a joke.

    Writing it is a lot easier than reading it.

    Says the guy who wrote this about GZ if he is acquited....

    "And live in fear for the rest of his life. Probably the best karma of all."

    Work on your own issues.

    A perfectly rational observation.

    Does anyone find the defense attorneys face weird also? This would be so much better if she donated some of the neck to his face.

    The girl has helped the prosecution by showing that Zimmerman was in following or pursuing Martin.

    She has yet to make it believable that Martin definitely said "Get off, get off".

    I think the first point that she makes is probably more important than the last point that she has yet to make.

    - edit -
    Playing the audio may have backfired on the defense. Initially I wasn't convinced that she'd heard Martin say "Get off..." The defense wanted the audio to show that she say she couldn't hear Trayvon.

    But it's in answer to the question "could you tell who was saying that?" It makes sense that she would say "no" if she couldn't, or "I could hear Trayvon" if she did. It doesn't really make sense to answer the question "Could you tell who was saying that?" with "I couldn't hear Trayvon"

    Of course a prosecution witness can speak with the prosecutors. They tend to go over their testimony to maike sure they are not surprised with responses.
