I haven't followed it every day but have a couple of them. CNN has a running blog testimony .

From today, appears to me that the prosecution is not trying very hard. They seem to let this witness, Good, off easy.infact I'm not sure iwould have called him. Same with the PA who examined him the day after.

They also let the girl friend of Martin get beat up on the stand by the defense.

I thought this girl they are cross examining is Martin's friend only not girl friend.She is very slow I see from the answers she gives the atty.This is his job to get to the truth and drill her.

The job of a defense attorney is to get his client acquitted. It is not--NOT--to get the truth.

I think they're trying to get the defense to put Zimmerman on the stand so they can X examine and bring out the inconsistencies in his story.

There was lots of medical testimony yesterday and I think they're pushing that there was no way Martin pounded Zimmerman's head on the pavement and he ended up with minor wounds. You have to remember the head is very vascular and the slightest cut abrasion bleeds a lot. IF his head would have been ponded as he says he'd have far worse wounds and trauma.

We'll see. It's not over until the "fat guy" sings ! whistle

A mother hurting.

http://www.cnn.com/video/standard.html?/...er-part-two.cnn

I've wondered about this, also. Now I'm more confused.

Martin, I had read, was on his way to his father's girl friend's house when the incident occured. But in the Media all was mentioned was his mother. Now , I see, he also has a step mother . How many women the father have around, anyway. Of, course, it matters none, for the trial, but I like to know how things work.

A couple of things have yet to be discussed in the trial: the coronor's report said that none of Zimmerman's DNA was found on Martin's unbruised hands …. and Zimmerman was supposedly having his nose beaten and bloodied and his head pounded on the concrete. If that is true, it has been suggested that Zimmerman's bloodied nose was a result of his gun kicking back on discharge.


Also, the defense attorney questioning Martin's friend certianly deserved this response:

“Of course, you don’t know if he was telling the truth or not,” attorney Don West insisted to witness Rachel Jeantel, who was speaking to Martin on the phone just minutes before he was shot by Zimmerman.

“Why would he need to lie about that, sir?” Jeantel asked.

“Maybe he decided to assault George Zimmerman and he didn’t want you to know about it,” West said.

“That’s real retarded, sir,” Jeantel pointed out. “Trayvon did not know him.”



Media blowhards saying Jeantel (black female) is unreliable witness because she lied to Trayvon's family why she didn't attend the funeral ( she said in court she did not want to see her friend's dead body, she felt guilty saying that to the mom). Although yesterday's testimony by Good (white male) was devasting to the prosecution …. although he admitted lying on previous depositions that he saw Trayvon sitting on top of Zimmerman landing "Martial Arts" style blows to his head, yet he said in court he never actually saw Trayvon hitting him. And so it goes.

Bill Maher had a comment about Christie's response to the DOMA decision; Christie said Gay marriage /relationship was unnatural. I think Maher went a little over the line in describing Christie on top of his wife having sex and seeing that as "natural". Crowd enjoyed it but I thought it was over the line. But that's Bill Maher. I bet Christie has some choice words for Maher !! shocked

I thought that it was shwn that Martin had bloody or bruised knuckles.

Also what model gun did Zimeran have?

What were each of their positions when the gun discharged.

I've not heard mention of these

Been watching this trial since day one on HLN.
The trial has gone from "yes sir, no sir" to "whose on top!" smirk

For the record, Jental (sp) is not Travon's girlfriend just a "high school" friend/classmate.
Travon does not have a stepmother. He does have a stepfather as his mother has remarried. Father has a fiance or girlfriend (depends on which media you read).

When Travon's body was shown in the court, hands & arms were under the body.
