minimum. you've known how low the levels are so why do you fight so hard to have it admitted? >> because i think that should be our decision rather than the court's decision. i think when we have relevant admissible evidence it should be allowed in and we make the decision as part of the defense strategy, whether or not we'll present it. i don't think the court should preemp us and at the end she didn't and we make the decision keeping in mind the sustained stance of the evidence and how it may persuade the jury and keeping in mind the sensitivities that we have had throughout this trial and also pretrial concerning trayvon martin's family and the sensitivities of what they are going through now. so the decision was made it wasn't going to be probative enough for us to deal with the concerns surrounding it. >> how surprised were you that the judge didn't allow at least some of those text messages in? >> well, i respect the court's ruling. i was surprised because i think they are proper evidence found
