effective case to the jurors. don t try to connect all these dots that the state failed to connect. just go with the self-defense and if you find self-defense was acted upon, that absolvings george zimmerman of second degree murder andles of manslaughter. talk about a dramatic pause. during their closing the defense also used four minutes of complete silence. what was that about? three hours and five minutes of the closing argument and four minute office absolute silence. everybody in the courtroom looking at each other, looking ahead. pretty effective according to the courtroom observers. the jurors and he spectators all thought so. after trayvon martin left that seven that night he walked back to zimmerman s gated community and that s where zimmerman spotted him, saw him as suspicious and called police. mark o mara bailed the beginning of the four-minute gap from when
serena believed tracy martin fully understood him. a few days later he met with the fbi telling them that fellow officers were leaning on him. the fbi report says and i m quoting here all pressuring him to file charges against zimmerman after the incident. serino did not believe he had enough evidence at the time to file charges. but then detective serino issued his own report recommending george zimmerman face second-degree murder charges. he then changed that recommendation to manslaughter and finally three days after he recommended manslaughter, serino told the orlando sentinel that there simply was not enough evidence to charge george zimmerman. those flip-flops will certainly be front and center tomorrow in court, shep? shepard: yeah, he said there was pressure from others for that sort of thing. in addition today a lot of courtroom observers say it seems he is making all his points for the defense but for the prosecution there were no, some nuggets.
