judges are really low to let in this kind of, i guess, reenactment when it almost encroaches on what the jury should be deciding which is what really happened that night. the jury should be the ones listening to the evidence, listening to the witnesses deciding credibility and deciding whose version of events they believe. not through the prism of someone else s reenactment. and it could be powerful for the defense because it would basically back up what the defense position as far as george zimmerman and trayvon martin. mark, i want you to watch. just a little while ago, they did show the beginning part of the animation that was prepared by daniel schumaker. that s his job, basically, to create this kind of evidence. watch this. where does that come from that gave you the foundation to create that portion of the animation? from mr. zimmerman s video
head and said i can t tell. so, your words were, i can t tell? something to that effect, but i never said, no, that wasn t my son s voice. reporter: defense attorneys also called up the owner of the gym where zimmerman trained to lose weight to demonstrate how a person could hold another down, adam pollak got on top of attorney mark o mara to show the jury, but when describing his client s skill level. he s still learning how to punch. he didn t know how to really effectively punch. on a scale of 1 to 10, where would mr. zimmerman fit? like i said, about a one. reporter: finally, judge debra nelson ruled testimony regarding marijuana levels in trayvon martin s system will now be evidence for jurors to consider, a critical ruling as this trial moves into day 11. back live in the courtroom here in sanford, florida, you can see attorney mark o mara and daniel schumaker making his
