through. where s that piece of evidence? where is one shred of evidence to support the absurdity that they re trying to have you buy? one. mr. guy can tell you about it when he closes, if it s there. assumption, supposition, could have been. bonaparte, just part of the absurdity of how this thing happened with the phone call with the tape. i don t think it matters too much. ms. delagarde, nice lady, didn t want to bring her here sick. george zimmerman, saw him that night, saw him beat up. then hit the light voice, and it sounded like it was his voice. dennis root, now we have
casually and conversationally, a folksy manner as opposed to the fiery moments bernie de la rionda, the prosecutor yesterday. so george zimmerman there standing up next to mark o mara. tried to humanize his client, the defendant here charged with second-degree murder, who really has pretty much just sat there across the room from the jury this entire three week trial. pretty much not making many expressions. finally, mark o mara got to show this jury that computer animation he tried so hard to get into the trial earlier this week, but the judge wouldn t allow it except for losing arguments as a demonstrative exhibit, so they saw that computer animation clearly showing trayvon martin throwing the first punch. that s why prosecutors objected to it, because there was absolutely no evidence that that was exactly the way the whole altercation s claimanted in the beginning. so now we ll have a short rebuttal in about ten minutes by john guy with the state prosecutors, and then this afternoon
his arms out, why would he stop yelling for help? why? if he was in fear? does that make any sense? of course not. if he was selling that loud and that long, would he have sounded the way he sounded on the recordings that you have? he wouldn t have been hoarse? he wouldn t have a strained voice if that was him yelling. really? that is why common sense is so important. this isn t a complicated case. it s a common sense case. and it s not a case about self-defense. it s a case about self-denial. george zimmerman s.
let them do it with yelling, don t let them do it screeching. because none of that matters. we have a definition of reasonable doubt, and now you do. you look at that definition, you go back to that room and say let s talk first about self-defense. if i think george zimmerman acted in self-defense, we are done. so thank you for the time. thank you for the attention. again, we talked about weight at the beginning, an amazingly difficult task that we ve asked you to take on. and we often have had jurors who, a couple of whom we had to wake up on occasion. you re certainly not those. the note taking and the interest, it s been apparent. i appreciate the time, my client does, the state does, i m sure, the court does and seminole county does because you ve given us what we needed from you which is your attention.
better, at least different. at least unique. jury should not be influenced by feelings of prejudice, bias or sympathy. must be based on the evidence in the law, period. and the young will tell you what the the judge will tell you what the law is. and now we ll talk for a moment about self-defense. because we ve talked all around it, and let s tell you exactly what the judge will instruct you as to what it is. a person is justified in using deadly force, force like that ll cause death, if he reasonably believe such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself. there are alternatives. death or great bodily harm, whether or not george reasonably believeed, reasonable fear of great bodily harm. he doesn t have to think he was going to die. he does not have to think he was going to die.
