george zimmerman says happened didn t happen. so you ve got to now look at all of the other evidence, because you ve got to discount what he says happened. except, sunny, what they ve done, what they ve done is they ve conceded over the course of the trial that what zimmerman staid happened is more likely than what they first staid happened. i don t think so. if they ve been educated during the course of the trial. i disagree with that. it is different than what they started out saying. the prosecution has said, zimmerman was on top. now they re saying if you don t believe us, that zimmerman was on top, here s a viable theory where trayvon martin is on top. and then following almost immediately after, mark o mara as on to that with his own demonstration, which was a brilliant piece of improv.
you re conceding that trayvon martin was on top, because remember, there are two witnesses saying they saw george zimmerman on top. the prosecution has now admitted we don t really know what happened, so here are a bunch of alternatives. let s see what sticks. what the prosecution is going to argue is we know that what george zimmerman says happened didn t happen. so you ve got to now look at all of the other evidence, because you ve got to discount what he says happened. except, sunny, what they ve done, what they ve done is they ve conceded over the course of the trial that what zimmerman staid happened is more likely than what they first staid happened. i don t think so. if they ve been educated during the course of the trial. i disagree with that. it is different than what they started out saying. the prosecution has said, zimmerman was on top. now they re saying if you don t
sunny hostin, jeffrey toobin. danny savalos and mark geragos. mark, you ve been saying for a long time you would eat your had if george zimmerman took the stand. i m sure you re very pleased you re not going to have to do that. the one thing i m not pleased and, i think i raised the odds from 50 to 100-1 and nobody took me up on it. i could have made enough money to have bought jeff s new paper back which came out yesterday. thank you for the plug. we have this digital dash board question, deloris asks how much will george zimmerman not taking the stand make on the trial? the judge instructs the jury to draw no infrenss that the
