rule tomorrow, the text, the photos, tomorrow and make her ruling. it s unclear whether tonight s hearing will derail defense plans to rest tomorrow. a lot to talk about tonight. sunny hostin and jeffrey toobin join me. on the defense table, danny savalos and mark geragos. and dr. lawrence kobalanski is here. mark, some dramatic moments just in the last couple of minutes. the defense saying that the prosecution that the state has basically lied and hid evidence from them, not given over evidence that they had in a timely manner. well, this has been their complaint all along. one of the reasons that mark o mara was talking about that don west was so upset early on and had done the knock knock joke and everything else, they are bitterly complaining that the prosecution has been playing
day. don west crying that he has to workweek and during trial plus late at night. i sometimes wonder, is this first trial this guy has actually ever tried? > it was amazing to watch that. we are talking about a second degree murder trial and he s whining about having to workweek and. you saw with the judge walking off, he got her upset and rightly so. all thee cares about is the you re all she cares about is the jury that s been sequestered. she wants to move this along. she doesn t want whining from any lawyers. gregg: the same guy who cracked the knock knock joke in front of the jury. tell me about the two critical
pursuing trayvon martin or on the night in question saying these f ing punks they always get away with it but that s okay to say. i mean, i m not saying it s not it s legally there is nothing wrong withdrawing that conclusion. they have to tie the shooting to that belief. bill: i understand. it s not okay to say if you are telling a jury, look, i didn t have any i didn t want any part of this because he certainly suspected, he was certainly looking for that the lawyers involved. the defense lawyer and the prosecutor, are they doing their jobs? is one better than the other? they are doing their jobs. don west, who is one of the defense attorneys got pillarried for telling a knock knock joke in his opening statement as he should have. it was in bad taste. he t. wasn t funny. he alien natalled the jury. it was a big mistake and i think he would acknowledge that mark o mara i have to say has done a nice job as defense attorney. he has a nice demeanor. not alienating. as between the
i don t see why you need to tell me water is wet. i think she made a good point. don west likes to be very, very thorough. he does, obviously. this is not as bad as the knock knock joke. i think he s borboring the jury. i think he needs to make his point. otherwise the jury will miss that. if you have one good point and a witness up for two hours the jury may not have heard that point. hit it, hit it hard, move on. the next logical witness will be some member of trayvon martin s family? they can say, i remember when he was excited after a game or this so forth of environment. it helps who he is. we all heard of it a million times, the streaming stops immediately after the gunshot. as a defense attorney, what does that tell you, page? i think it will be difficult
attorney don west. he doesn t have the best sense, when you are in the courtroom, it s almost you are so in the weeds, are you in a volume. are you so in the zone that sometimes you don t keep your hand on the court and it just seems to me given the fact that he gave almost a three-hour opening statement it was rambling started with that knock knock joke around the world. he cross-examined rachel jeantel in a way that many find him offensive. now we have him keeping a witness on the stand a bit too long. sometimes as a trial attorney, are you so in the zone, you lose your sense of the courtroom. i m sure page may or may fought have had that experience. i had it early in my career i 10 to 15 think that s what s happening. we were all expecting the
