out-of-control driver like that guy confronts you? stay tuned for expert advice. it s tuesday, june 25th. announcer: from abc news, this is world news now with john muller and diana perez. that is some video of that road rage. my goodness. just watching it what did you say? i feel for the poor guy who s sitting in there. i kind of want to jump out of the car and let that guy have it, which is terrible. it s exactly the wrong emotion you should have. did you see the guy in the car though? open the door. the guy in the car never moved a muscle. never moved. well, that would actually make me more mad if the guy wouldn t dignify the rage. the guy on the opposite side was yelling so hard at the windshield. hilarious. should we begin with our news? let s begin. a highly unusual opening statement in the emotionally charged trial of gunman george zimmerman. one lawyer began with a string of expletives. another told jurors a knock-knock joke.
half an hour, the defense gets up and they go for about 2 hours, 45 minutes. in addition to that knock-knock joke, the jurors were also subjected to a fair amount of looking at these detailed diagrams of that gated condo complex, and then there was a great deal of time spent looking at the timeline for that night. they took a lunch break then they came back. and the defense continued. so i would say just the juxtaposition between those two opening arguments, you mentioned judge nelson, tomorrow morning before the jury is brought in, we will hear judge nelson s ruling on whether the state will be allowed to bring in seven additional calls that zimmerman made to that nonemergency number. so, again, that will happen tomorrow morning at 8:30. then after that, the defense will continue calling additional witnesses. four today. we expect several more tomorrow, chris. msnbc s craig melvin. thank you so much.
