you know going in, i agree you take your witnesses as you find them. the prosecution had to know she was going to be an awful witness. don t put her on first. put your case on and save her for last in case you can get away with not putting her on at all. i agree with her. here is the issue. i feel sorry for her as a person, forced into the situation. i agree with that, by the way. she can t read, has lit racy problems. the public comments have been cruel to her. she didn t ask to be put in this situation. in terms of the decedent, the so-called victim in this case, she s revealed a tremendous lot that goes beyond cultural norms. let s play where she reveals what anna and i were discussing, that she can t read the letter that she and the friend supposedly written and she said she had wrote about the shooting. and you and ms. sur talked
he was already in arm s length of me. yes, sir. and that s whthe punch that broke your nose? yes, sir. the difference between jeantel and zimmerman is that zimmerman is there. who is more credible? mark fuhrman? absolutely. the prosecution s star witness, at every opportunity, she was trying to interject something that she never told anybody ever before, or enhance that she thought or should be there. and, you know, the credibility of this witness, when we talked today on the radio show, i mean, it is so low, i m not even sure how the jury could consider this witness. what do you think, rod? i agree with mark to a certain degree. we also need to understand, sean, it s not jeantel on trial there. it s zimmerman on trial, and as
person s head and is he suffer a subdural hematoma and they die. he said that you are going to die tonight, is what he said. the crux of the case is what george zimmerman believed. does he have a reasonable believe belief. he didn t have to get harmed, he to reasonably believe he would be harmed. with no witness, how do they get to second degree murder, peter? how do they get there? if this is their only witness, an ear witness based on eyewitness testimony, it s difficult, difficult, difficult to do. and the testimony we heard does not help the prosecution. what do you think? i think the prosecution is doing a great job of proving reasonable doubt for the defense. so far that s what we ve got. reasonable doubt. i disagree. i don t know that they are going to get second degree murder. but they charged it based on the belief of the evidence that he was on top and pull out the gun
the last 10, 12 years. this is your next-door neighbor. did she write the letter? her friend wrote the letter, she can t read it. i want to know that she wrote that letter that she wrote, right? exactly. you can t enter it into evidence with any burden of proof on the prosecution if she can t demonstrate that those were her words. that that is what she was talking about. there s a pathos about it, a pathetic quality about it, sean. but at the same time, are you right in this part. is it a fabrication? not a recorded telephone call. all we have is her accounts, and if she can t authenticate that, then there is a problem. but i feel sorry for her again. a lot of her account was corroborated by other people already. have you phone records in evidence that show the call at the exact times she says. and other witness testified today. does any of this show that george zimmerman is guilty of
george zimmerman is the agre aggress aggressor, we can t believe what is coming out of her mouth. that s a problem. at one point, i couldn t hear trayvon, i could have heard trayvon, i did. they may be small, but cumulatively there are four or five instances. i am not saying she s a dream witness. she proved herself to lie and admitted lies on the stand. she is not testifying in a vacuum. you have lots of neighbors and other pieces of evidence that if the prosecution puts it together by the end and say, look, these couple things, whether you believe her, accept a witness, disregard them, or take parts. take the basics that have never changed and a lot of what she said has never, ever changed, the basics, and put it with the other, still end up with criminal liability, whether it s murder or manslaughter, heavy penalties here. mr. zimmerman says it s self-defense, and when we hear testimony that his alleged victim is engaging in this kind
