and compartmentalize everything that took in place. there is a inconsistent in that. we have two witnesses. we have best friend that wrote a book, no, zimmerman told me he had the gun in his hand. we have zimmerman telling the authorities that trayvon was reaching for my gun. you have to make sure the jury focuses and defense didn t hit home on that. gregg: i want to put up reasonable doubt because it applies to self-defense not just murder and manslaughter. if you have a reasonable doubt on a question of whether zimmerman was justified in the use of deadly force you should find him not guilty. you see the burden in florida shifts from the defense to the prosecution whether they invoke self-defense. they have to disprove it beyond a reasonable doubt, right? yeah, that is the tough part for the prosecution here as you pointed out. people have looked at some
