advantage? i think we have already had a suggestion of that. he put out there the prior burglary, home invasion in the neighborhood that started the whole neighborhood watch and got george zimmerman concerned about crime was committed by a young african-american male who was, by the way, arrested and presumably the concern would have diminished at that point but we haven t heard that from the prosecution either. i think mark o mara is carefully and subtly putting the idea out there that, look. trayvon martin matched that description. he too was a young african male. he is putting it out there saying this isn t a racial issue, he just happens to have looked like the other one and therefore was suspicious. he just put it out there a little bit. just to get that in the jurors minds. as i said, i hope the prosecution will respond in rebuttal because there are so many good responses to that. there is also a question about the story that george zimmerman tells and the
