the judge understands that and the attorneys understand it. you have to understand each of these attorneys is so immersed in this case in a any ruling adverse to them seems like a gross miscarriage of justice, at least in our own minds. so clonalically, you have to understand after this much too many, the fa teeth and they believed they re being truly wronged. i have faith that judges as adver sears get between judge and counsel that judges, everyone, the litigants, understand it s just part of the adver sear process. how would you describe the atmosphere? is the relationship with don west more prickly? with the defense. i have seen her be very nice to the prosecution. i was here at the hearings before the trial, but to the the
prosecution was trying to show is they were trying to discredit george zimmerman. if he in fact told his good friend that the legs of trayvon martin were up above the hips, how is george zimmerman going to get the gun to shoot him. we know he shot him, but he now, i think the point s made on both sides will be extremely important, just as you said, the trajectory of the shot based on where the parties were, because the prosecution brought into focus that maybe trayvon was trying to get away, was trying to stop the attack and get up from it all. but then you ve got to look at the trajectory of the shot because on that point, george zimmerman is not in imminent fear of death. danny, one of the points that the prosecution seemed to make today was they seemed to be allowing there was an alternate
tenable, that s reasonable doubt. the strange thing here is usually it doesn t come both from the prosecution. right, and the defense, exactly. that s what s so interesting about the prosecution. i want to quickly go back to a point that the prosecution was just making before the court went into recess about that he trained zimmerman on his website. we have a screen grab of that website, if we can put it up. if you see there, it says zimmerman, and it talks about training george zimmerman at cocoa pelli s gym. david, i know you ve said this is a treacherous, risky issue to bring up, but you can see why they would, right? if george zimmerman is weak as portrayed by pollock and others, why would he advertise it? they should have done this yesterday during cross-examination. do you think that matters to the jury? does the jury care about that? it s still information for them.
waters any more? i think the defense hopes it s cleared up the timeline. there s only one person alive today who knows how it happened. we heard him explain it with his lawyers on videotape. the defense is going to use that animation during their closing argument. the jury won t be able to take it back in the jury room and freeze-phrase it and place it, but the defense will use it. i think those two items will help the jury clear up exactly how it happened. the demonstration with the dummy today, there were some that he ricks involved, the prosecution conceding that may not have helped them, but i think they re going to go in there and they re going to have to decide for themselves, how did it happen? the only evidence they can take back in there with them is the video of george zimmerman explaining how it happened. the dummy is not in evidence. that won t go back in the jury room, and that animation will not going plan. the defense will do that to
we heard the real evidence that the defense wants you to look at is he was attacked and getting his rear end kicked. this is not batman. he didn t know how to overpower his opponent. this is a guy who didn t do very well at pollock s gym, so i don t know that the prosecution will be able to get the mileage they want. if i m pollock, i m going to testify, i tried to train this guy, but he was still not a very good fighter. for viewers just tuning in right now, the court is in a 15-minute recess, we re hashing out some of the big moments of today s rapt momentous arguments in the george zimmerman murder trial. i want to show a clip. the prosecution brought out a proper earlier today, a mannequin to represent george zimmerman during the alter case. both sides used this dummy to re-create the interpretations of the events let s take a look.
