My thoughts:
Let see, what happened in court today. Chris Serino was back on the stand, and he is one odd cop. I just got the feeling a lot of the things he stated, he wish he didn't do what he did back then. I actually saw him look over at George after stating something, and he just look sorry.
The State presented Kristin Bentsin an expert in fingerprints. After going through all of her qualifications, she was accepted as an expert in fingerprinting. In the end, there were no fingerprints on the gun. OK then, that was a great witness.
The State presented the Hannity interview with George Zimmerman, July 18, 2012, shortly after George was arrested the second time and out on bond up to the present. George's statement with Hannity was pretty much on the mark except for either about NOT knowing about "Stand Your Ground" or NOT knowing the full law regarding "Stand Your Ground."
You can know about "Stand Your Ground" as that is all that I know about it, but I don't know the Law about "Stand Your Ground."
There was one statement George Zimmerman made during the Hannity interview. I'm not 100% sure about what I wrote down regarding what he stated, but it sounded like George has no regret getting out of his car and that it was God's plan.
I can't bear to listen to another recording of the same story of what happened, just to find what George stated.
There was lots of discussion on this subject, and George's college records, maybe even his under-ware drawer will be investigated to determine how much did George know about "Stand Your Ground". Especially since the State feels that George wanted to do a ride along with the cops, and perhaps a "wannabe" cop.
Heck most boys at one time or another would love to ride along with the cops, and who doesn't want to be in uniform of any kind.
Then the medical examiner took the stand, Valerio Rao. Now she is NOT the medical examiner that did the autopsy on Trayvon Martin. Nope, she did the examination of George Zimmerman head through copies of pictures sent to her computer, of which, she printed out. Oh wait, she had loads of pictures of George Zimmerman, but that would take too much time, so she only printed a few of them. Need I go on with that one?
Rao didn't like the word George Zimmerman used to tell the cops what happened to his head. George stated his head was being slammed into the concrete. Now Rao felt that was not the right word as "slam" means really forceful. Well I'll be, George should have selected another word. Should it have been "smashed", but that means to smash something perhaps until it slips open or "smashed" as in drunk.
Actually I don't think anyone really came up with the right word that George Zimmerman should of used since his head was hitting the concrete by another person doing it.
Then the Defense used the word protrusion, well that word the expert ME didn't understand. Maybe O'Mara should have used "bump" on the side of George's nose, but then again Rachael Jentel used bump when she felt Trayvon got punched, oops. bumped in the nose.
Trayvon had no bruises, abrasions, protusions, scalp, skull or any injury to his head, face etc. He suffered a one single gunshot to his chest.
Back and forth Rao corrected O'Maria for using bruises when it should be abrasions. Some abrasions were brusing, nose swollen, and then not swollen. The word crown for top of head, skull when it should be scalp.
Rao never saw original photos, and gave her expert advise by using copies, of copies of pictures. In the end, George Zimmerman had insignificant injuries to his face, head etc., and were not life threatening to George Zimmerman.
Well, the way I see it, George Zimmerman was in fear of having his head damaged from what he felt was "slamming of his head into concrete." He felt in fear of his life, although, according to Chris Serino, and Singleton, since his injuries were so "insignificant", I guess they felt he would have survived the attack.
The State also introduced Mark Osterman. Mark is a very good friend of George Zimmerman, and he wrote a book titled: "Defending our Friend; the Most Hated Man in America."
Mark wrote this book from memory, no notes or recordings were used to write the book, just Mark's memory of what George Zimmerman stated. I guess the biggest issue was the wording: "his gun, the gun" or something like that. The State pulled this out and tried to use it as though George Zimmerman stated this directly. However, it is a good friend of George that wrote a book only going on his memory.
So far, IMO, 2nd degree murder still has NOT been proven, The state has to prove ill-will, hatred, spite, or evil intent.
Until Wednesday ......
