The Zimmerman Trial

it lends their side credibility....

Again, well done, Defense

But after two weeks of testimony, now he's saying it was TM's voice after initially saying it wasn't.

Oh, so they screwed up the proper procedure of playing the audio it seems.

Zimmerman looks depressed as hell.

No, the second time he heard the tape, he listened to it 20 times and then said that yes, it was Trayvon. That was March of 2012.

I stand corrected then on the timeline. So then he initially said "No", it wasn't TM's voice, then said it was in March of 2012.

He testified that originally, he said he couldn't tell.

I'm thinking they asked him, "Can you identify that voice"? And he said "no".

Now, all this time later, the cops are saying that the question was instead, "Is that your son's voice"? And he said "no".

Something like that.

State is looking weak as hell right now lol.....

Which of the 4 people in the room would have been most likely to be going through extreme mental turmoil? I'll give you a clue - it's not Serino or Singleton and Brandy Green is the least likely of the remaining 2. He shouldn't be the one expected to ask for a second hearing in the moments immediately after hearing his son shot dead. Confirmation of what his answer to the question Serino asked was, should have been carried out before Tracy Martin left the room, however long he needed to compose himself. Especially with such an ambiguous response that obviously need clarifying.

Well there is another blow to the state, motion denied to strike the testimony saying it was Zimmerman's voice.

Welcome: The Toxicology report....

Nooo...the state cannot say that this is prejudicial evidence since Zimmerman did not know Trayvon's drug levels before the incident..

Zimmerman CLEARLY told the police "He looks like he is on DRUGS or something,"

GO DEFENSE

The state would then just bring in an expert to testify about HOW that drug affects a person. The most Trayvon would have done is laugh at George and ask him for something to eat.

Peace, man...

so are they talking about the toxicology report? right now? i came late into the stream of the trial and am not sure what is going on right now? i had thought the toxicology report was not allowed in

If the defence can mention Trayvon's drug use to argue about his state of mind, can the state then bring in George's drug use? Could this be a well cast hook and bait that the prosecution has thrown out for the defence to bite on?

Doesn't matter one bit Zimmerman's 'drug use'...he could use every drug in the book all week;

THAT day he was not on any....Trayvon was.

Strike one

How do you know this? Are you his doctor? His psychiatrist, maybe? If you're the latter, the jury would be interested to hear your diagnosis.

ps. Not being on drugs he'd been prescribed for mood swings would be very relevant.

Oh boy, another blow across the bow. The state is taking on a lot of water after today.

Do you have a drug test that says otherwise?

The state is LOSING!!

Go DEFENSE

The toxicology expert will be allowed to testify on the effects of high drug use. Plus it is just yet ANOTHER piece of evidence that backs up Zimmerman's testimony that Martin was acting as if "he was on some drugs or something".

That judgment was for the opening arguments only. The judge has ruled that Trayvon's toxicology report can be admitted. The Defense will have an expert to talk about the effects. The Prosecution will have the opportunity to bring a witness to rebut or whatever.

The jury is not in the room.

So much for the judge being biased for the state, eh?
