beyond the shadow of a doubt
I'm pretty sure you've just made that up. I know this because the actual standard is beyond reasonable doubt.

Sir, he's referring to Zimmerman's state of mind and the preconceived notions he had that caused his predjudice, which is clearly evident in the 9/11 call.
Ma'am, he's not doing anything of the sorts. He's realizing his and the state's case is litteraly wrecked and the only thing they have left is keep trying to blast emotions at the moms in the jury.
This is not the sort of stuff you are saying in court if you are a representative in the case. The very concept of a court house is quite the opposite - use facts and evidence and not the heart.

This prosecuting attorney is so long-winded. It seems like he is doing a lousy job. Am I completely off?

It was holstered on his side not in the small of his back.
As just pointed out in rebuttal, even if gun was holstered on the side, he still can't reach the gun with Martin in the mounted position as Martin's legs would be covering it.
I challenge anyone, lie on your back, have someone mount you, equal weight, heavier it doesn't matter, but let's say someone weighing 150 lbs, then try to pull out a holstered gun from behind you. You can't do it. Forget someone is punching you in the face and that you would naturally be defending the blows.
Zimmerman's lied multiple times.

So your claiming, Zimmerman made no racial judgemental statements in his 9/11 call?

I submit, Zimmerman had hatred in his "heart", which is what this case is all about.

Unfortunately for you, the state, and the entire flash mob of GZ haters/TM supporters, you can't even remotely present any evidence that will support this notion. The only thing you have to offer is your hateful speculation and that is a stone cold fact, mis.
Now ask yourself this - If Zimmerman was black, would this trial even get this far? What about if TM was white? Yeah.

I don't understand why the prosecution gets two chances for closing arguments. Why do they get to rebut a closing argument? It's a closing argument.
