West: We want this jury told "it's not illegal to follow somebody," especially if reporting info to police. State objects. #ZimmermanTrial

West want judge to tell jury following someone isn't illegal, would be "misleading" if she doesn't. #ZimmermanTrial

Mantei: Telling jury what's not illegal is confusing. "It is not illegal to be armed with a pack of Skittles." #ZimmermanTrial

@Angie_Lytical #TrayvonMartin's parents are not in court for this. They'll likely be here for closing arguments. #Zimmermanon9

She said if she makes a mistake the defense can appeal but told the defense not to argue after she rules. #Zimmermanon9

The defense wants the judge to tell the jury following is not illegal. The judge says she won't. #Zimmermanon9

After yesterday's Judge Nelson harassing and argumentative behavior toward the defense and badgering Zimmerman whether he was going to testify before the end of the Defense's case, I would dare say that she needs to be brought up on judicial conduct charges.

West: While not typical, "it's clear that the law allows it." Acknowledges not using it probably isn't reversible error. #ZimmermanTrial

Attorneys are now debating defense request for instruction on circumstantial evidence.  #ZimmermanTrial #GeorgeZimmerman #TrayvonMartin

Mantei: Circumstantial evidence instruction hasn't been standard in decades, state's case not entirely circumstantial. #ZimmermanTrial

West: State's case is circumstantial, instruction gives jury guidance "they desperately need." #ZimmermanTrial #GeorgeZimmerman
