Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump does not look happy. #Zimmermanon9

The defense told the jury not to letnthe state's screaching and yelling and innuendo drive the verdict. #Zimmermanon9

Mark O'Mara put the State in a box.

From all accounts the jurors were engaged the entire time. The State is going to have to show that their evidence is there against Zimmerman against a reasonable doubt.

O'Mara: Following somebody is not illegal. "If it was, you would be instructed on it." #ZimmermanTrial #GeorgeZimmerman #TrayvonMartin

O'Mara: "Put yourself in the mind of what #GeorgeZimmerman was going thru." If he had reasonable fear of great injury "he's not guilty."

O'Mara: If "reasonable doubt" on whether GZ justified in using force or not, "you should find #GeorgeZimmerman not guilty." #ZimmermanTrial

My bold in blue:

So this is how MOM worked around Judge Nelson not allowing instruction to jury that following someone is illegal. 

BRILLIANT!!!

Zimmerman murder trial judge denies defense request on jury instruction
Thursday, July 11, 2013

SANFORD, Florida (Reuters) - The judge presiding over the murder trial of George Zimmerman denied a defense request on Thursday that jurors be instructed the neighborhood watch volunteer did nothing illegal in deciding to follow Trayvon Martin, before the encounter in which he shot and killed the unarmed black teenager.

"I am not giving that instruction," Seminole County Judge Debra Nelson told Zimmerman defense lawyer Don West, who said no Florida law makes it illegal to follow somebody and that the proposed jury instruction was key to Zimmerman's self-defense case.

John Guy can't get into responding to MOM or it looks like other side is framing issues. But he needs to tell jury what State proved. #fox35

Gut probably going through his outline deleting where he intended to yell curse words.

I guess his rebuttal closing may only be 5 minutes then. Guess he needed white out for the "F'n" punks opening of his statement

A statement from the former police chief of Sanford would be very telling.  Why Bill Lee not called as a witness for the Defense.  His words imply that GZ should never have been arrested.  The following article in its entirety is a must read.  IMO

Ex-Sanford police chief: Zimmerman probe ‘taken away from us’
Wed July 10, 2013

The George Zimmerman investigation was hijacked "in a number of ways" by outside forces, said the former police chief of Sanford, Florida.

Bill Lee, who testified Monday in Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial, told CNN's George Howell in an exclusive interview that he felt pressure from city officials to arrest Zimmerman to placate the public rather than as a matter of justice. ...

Guy: #GeorgeZimmerman called #TrayvonMartin, "a perfect stranger," a "f***ing punk," what does that tell you about GZ? #ZimmermanTrial

Guy: To know what happened should look "into the heart of the grown man and the heart of that child." #ZimmermanTrial

Prosecutor Guy: "The human heart, it has a great many functions... It moves us, it motivates us, it inspires us..." #ZimmermanTrial

John Guy addressed the defense remarks about his yelling and cursing and said their voice is the only one that matters. #Zimmermanon9

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV  1m 
John Guy is trying to play on sympathy by talking about how the heart drives us.. and is telling them to think about #Zimmermanon9 's.

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV  3m 
Interesting to see how John Guy performs after remarks about screaming and cursing. He might argue Martin is not on trial. #Zimmermanon9

#zimmermantrial GUY: "Look into the heart of the child." Sickening.

Good grief, the State has no evidence, they are just going to play on the sympathies and emotions of 6 woman. Really?

The state says being followed by a stranger at night is a child's worst nightmare and it was Martin's last nightmare. #Zimmermanon9
