walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

The scheduling order clearly states no continuances based on not meeting the specified deadlines.

And where is George's voice expert? I know he has one because Judge Nelson mentioned it in court. So who is it and what does he/she have to say?

Next court date may 28 tick tock tick tock

Haven't seen any of the current voice analysis experts identified in media reports as having concluded that the voice is that of Zimmerman, or that the voice was the older of the two men, or that the voice could not have been that of Trayvon. If the defense has such an opinion on hand (and the expert is credible), not sure why O'Mara would be trying so vigorously to exclude voice analysts from testifying.

If the voice analysts are allowed in, I could see O'Mara being able to really tear into the state's experts on cross-examination though. He could attack the lack of certainty in their conclusions, the nature of the technology, the limited duration of the audio screams, and the fact that, unfortunately, the only sample of Trayvon's voice available for comparison was pulled from a cell phone recording.

Still, without a defense rebuttal expert to testify that the voice is George's (or at least not Trayvon's), the state could score some important points with the jury.

Anxious to hear Judge Nelson's rulings. The legal analysts at WESH and The Sentinel believe that she'll allow the voice analysts in, while the HLN pundits say "no". I think they should be allowed in.
