walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[Carsman]

I heard the last bit of the hearing. I'm paraphrasing but the judge gave her ruling and right after O'Mara said "before you decide, judge..." and she said "I already did". Smack down.

Judge Nelson doesn't mess around.

Zimmerman wasn't at the hearing this morning. The legal analysts are saying that's unusual this close to the trial.

I know I keep repeating this, but really hope Zimmerman testifies so that he can directly answer questions that have arisen from his written statement and interviews. Worried that he's not gonna take the stand and we won't get to hear explanations in his own words.

Those explanations (if they were to happen) "in his own words", may just do him more harm then good. Being "thought" guilty, can be over shadowed by him unknowingly being led by the prosecutor in to "proving" it.
