Busy day in court.
Rulings/Actions:
1. Judge Nelson ruled that Zimmerman's 911 calls are admissible.
2. One alternate juror was dismissed (the reason is not related to the case according to HLN).
Testimony:
Got HLN on in the background. Another of the 911 callers is on the stand being cross-examined by West.
Jayne Surdyka is the prosecution witness who saw one man on top of the other from her second floor window.
She had previously heard a very aggravated voice that she says was a man. She says she heard a boy screaming for help and a yelp. She heard "pop, pop, pop". She called 911.
She's the caller that was crying and panicky and says, "Oh my god I don't know what he did to that person." She says Zimmerman walked towards her door in a manner, like "what did I do?".
West is trying to get Surdyka to admit that Zimmerman could have sounded like a boy and Trayvon like a man. He's also trying to put words into her mouth, imo. Surdyka isn't getting frazzled. She just says, "I guess so". She seems very confident in her perceptions of what she heard.
Surdyka is a good witness for the prosecution.
