O'Mara is arguing for a judgment of dismissal. He is absolutely correct in his statement that this is a primarily circumstantial case in regards to Murder 2, imo.
I highly doubt there will be any such acquittal judgment coming from Nelson, imo. The prosecution does have circumstantial evidence and inconsistencies in George's statements, which are valid.
Nelson will likely deny the acquittal judgment motion and we'll either see a short defense case next, or O'Mara will choose not to call any defense witnesses and the trial will move straight into closing arguments.
If the prosecution's closing arguments aren't unbelievably convincing, George may well walk, imo.
Why the hell the state called Trayvon Martin's mom, Sybrina Fulton, before they called nutjob Dr. Bao is befuddling. De la Rionda should have ended the state's case with Sybrina's testimony that the voice screaming for help was "absolutely" that of her dead son. That should have been the last piece of testimony the jury heard before the prosecution rested.
