Lots of decisions being made in this afternoon's hearing (outside of jury presence) that will affect the remainder of the trial.
The judge just ruled that defense expert Dennis Root will not be able to testify that Zimmerman didn't violate any Florida statutes. He also won't be able to testify that Zimmerman was reasonable in his use of force; that's for the jury to decide.
A hearing is now underway to determine whether a defense animation exhibit will be admissible.
