walking while black - Trayvon Martin

Plus it rebuts the defense argument that George was soft and a total pussy. I think it should be allowed. Has that decision been made yet?

Yes, that's what I think could be the biggest advantage to his testimony, depending on the nature/level of the assault he describes.

I believe that Judge Nelson will decide tomorrow whether the witness can testify (assuming he's available):

Prosecutor Richard Mantei told the court Wednesday that the state may call a plainclothes ATF agent to speak about a 2005 arrest of Zimmerman, on charges the defense says were later dismissed. But it's unknown if this witness will be available, and Nelson has said she will consider the defense's argument that he shouldn't testify regardless because they say that 8-year-old incident is irrelevant.

I think the prosecution really needs this witness. But, I find it odd that prosecutors claim the witness might not be available to testify. Really? Makes me wonder if the witness is somewhat reluctant or the state is undecided whether he could hurt rather than help them for some reason.

Tomorrow will definitely be an interesting day of arguments and rulings, even before closing arguments begin in the afternoon.
