It wasn't as strong as I'd thought it would be.
O'Mara said that Zimmerman was the victim of ill-will, hatred and spite and he held up a piece of concrete to show how Trayvon was armed with a weapon - the concrete sidewalk.
JMO, wrong strategy. I expected him to just continue to show that George Zimmerman acted in self-defense according to the law, not try to project the charges against Zimmerman on to Trayvon Martin.
Whatever the verdict, it'll be interesting to hear the juror interviews afterwards. This will be a tough deliberation, imo.
