Defense Closing Arguments

   July 12, 2013  Zimmerman trial:  While we weren't happy that the prosecutor did quite a bit of yelling during their closing arguments yesterday, he did make a lot of good points that many of us had been wondering about.

   But the defense today, while looking and speaking calmly, first asked the jury not to have bad first impressions (what about Zimmerman's first impressions of Martin?)

   Then he stated that if there are gaps in the timeline, you should not assume what happened.

     Then he immediately turned around and showed the animated cartoon of the incident that they had created, and told them to assume certain things happened in the gaps.

   In fact, we noticed that Zimmerman didn't seem to be that happy with the way it was presented about him.
