I am so irritated that none of the news commentators have called out

O'Mara for lying during his closing statement. He told the jurors that Zimmerman did not tell Hannity that he new nothing about Stand Your Ground. Do O'Mara and West really think that people are that stupid? I have no tolerance for people who lie about stuff that is easily disproved by independent third parties.

Al Sharpton has done decent coverage. CNN and HLN not.

The Prosecutors did the best with what they had to work with. It is more a lot of the media that irritates me. They rely far too much on defense attorneys and not a balance of prosecution and defense experts. And I wish someone would drop Frank Taffey off of a very tall cliff.

Based on evidence not opening or closing statements. These defense attorneys were pretty bad. I was disgusted.

might remind the jurors that Zimmerman did in fact lie in the interview. At least a couple of the jurors have been really avid note takers. That lie in the closing remarks might come back to bite Zimmerman.

Zimmerman lying on video. From his police statements, to his reenactment to Hannity, I think they showed his story is total bullshit.

Could open a sleaze factory. If their client is found guilty it's because "reasonable doubt" was hidden beneath the giant pile of lies.
