O'Mara and his foam fighting buddy

I remain really pissed at the way O'Mara demonstrated slamming that foam dummy's head against the floor. First, it was a LOT of force, and easily done with a fucking foam Zimmerman. I'd like to see him try it with the REAL Zimmerman, even the one from a year ago.

Second, and really more important for now: I'd like to see that same demonstration on WET GRASS (yes, if you can bring concrete in then you can also bring in a patch of wet muddy grass). Put some light colored pants on and now repeat that demonstration.

Let's see your knees O'Mara.

In some ways I hope there is a mistrial/hung jury so the next trial can be conducted by prosectors that actually might want to win the case.

and know all about grass stains. Sit on wet grass with light colored clothing? No thank you.

Apply the same force that O'Mara demonstrated and the ONLY way you accomplish it is by DIGGING in your knees. Try it! That's why I want that demonstration done. How difficult would it have been for the State to do that? Easy, very easy.

His injuries don't reflect the force that was used in the demonstration. It could easily bring his claim of multiple head bashings into sharper focus for the jury.

of Zimmerman's face and head picking out every little tiny and even invisible speck or ding. The longer he carried on with that the more obvious it became how insignificant his injuries were and how unbelievable his claims as to how he got them were. He was a dolt to do that. All it did was show what a liar Zimmerman was.

Both the kids and Pros wear helmets. I have seen many a child, and of course Pros, hit their head on the ice ONCE and get a concussion, while wearing a specially designed helmut.

Life experience. I hope this jury uses their own life experiences when it doesn't add up to what the attorney is saying.

they showed the pants - stained or otherwise - of either Zimmerman or Trayvon. Do you know?

Around the knee area of Martin's pants was a little bit of dirt or grass stains. However, the photo of him lying on the ground dead face up after they tried CPR on him showed no dampness in the knee area of his pants. The lighting was bright though, but even still I would have expected there to be obvious dark wet patches even with the lighting.

He was also wearing very white sneakers where the toes (what you could see of them) showed no dirt or grass or anything while a photo of Zimmerman at the police station showed dirt and grass bits all over the toes of his boots.

That's how it accidentally got shown on TV; they showed what the jury was seeing. I believe 6 women can draw the obvious conclusion from how clean Trayvon's pants were.

I don't know if they brought the actual pants into the courtroom as part of the evidence.
