He knows he's guilty and is under orders to be calm - it's not working - his own voice is scaring him.

I don't know about anyone else, but if I were sitting there after weeks of listening to someone trash me (true or not) day after day, I'd be stressed out too.

...where Zimmerman says that he wouldn't do anything different. After all he says it was all "God's plan"!!

Asshole has no remorse. No pity for Trayvon's parents. He's proud of what he did!!!

The point about stress had not been mentioned.

I have seen trials with the defendant smiling a lot even thought it was obvious they did not find the proceedings at all humorous. It was also a reaction to the stress.

The Defense will have to pull a rabbit out of the hat tomorrow because they really got exposed earlier today. Zimmerman's story just sounded so ridiculous...if a person believed his case, they'd think that Trayvon was a 4-armed boy and that Zimmerman is the weakest man alive, despite having at least a 40 pound advantage on him at the time.

The jury has NO reason to believe such a preposterous
claim.

Not the injuries, not any of the evidence.

the Prosecution being lame, not aggressive enough,
not challenging the witnesses, trying to throw the
case on purpose, on and on.. but

I kept getting the sense they did and DO view
it as open and shut, or nearly -- and have great
confidence in their case, the evidence, and the
common sense of the jury.

Often it appeared they were just biding their
time, letting the defense put out as much
bullshit as possible:

"all the better to eat you with, my dear"
