So far, I still think that O'Mara could get away with calling no defense witnesses and have a chance of an acquittal. He's doing a damn good job on cross-examination. I don't know why O'Mara lets West talk, ever. The prosecution witnesses to date have not been difficult for O'Mara to turn into semi-defense witnesses.
I do, however, think that the prosecution has shown that George profiled and followed Trayvon. I think that will be even more evident when the state plays Zimmerman's previous 911 calls for the jury.
But, again, proving that George profiled and followed isn't gonna get the prosecution any conviction.
I still believe that the forensic evidence is where it's at. If the prosecution has strong incriminating forensic evidence contradicting George's version of events (and solid committed witnesses to present it), that's when the defense will have a crisis on its hands.
No matter what though, I don't think O'Mara's putting George on the stand. I'd bet on that. And, that's such a disappointment to me. The forensic evidence and George's testimony are what I've always thought would most help a jury render a verdict that reflects the truth of what happened on February 26, 2012.
