Admitting a past act of violence by tubbie . . .
Seems only fair to do the same with Skittles, too.
I may be wrong but is it because Z had that one witness who testified to his character after her home invasion? There haven't really been any T character witnesses...right?
I think you're right. The defense opened the door to character issues many times with its witnesses.
It makes sense, to me, that the act of violence/anger would therefore be allowed in to rebut. I just heard Nancy Grace talking about how Zimmerman was ordered to pre-trial intervention (anger management) as a result of that assault charge as well.
Nobody's gotten up and testified about Trayvon Martin's good acts or good character and, as far as I know, Trayvon Martin has no criminal record.
Just speculating; don't know the specific legalities as they apply to this case. We'll see what the attorneys and judge have to say about it tomorrow.
If the witness testifies, sure hope he doesn't seem as reluctant and ill-prepared as some of the other prosecution witnesses.
