And after today, Disneyland probably appears to be some what threatening.
Got to see more than usual today, but still had to miss some here and there.
This was in an LA Times write up; I missed it during testimony. Certainly not what O'Mara wanted to hear the 911 operator/witness say during the course of questioning him about George's following.
Under cross-examination, Noffke told defense attorney Mark O’Mara, “It’s best to avoid any kind of confrontation, to just get away from the situation.”
George could have just stayed in his truck. Still, the defense addressed that view from another angle by estimating that Trayvon had time to go back and forth to the home he was visiting 5 or 6 times, but instead chose to stay on the phone hiding, waiting to confront George (from West's opening statement; was a little hard to follow his time line).
West's opening was 5 times longer for the defense than Guy's was for the prosecution. I thought West went too long and was hard to follow. Didn't see Guy do the prosecution's opening this morning, but just watched the video; intense and emotional. He hit the major points rapidly.
Here's the prosecution's opening statement:
I think the prosecution had a much better first day than the defense, even disregarding opening statements.
West and O'Mara were pushing the judge's buttons all day and didn't really get anywhere during cross-examination of the state's witnesses, imo.
