walking while black - Trayvon Martin

What mistakes do you think they've made?

I'd have to rack my brain for several specifics but overall, I don't think they're asking the questions correctly to get the answers they want from the witnesses. They're just not very forceful.

One thing...I didn't see the testimony from the teacher that taught George's class but I heard a snip where he was talking about when a reasonable person might fear for his life....not so much during the day but perhaps more so on a dark night. I hope that the prosecution on redirect would have said something to the effect of "if you perceived that a stranger was following you on a dark, stormy night for 8 minutes, could that cause a reasonable person to be in fear for their life..."? Or something to that effect.

The other thing is O'Mara does seem to lead the witnesses. Granted, I'm not anywhere near an expert but it seems like the prosecution could have made some objections in that regard. Maybe not. IDK.
