Bernie's closing because he asked questions.
Bernie impeached Z's testimony by using Z's own words and was able to demonstrate Z had prior intent.

but i don't know if anyone else has noticed this. but it seems it's mostly men who sympathize with zimmerman. i'm not saying all men do but those who do are mostly men.
and those who are most passionate and angry at zimmerman are women.

(5,141 posts)She called me up early in the trail mocking that poor girl. She thinks he's a martyr. I said "good, as long as he gets hanged".

(15,694 posts)State probably investigated jurors (as both sides do, so don't even start with me, GZ defenders) and found some or all of them are registered Republicans who probably voted for both Bushes every time and watch FOX News to learn what they're supposed to think.
I'm just yanking chains with the Bush voter stuff, but it's easy to find out the demographic makeup of that part of Florida.

(535 posts)up till that part I thought he was good. Then he blew the whole thing by showing slide after slide of text. WTF?
And why did breeze right over the "screaming ended with the gunshot"? He should have played the tape. Replayed GZ's testimony about having the hand on his mouth and then shooting him. Then replayed the tape of the screaming ending with the gunshot. Then the last words should have been "Trayvon Martin is dead".
