Was the zimmerman homemade video permitted in Court? [View all]

I don't get to watch the Court case live and need to get my information from the recaps. I was watching Chris Matthews and saw them discussing/reviewing the zimmerman homemade, after the fact explanation, butterfly bandaides and all. Was this tape actually allowed??????

If this is true...then I see it as testimony without cross examination in my opinion. Trayvon has been silenced and can not give his account.

No idea, but I assume they do them as part of any murder investigation, when possible. Captain Stern Jul 2013 #4

I think the Prosecution allowing the video to be shown... Captain Stern Jul 2013 #7

Serino's a fact witness, not an expert witness. nt Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2013 #8

I'm not an expert, so I'll take your word for it. Captain Stern Jul 2013 #9

Well, except for the little point where he wanted to charge Zimmerman. Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2013 #10

Is the prosecution allowed to ask him about that? Captain Stern Jul 2013 #11

I honestly don't know if that's been precluded. Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2013 #12
