But I understand after reading some other threads that the tape was actually played in court today. I'm not a lawyer, but that doesn't make sense to me, because unless GZ takes the stand, nobody can question him on those statements. Of course, a lot of things about this trial don't make sense to me.

You understand that I'm speaking of evidence that was presented TODAY in court, to the jury? Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #20

Yes, there is a victim and an ACCUSED for every murder trial. You should see that movie. Honeycombe8 Jul 2013 #36

So you think of GZ as an ACCUSED? Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #38

It's not what I think. It is the law. He is an accused. Honeycombe8 Jul 2013 #42
