49. I'll tell

you what, if I was leading the prosecution, I would not have made Detective Serino or John Good my witnesses considering the information known in this case. I would have considered him a hostile witness to the prosecution and placed his investigation on trial. The simple fact, is he didn't want to charge Zimmerman at all and he only considered bringing charges of manslaughter because he accused other officers within the Department of pressuring him to bring charges. I would have asked him why did he dismiss himself as the lead investigator to the case.

That is the line of questioning that I would have asked him if the defense bought him up as their witness. Now that I know more information about his questioning of Zimmerman and Good. I understand, that Zimmerman, gave statements to an ex Seminole police officer he stayed with after the shooting. I would have called him instead of Serino as the prosecution witness regarding those statements.

If the information is correct that Zimmerman told this officer, that he made eye contact with two witnesses, when he called for help, assuming one was John Good, those would be inconsistent statements from Zimmerman and it would put John Good's testimony in doubt about what he saw.

Furthermore, I would ask that officer about his friendship with Zimmerman and did he actually attend the investigation with Detective Serino and Zimmerman on the re-enactment of the events.

Then I would question Detective Serino about it, and why he didn't want to bring charges against Zimmerman, including his allegations about pressure from other officers. I would also question him about his testimony to the FBI about why he thought Zimmerman thought Trayvon Martin was suspicious because of his clothing attire. That is when I would have bought in racial profiling versus his clothing attire and how he came to the conclusion about gangs being associated with Martin's attire. Did Zimmerman mention anything about gangs to him, and how would he know about the clothing attire of gangs in the area? I would also ask Detective Serino what gangs in the Sanford area, that he can identify for wearing hoodies. I would also ask him about the phrase MMA style and did Good offer that description on his own or did he suggest it to him. That is the line of questioning I would have took, and if the defense objected, I would have asked the judge again to make a ruling on racial profiling based on Detective Serino's conclusions it wasn't and why he made those conclusions. I would have set the stage, that detective Serino might had been shoring up the weaknesses in Zimmerman's defense and Zimmerman had more of a relationship with local law enforcement than most ordinary citizens of Sanford. It would have also opened the door, about racial allegations from the Black community in Sanford and police officers covering for friends of the police. I would have also asked him about two other witnesses, concerning a 13 year old boy and his mother that witnessed or had something to add to the events on that night concerning Zimmerman's accounts and why they weren't called for the defense. If Johnny Cochran was the prosecutor, I think he would have won this case.
