direct examination by the State
cross by Defense

Cross examination and redirect of PA that Zimmerman went to. She is a State witness. That fact that the prosecutor tries to impeach his own witness on redirect tells me that the State has a piss poor case.

After watching raw footage, I have a hard time with TP's analysis. More accurately, their source's couple of paragraphs without explaining context.
I was stationed with a guy that was on the Chicago Seven jury. One thing he said he noticed was that the media reporting didn't match what was going on in court. The media and various started with a trial by media, being he is guilty of murder, without accurate information or even a fair trial. The dishonesty ranged from mis-explaining Florida's law to NBC editing the incorrectly called "911 tapes" since he didn't call 911. They did this for various reasons including making money off of the controversy and just plain laziness. They have a vested interest in maintaining that narrative even if it is untrue and leads to ugly consequences.
Remember, these are witnesses for the prosecution.

He's very articulate and precise. He is allowed to have discrepencies in his testimony.

That would be true if the prosecution were trying to put doubt in the minds of jurors
