Manslaughter count added to Zimmerman charges

24. I Was Surprised To Hear

That manslaughter was not already a possible charge.

Finally, a good day for the prosecution. One of the items I have previously screamed about was that while each of the events the defense claimed happened could only happen sequentially and not in conjunction with one another. The prosecutors closing that asked how many hands did Martin have to be doing all of these things at the same time. Finally, they addressed the physical impossibility of Zimmerman's story.

Not addressed was the demo yesterday by O'Mara showing Martin on top slamming his upper body down on a hard surface. Two points, if Martin was grabbing Zimmerman's collar bone in order to do this the natural defense would be to grab the attacker by the wrists and tear the arms away, quickly ending the ploy. Two, just stiffen the back to prevent the lifting to even happen -- plus the person on the bottom could simply lift their head so the grappling going on would only involve pushing the shoulders to the ground and not the head. It was a huge mistake that the prosecution did not point these things out. Yes, the prosecution did point out that Zimmerman's claim did not include fighting back and how realistic that was but that was really lame.
