If you're going to use Skype for testimony at the highest-profile trial in years, you should probably know the first thing about Skype first.  Nice lawyering.

Not specifically to this particular fuck up by the prosecution but to the totality of them.
Judge Nelson order a directed verdict please.

And yes, I know it's not going to hai.

Not going to hai, but why should it?

Have you actually been watching this trial?

No.

Than you are not aware that the prosecution has brought nothing forth that would show that Zimmerman violated any Florida self defense law.

I don't read Zorn regularly, but I thought this was a solid, reasonable take.

In regards to Zorn's comment about who was getting the worst of the fight...
From a self defense attorney:

The very idea that the State is seeking to establish–that self-defense is conditional upon actually suffering serious injury–is, of course, ridiculous on its face. The purpose of the law of self-defense, particularly in the context of the use deadly defensive force, is to be able to protect yourself from an imminent threat of death or grave bodily harm before that harm occurs, not to require that you actually experience death or grave bodily harm before you may act to protect yourself.

This is why I asked. It's legitimately to the point of calling for a directed verdict? Because that's not exactly a common thing.
