Bond hearing was a bad day for Zimmerman's prosecutors: It's hard to pick the lowest of the low, but the darker moments for the prosecution included: - The admission by co-lead investigator that he had not personally interviewed George Zimmerman; - the admission that he had not requested Zimmerman's medical records from the hospital; - the admission that the state has no evidence to contradict Zimmerman's claim that, following the advice of the police dispatcher, he headed back to his car; - the admission that the state has no evidence to contradict Zimmerman's claim that Martin assaulted first. - the admission that the investigtors have not been "given any insight" by the voice experts at the Orlando Sentinel and the FBI who attempted to identify the screams on the 911 tape (My ' told you so' moment). ..... O'MARA: The injuries seem to be consistent with his story, though, don't they? [ ABC pic] Dale; The injuries are consistent with a harder object striking the back of his head than his head was. O'MARA: Could that be cement? GILBREATH: Could be. O'MARA: Did you just say it was consistent or did you say it wasn't consistent? GILBREATH: I said it was. .... The prosecutor did offer this for a future "Great Moments In Cross Examination" video. The tpic was Zimmerman's belated apology to the Martin's parents: UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Why did you wait so long to tell Mr. Martin and the victim's mother, the father and mother, why did you wait so long to tell them? ZIMMERMAN: I was told not to communicate with them. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Ok. So even through your attorney, you didn't ask to do it right away? Your former attorneys or anything. ZIMMERMAN: I did ask them to express that to them. And they said that they were going to. Anybody can have a bad day. ..... It appears the prosecution's legal strategy is... (wait for it)... The Sneering Tone of Voice. Other than that I can't really see what he accomplished except to indicate to the judge he's a jerk. .... A comedy highlight - defense counsel O'Mara has co-lead investigator Gilbrath on the stand: O'MARA: Ok. Have you ever had your nose broken? GILBREATH: No. O'MARA: Have you ever had your nose fractured or broken. GILBREATH: No. O'MARA: You know that that was an injury that Mr. Zimmerman sustained, correct? GILBREATH: I know that that is an injury that is reported to have sustained. I haven't seen any medical records to indicate that. O'MARA: Have you asked him for them? GILBREATH: Have I asked him for them? No. O'MARA: Do you want a copy of them? GILBREATH: Sure. O'MARA: I'll give them to the state. It's a more appropriate way to do it. If you haven't had them yet, I don't want to cross you on them. .... http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2012/04/the-george-zimmerman-bail-hearing.html They can't contradict Zimmerman's self-defense claim. They haven't bothered to get Zimmerman's medical records to assess his injuries, which would obviously have bearing on his self-defense claim. This case isn't being brought based on evidence.
