O'Mara should call a medical witness or maybe two to testify about the possibility of concussion from head injuries. To counter the silly testimony of Corey's pet ME from Jacksonville. Head injuries are nothing to minimize. BTW when the prosecution argues in closing that minor differences in Zimmerman's story from time to time mean something, there should be testimony that concussions can cause memory difficulties. All in all, it seems like Zimmerman did a good job describing the incident - because it jives with eyewitness testimony and the physical evidence - but insignificant variations don't mean much.

Cognitive or mental symptoms can include confusion or impaired cognition, [25] problems with attention, [18] impaired judgment, [13] and amnesia or other problems with memory, especially short-term memory. [5] Problems with memory and attention are the longest-lasting cognitive symptoms; [18] one in four people with PCS still suffer from memory problems a year after the injury. [5] PCS may cause slowed information processing and reactions to stimuli [5] or difficulty with abstract thinking [21] or problem solving. [17] People may also experience a decrease in abilities related to work performance or social interaction. [22] While cognitive symptoms usually resolve within a few months of injury, physical and emotional symptoms can last longer. [26] Most cognitive symptoms clear within half a year of the injury, and the longest-lasting ones, such as memory, attention and language problems, usually resolve within a year. [5]
