Zimmerman Trial

What's next?

After five days of testimony in the trial of George Zimmerman, they finally got around to the eyewitness who saw Trayvon Martin on top of George Zimmerman, and the "guy on top in the black hoodie was pretty much just throwing down blows on the guy [Zimmerman] kind of MMA-style"....."like a Ground-and-Pound on the concrete" with "a Hispanic guy with a red sweatshirt on the ground yelling out help." The bulk of the physical evidence presented throughout the week support Zimmerman's statement to police, and the eyewitness's testimony, beyond any reasonable doubt. 

Why doesn't the court call a graceful halt to this charade? Apparently, because it's a charade with a motive, brought to you at the enormous expense of George Zimmerman and Florida taxpayers—for the purposes of identity politics and placation.

Based upon the prosecution's "case" thus far, the only thing that they have left is to propose that George Zimmerman is responsible for starting the fight—even though it's obvious that he didn't do that. What else can the prosecution do at this point? 

I guess that we will just have to wait until Monday to see the answer to that question.
