To things very apparent to the jury should be:

1. I don't know if any jury can forget no matter what this witness said or how she said it GZ did what he did because of his actions.

2. GZ has spent a lot of time eating since his arrest.
No, you don't have to be a mind reader or a member of the jury to have an opinion. To be a member of the jury you have to consider the evidence presented, including the unfortunate testimony of Rachel Jeantel. No jury can 'forget..what this witness said or how she said it.' It is now part of the record. Yes, Mr. Zimmerman has gained a lot of weight. His attorney has addressed this issue by saying it is fear related stress.

His butt was not thinner. Actually, he was shorter and heavier than Mr. Martin. His gun did not have to be left behind. He had a permit to carry it.
He also had a right to be out of his car. He had a right to do everything he did that night IF he did not strike Mr. Martin. He says he was sucker punched and the jury will have to decide based on the evidence if that happened. If so, he had a right to defend himself if he thought his life was threatened.
