Attorney Mark O'Mara: A really good defense attorney.
Attorney Don West: Not so good. Appears to be out of his league.
Prosecutors: Not sure if they believe in their case or not. They sure have been helpful to the defense throughout the trial.
I'll bet that the jury will be allowed to convict on a lesser charge and Zimmerman will get a few years in prison. This way the state may avoid riots in the streets. Isn't that a sad commentary on our justice system?

Probably guilty of something, what would that be? This entire trial is about whether he committed a crime, I don't see any crime committed. TM committed the crime when he hit GZ in the nose and jumped on him while on the ground.
I agree with you about the Judge.
In fact, Judge Nelson has tried so hard not to be the next 'Judge Ito', that she has bent over backwards with her rulings favoring the state. Even with that said, I don't see a conviction because it's just not there. Even though the Sanford Police didn't get to finish their investigation, it's like what Sheriff Lee said, they didn't arrest GZ because no charges were justified. However, the outside agitators ran Lee out of office and got the these bogus charges.
I've been watching trials on Courtv or other channels since they first became televised many years ago. Whether it was Scott Peterson or Jodi Arias.
Attorney Don West has been one of the best cross-examiners I've seen. His slow and laid-back style allows the listener time for his question to soak in, and makes the respondent answers confirm his point. Just because West gets into confrontations with the Judge doesn't make him bad. Both West and Mark O'Mara are excellent and if I was ever in need of a defense attorney, they would be my first choices.
