Judge disallows Video but says it may be used as a closing argument.

No big deal. I think that is better for the defense as it can not be crossed.

Not like they need it. They could stop now and just got "come on people you got to be shating me" go vote.

O'Mara and West have gotten their arses handed to them by the court this morning. The animation and the cell phone records are out. All that time and money spent for nothing.

Updated 10:30 a.m. (CBS/AP) SANFORD, Fla. -- After extensive arguments from defense attorneys and prosecutors, a central Florida judge has ruled that Trayvon Martin's cellphone texts on fighting and a defense animation depicting the fight between Martin and George Zimmerman won't be introduced as evidence at Zimmerman's trial.

It was actually fairly clear last night that the motions to introduce this fantastic animation that was at least in part based on items not in eviodence or the cell phone records that could not be authenticated would be denied. I posted as much here on the board. And I was right. Again.

Another defense witness calls Zimmerman a wimp. Never should have gotten out of the car.

"40 seconds is not a lot of time."

"Forty seconds is an eternity."

I wish he would make up his mind.

i know lots about authenticating cell phone records and texts. I wonder ####### was the problem with VonMartin's cell phone?

Overly prejudicial based on pretrial ruling.

Overly prejudicial based on pretrial ruling.

Actually, the issue at arguments last night was authentication - or the lack thereof. As the judge said, how can the court know for certain that the messages were indeed authored by the vidctim? Now I don't know what the actual reasoning was for her to deny the motion but it would seem to me that the authentication issue is what knocked the cell phone records out.

Crowing about being right in a post in which you are so wrong. Video can be played as part of closing argument. We never thought cell phone video was going to be as admitted. The prosecution has been owned the whole trial and every one of your wild gz must be guilty at all costs have been proven wrong. You are delusional

Oh, I am right. You are wrong. Clearly. The video is NOT allowed into evidence. That is what the defense tried to achieve last night - to get it admitted into evidence. That is clearly NOT happening. This means the jury will not have it available during deliberations nor can it be part of the deliberations. The defense failed in their effort. Same for the cell phone records. They tried to get them into evidence and they failed in that attempt as well. These are the facts.

Defense witness used by Prosecution to demonstrate a big contradiction in Zimmerman's story - how did he have access to his holstered gun with Martin straddling him?

I don't recall the 'cell phone video' you speak of.

Judge sustained her prior ruling.

It is NOT in evidence. Not sure what is so hard to understand about that. The jury cannot consider it in their deliberations. It's nothing but an animation of what the defense wants to make the jury believe. There's no evidence supporting at least some of that animation. That's the main reason why it is not allowed into evidence - it's a fabrication not based on trial evidence. And yes, it was an epic fail for the defense who probably spent a lot of time and money on that thing that is now worthless.

Interesting.
