The "following at a safe distance" is an attempt to head off the "harassment" charge that would make it impossible for a self-defense kind of legal defense.
Down here, the "water-cooler topic" is the insulting and low class joke of the defense atty.
Down here, the pros are looking good for their succinct presentation.
Down here, some are wondering why did the defense ever agree to getting the jury from Seminole county in the first place. Along with the stupidity of the defense atty, maybe they are aiming for a mistrial or maybe a new trial in the future if zim is convicted, based on the impossibility of an untainted jury from Seminole and bad legal representation.
These are the things I've thought and heard.
Oh and the other thing is that some are saying that it was after listening to the other calls that zim made that made them think that he was paranoid, or in other wise, not in a good mental state to be armed and pulling an unofficial neighborhood watch tour.
He was paranoid. He was armed. He followed and confronted a 17 year old that was guilty of nothing wrong.
The 17 year old "beat the stuffing" out of him and so zim killed him.
The defense "zim's parents are grieving but they can't be here because of the security" was a play on the emotions. Heard that too.
