DLR asking when he listened to the yelling and why he didn't tell the state he was testifying about the call in their deposition.

Going over what he and wife have done for GZ $3000, plus another $1700 when he bought the suits for court.

Asks him why not listening to the 911 call, on purpose? Says he knew better.

Playing it now...he IDs GZ as one of the voices..

Donnelly says he believes it was #zimmerman screaming. "There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that's George Zimmerman."

Donnelly says he initially didn't want to hear 911 tape with screams because "it's distressing." #zimmerman

Donnelly on #zimmerman: "He is my dear friend. I think of him as a son."

Kyle Hightower ‏@khightower 1m
This trial is likely approaching an R-rating with the repeated playing of profanity on 911 tapes and by attorneys. #zimmerman

Kyle Hightower ‏@khightower 1m
Donnelly on familiarity with people screaming: "I've heard a 250-pound man sound like a little girl screaming."

OM back up...asking him when he heard the 911 call, not discussed with wife, not coloring testimony, is the truth and hard for him.

He's excused and judge asks them to approach the bench...

Court back in session...OM calls Doris Singleton; she has testified before for the state, was the first LE to interview GZ after the event and she no longer works for Sanford PD.

OM asks her if she remembers testifying before, yes. She was at the SPD when Tracy Martin came into the office. Objection, sidebar...now over...

OM asks the question? She says she was there when Mr. Martin came in to see Chris Serino, both were sitting at Serino's desk. objection, judge says she can describe what she saw but not what was said. OM tries to get around this a couple of time but is stopped by objection and judge each time.

She says the father was there for Serino to explain why an arrest could not be made at that time. OM again asks her what was his reaction and what did he say...stopped again....No cross by state, subject to recall....

Then Serino has left the court, sidebar, now he comes back.....

Back in session. Attys are at the judge's bench.
 
DLR cross, asking Serino about interview; did he tell the father that he would be listening to something shocking, did he react appropriately? yes

Serino also played the other 911 calls at the same time, did the father have a hard time, yes, it was a very emotional moment. After the gunshot, it was obvious it was when his son died. Asks if he tried to be sensitive to the father but had to ask him question, did he recognize the voice or was that your son's voice. He was hearing it for the first time.

OM asks purpose of visit of father, Serino says to update him on the case. He says he also played the 911 tape and what was the father's response. He was upset and he asked him if that was his son screaming on the tape, and Mr. Martin said in a low voice, no. His girlfriend/fiancée also present but did not say anything. Serino agrees the father could have meant he could not believe his son was dead.

OM asking if there was other evidence that indicated it was not TM crying? objection, overruled. Other officers had taken statements that it was GZs voice from John Gooding.

Kyle Hightower ‏@khightower 4m
On redirect, Serino says his understanding is that Tracy Martin was saying the voice on the call was not #trayvonmartin

DLR back for recross...asks Serino if ever had a recording that included the voices involved including the actual killing, not before.

Serino excused subject to recall...

He met GZ when came to gym to get in shape, put him on a diet and exercise. GZ also was learning 'grappling'. Asked how good he was; there is a difference between an accomplished athlete and a newbie...on scale of 1-10 what was GZ when he first started was a .5....after GZ was there for a year, he also trained for boxing. When he stopped coming to the gym after the incident. When he stopped training, he was about a 1. He was trying but did not have the background from childhood for athletics.

Note: Several empty seats in the public gallery this afternoon.

OM asks him about his response when Serino asked him if he recognized the voice on the 911. Says he did not say, it was not Trayvon. Said he kind of pushed his chair back and told Serino he couldn't tell who it was.

Did he ever tell anyone about changing his mind after listening to a cleaned up tape. Said he has never heard about or listened to a cleaned up tape.

Did he ever tell Trayvon's mother about hearing the tape. No, lot going on and lot of emotion. Did not tell her or family what they were going to hear at the mayor's office.

DLR on cross...Does he still find it hard to believe that his son is dead...yes, he has lost his best friend. He had gone down to PD to ID his son and they played the 911 calls made by neighbors. Showing him picture of TM, objections, sidebar, back to DLR cross. Doesn't think Serino played each call in its entirety. DLR asks about it being an emotional time, OM objects? overruled...when he heard this 911 call that had the crying and shot, what was going through your mind? He was listening to his son last cry for help and his life being taken, and coming to grip that TM was here no more.

Later, says he took the mouse and was listening to the tape over and over again. Trying to figure out why did the defendant get out of his vehicle and chase my son.

OM...do you believe the police lied about what you said; objection, judge said improper question; asked him if he instructed lawyer Crump to change what he said; he never instructed anyone to say anything. Same question again, same answer.

Retweeted by Kyle Hightower

Judge says OM admits the info was not given; the question is what is the prejudice to the state? Kept them from investigating witness further to find out when and how he listened to the tape, why he made the decision to not inform the state. Mantei brings out that supreme court has ruled on providing evidence to each party. OM arguing back on and on....Judge say defense did not supply to state but state has not proved prejudice, his testimony stays.

Next....West ....question about the TMs level of PHC being given to jury; we know the ME changed the level and said it could have had some affect.

State/Guy says this level is so small, is prejudicial and judge's prior ruling should stay.

Kyle Hightower ‏@khightower 2m
Defense arguing that it has a witness that says the amount of THC in #trayvonmartin system could cause impairment.

GZ had made observation that TM looked like he was on drugs.

Guy, not just that the substance exists, but the effect has to be proven and it has not been. Defendant said a lot of things about Trayvon that were not true. Defense is trying to back door some very poor character evidence.

Judge quotes another case that to not allow the evidence would be reversible error. Says state can cross examine the witness and call rebuttal; West says witness probably be sometime tomorrow..she will allow .....

Judge asks can't the jury determine that for themselves. OM says no he does not feel this jury has the background to decide how LE would react to the situation.

Guy...the witness may apply to LE but not to what defendant would do..

OM wants her to review the deposition...judge does not need to read it for that purpose, and court finds that allowing this witness to testify that GZs actions were reasonable is unreasonable...state/limini will stand...that leaves the animation..she asks if it is to be introduced as an exhibit and if so, will require a Doggert? hearing....OM is fluxed and asks for a break, law has changed since 7/1....

Still on recess... Bill S. says there was a deal between defense, state and judge..if you let the statements of what Mr. Martin said to LE about the tape stand, then the defense needs to call him and we can cross to see his own statement.

Bill says he is very dignified and soft spoken and what he said was very sad and emotional. OM has to be wondering was it worth it? When OM asked him if he thinks LE lied, it was totally improper question and objection was sustained. Cannot have one witness judge what another has said.

DLR may call Mr. Martin back as rebuttal witness also.

Back to court regarding the animation..OM talking about the new version. Judge asks state if there are still concerns..Guy says some have been removed but there remain objection J, what the change in version 2 and 3 is really based on..are we still relying on certain testimony, or what is basis of this.

O'Mara introduces Shoemaker to the Judge

Proscecution Mantei says State in same position, has new info and without adequate time to explore and develop.
Wants or needs more time with this witness.

The software, the depos so far probably meet Daubert purposes. Other objections by State are not based on Daubert.

Another new version of the software and no one told us. Hearing under Pierce case? Or opportunity to talk with Dr Shoemaker in a deposition?

Since he is at the Court, and is available, The Judge will allow further depo by State to be done this evening.

O'Mara now telling Judge how to arrange the morning schedule. Another proffer hearing needed tomorrow. Judge this hearing regarding Shoemaker, first thing in the morning.
Dr. DeMaio spoke to Shoemaker about how Bao and DeMaio said the shot angle was and Bernie just found out. O'Mara glossing it all over, saying poo, poo, doesn't really amount to anything.
Judge says State can ask Shoemaker what D'Maio said and go from there.

Judge calls attorneys to bench to discuss something.

6:40 EDT

Judge: Court is in recess until 8:30 in the morning. Dr Shoemaker if you will please stay for your deposition. That's All Folks!
