Prosecutor Mantei says defense expert has created "animated depiction" that has created more admissibility issues. #zimmerman

Defense attorneys now here. O'Mara apologized for being 30 sec late

#zimmerman has arrived. Still no defense lawyers. Judge in. Court in session.

Judge set an 8:30 hearing for state's motion to block/limit defense expert computer animation recreation of shooting.

911 calls becoming heart of #Zimmerman trial (from @AP) #trayvonmartin http://m.apnews.com/ap/db_268748/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=9KU02Gma …
 
Prosecutor Mantei has given his reasons for not allowing the animation evidence and OM is now arguing for it. Says based on John Good's testimony and information from Dr. de Maio the animation shows the angle/distance of the gunshot. He's not certain why the state is against it since they have not provided anything different. They took out some animation and replaced it with a still. Judge says to call your witness.

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 2m
The defense expert says #Zimmermanon9 's gun was 2-4 inches away from Martin when he fired the deadly shot.

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m
The state objects.. and is trying to keep out the animation.. arguing it's inaccurate. #Zimmermanon9

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 44s
A hearing on the defense animation is starting. Defense expert Daniel Shoemaker, who created it will testify. #Zimmermanon9

Kathi Belich, WFTV Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m
The defense says it's based on the state witness testimony of the only eyewitness to the fight before the shooting. #Zimmermanon9

OM asks about his business and when he started, 26 years ago, did work for businesses, information graphics, education, employment background.
He draws and uses software and now has gone into 3D.
Uses software called Airstream 60.

Kyle Hightower ‏@khightower 3m
Judge says she wants to have admissibility hearing. Defense calling animation creator now.

The defense expert says he uses "motion capture" suits to simulate what happened at a crime scene. #Zimmermanon9

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 4m
The motion suits are also used in medical applications to monitor a patient's progress. #Zimmermanon9

Kathi Belich, WFTV ‏@KBelichWFTV 1m
He can map the movements of the people involved by programming the recreated movements into their size measurements. #Zimmermanon9

He gives an example of a previous case when someone tried to pull a man out of his truck and he shot him. OM asks him where he gets the data to determine the movements of the people. Uses height, weight, he has a figure that he sizes to the size he needs. Weight is more the appearance in pictures.

Another sample...is going to show it on the overhead. Getting this started.
It's not coming up. OM suggests they approach the judge and she can see it on the computer screen.

Shoemaker is about to show judge an example of an animation he's done previously. #zimmerman

Kyle Hightower ‏@khightower 1m
Due to issues with projection the attys are taking laptop to judge's bench for her to see. Gallery is left out of show.

Mantei is watching the computer next to the witness. Judge says 'thank you'.
OM asks was the software different for that case and the Zimmerman case?
He has gone through 3 classes for the software, 1 required, that he uses for LE. Lexology and Moto are other softwares he uses, take all the data bring it into it and create an animation. He can take a photo from flying above the scene and get a total measurement of the scene.

Note: W/ few exceptions Prosecutor Richard Mantei has handled evidence/witnesses dealing with technology/expert matters for state

For 13 years he has worked on criminal cases. First time used in court? 2009. He uses motion capture suit to recreate the movements. Put on the suit and records his movements, matching the victim's movements and put on the rod to show the direction of the shots. Calibrates the computer at the beginning.

Kyle Hightower ‏@khightower 37s
Shoemaker says first time he created animation for a court case was 2009.

Kyle Hightower ‏@khightower 24s
Motion capture. ARAS360. Total Station. Drones to take images. This is starting to sound a little too much like Skynet for me.

He comes in after the event so has to rely on information from LE, uses photographs of scene, people involved, etc. [So, you must trust that LE got the right information? I'm not sure SPD did this.] He has also worked on movies, Ironman...

The defense expert says he has also used animation to determine the positions of two people involved in another shooting. #Zimmermanon9

OM asks witness about how many cases he has testified to in court, about
20. He has a list, OM asks Mantei if he wants a copy, Mantei says he has one. Has worked on 59 criminal trials, 21 civil. For DOJ, shootings, stabbings, vary quite a bit.

This case is different because not a lot of opportunity to have live audio like in the TM case. He used discovery from DAs office, audio, police reports, questioning at LE (depositions), ME reports, etc. used to create animation, made 2 visits to the scene.

[That Trayvon was leaning over GZ]

On the question of TM still being alive after the shot, the Dr. tells West that if I grabbed you now and ripped out your heart, you could stand there and talk to me for a few seconds because the brain is not dead yet. It's different for some people who may drop at once.

For TM, a healthy young man who just engaged in a struggle, the heart rate was up, every time the heart beats the blood comes out of the wound, if he loses a tablespoon of blood, in 15 seconds he loses a lot of blood, he will be dead in 1-3 minutes, would be conscious a shorter time.
