The defense says the defense usually does that but in this case he's going to prove what happened even though it's not done. #Zimmermanon9

The defense told the jury he's worried about a "compromise" verdict because manslaughter is also a possibility. #Zimmermanon9

O'Mara used #Zimmermanon9 as a "prop" to say he fears they might assume he did something wrong because he is charged with a crime.

The defense has what looks like a life-sized cut out of #Zimmermanon9 and Martin.

The state gets the last word with jury since it has the burden if proving its case beyond every reasonable doubt. #Zimmermanon9

Jury is coming in. #Zimmermanon9
