    Start at 17:20.

    Zimmerman says "I walked towards him". So much for Martin "jumping out of the bushes" and then "surprising him".

      This is something I don't understand about our legal system.

      I remember watching the forensic ME, who discussed his qualifications for two hours. He was clearly over qualified and the longer he sat there on the stand the more money he was paid. He said he was charging some $200 an hour or something like that. And while I listened to him ramble on... I started to wonder how many other medical examiners they talked to before settling on him. The defense interviewed ten or twenty medical examiners with similar qualifications, and they picked the one that saw the things the way the defense wanted AND looked presentable in court. But wouldn't this be a biased opinion? He is an expert, but an expert on the payroll of the defense, and they most likely had to speak to a dozen candidates and it's possible that not all candidates agreed with the defense's version of what happened.

      Doesn't this make everything this "expert" says suspect?

      Why doesn't the court hire an expert, split the costs between both sides, and no one gets to speak to him (her) before they testify. This way we know this is an expert that has been hand selected and isn't working for either one side.

        Please read MY REQUEST again: the original tape is online, post a link to the one that the Prosecution kept starting and stopping if it is not one I posted. Please.

        In other words, I do not want the stop and go version with the Prosecutor inserting his commentary. Post the original.

            I have Always wondered this myself.
            An attorney friend told me the reason the court doesn't hire a third party is BOTH sides choose what expert they use, so it equals out... lol That each expert knows which side they are being paid by.

            A third person would confuse the jury even more.

            He had several other reasons, but I don't remember them this was back in 1994 ----

              The court is impartial. The court does not appoint witnesses. That would not be impartiality.

              Each side calls their own witnesses and each side has the opportunity to tear those witnesses apart. Thats about as fair as it can be.

                I don't have original. I didn't know about the audio recording until the closing arguments. I spent enough time trying to track this down and locate exactly where the statement is; I am not about to do it again because you don't like the stop and go version.

                Zimmerman has contradicted his version of the story - in one he "walked towards Martin" and in the other Martin "jumped out of the bushes and surprised him".

                  But if you have two "expert witnesses" who claim the evidence say different things... They just confused everyone.

                    i was reading in an article, i think, about the woman who shot herself in the leg claiming someone stole her baby or something and the invesstigators these days seem to think a suspect is generally telling the truth if their story does change. apparently the thinking is that if the suspect has a rock solid recollection of what happened, that is pre-conceived.

                    i don't know, but that was the rationale.

                      But that is exactly what I am saying - the so called experts being called in are not impartial at all. Instead, they are hand selected because they re-enforce what one side wants the jury to hear.

                      Why doesn't the court locate and hire an impartial expert? And both sides shouldn't be able to talk to him (her) until questioning at the trial. The expert needs to be impartial, not backing up one version or another.

                        they still tell the truth. it's up to the jurors to make their own determination.

                          I am asking for the unedited version, that's all . . . the actual evidence . . . the edited video you saw during closing argument is not evidence. Sorry.
