THE DEFENSE RESTS … George Zimmerman Will Not Testify in his Murder Trial in the Death of Trayvon Martin

The Defense has rested and defendant George Zimmerman will not testify in his own half in his murder trial.

George Zimmerman has officially decided to not testify in his own defense. Zimmerman stated to judge that it was his decision and no one forced him into making the decision. No one was really thinking that he would at this point as the prosecution has basically put on an extremely weak case and the Zimmerman defense team has pretty much made numerous  points for their side. The state had pretty much allowed Zimmerman to testify without cross-examination by the manner in which the prosecution presented certain evidence, i.e. the interview of George Zimmerman with Fox News Sean Hannity and the George Zimmerman reenactment of what happened the night of the death of Trayvon Martin.

Defense attorneys have rested their case in George Zimmerman’s second-degree murder trial after calling 18 witnesses over less than a week.

Prosecutors now plan to call two rebuttal witnesses. Both sides will then work on jury instructions before presenting closing arguments. The case is then sent to jurors.

Zimmerman never testified about the fatal struggle with Trayvon Martin, but jurors saw repeated video recordings of Zimmerman telling his story to investigators.

The prosecution will most likely rue the day they made this colossal mistake.
