Defense Begins Closing Arguments in George Zimmerman Murder Trial in Death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, FL … “I call this case the bizzaro case, turned all upside down.” (VIDEO-LIVE FEED)

George Zimmerman defense closing Arguments:

The defense team began their closing arguments this morning in the George Zimmerman murder trail in the death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida. Defense attorney Mark O’Mara told jurors that prosecutors had not proven Zimmerman’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Instead the prosecution has based their case upon a series of hypothetical premises and assumptions. O’Mara then told the jury that, “If it hasn’t been proven, it’s not just there . You can’t fill in the gaps. You can’t connect the dots. You’re not allowed to.”

From the outset this case has been a “bizzaro” one. The prosecution has had so little evidence, so little absolute, irrefutable witnesses, recordings, videos, or any evidence what-so-ever to make a murder case or manslaughter for that fact that they have acted like the defense in trying to poke holes in the Defense theories and evidence, rather than proving beyond a reasonable doubt that George Zimmerman was guilty. Some how the standard for the prosecution and defense has been flipped in this case, because the State’s case is that weak.

Attorney Mark O’Mara told the jury in closing that the evidence in the case is factual evidence for George Zimmerman.

O’Mara showing the jury that the Prosecution has the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt

George Zimmerman’s defense attorneys began closing arguments at his second-degree murder trial in Florida on Friday by asking jurors to use “common sense” while considering evidence in the neighborhood watch volunteer’s fatal confrontation with 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Defense attorney Mark O’Mara pleaded with the all-female, six-member jury to not “fill in the gaps” or “connect the dots” while considering a verdict in the case. O’Mara said Zimmerman, 29, acted in self-defense when he fatally shot Martin on Feb. 26, 2012.

“You can’t help but have a first impression,” O’Mara told jurors, who could begin deliberating later Friday. “What you have to do is be vigilant, diligent in deciding this case.”

Attorney O’Mara went on to say that the “evidence in the case only proves Zimmerman’s “pure, unadulterated innocence. He’s not guilty of anything but protecting his own life.”

O’Mara: Reasonable doubt can come from lack of evidence, or conflict of evidence. #GeorgeZimmerman doesn’t have to prove anything.

#zimmermantrial O’MARA: Because burden is on the State. Want to take someone’s liberty, State has to prove it.
