The audio on this video is not good.   However, it is understandable if you turn your volume up to 100%.

Analogy – George Zimmerman Does NOT Need Mitch Daniels – George Zimmerman Needs Chris Christie.  Or at least Atticus Finch

Why does Mark O’Mara “parse” his words.?    “Broken”/”Fractured” et al.  The defense attorney’s job is to be a STAUNCH advocate for his client George Zimmerman.   The prosecuting attorney a staunch advocate for the State Of Florida.

This closing presentation at the bond hearing by O’Mara is not a skilled trial lawyer presenting the narrative of his client story.   Mr. O’Mara is representing an intellectual narrative of events but there is one severe problem.  He is not fighting intellectual opposition – He is fighting ’emotional’ opposition.
As with all the previous media interviews, Mr. O’Mara continues to reflect the “above it all,” “I’m taking the high road” persona.    In my humble opinion that is great, except at the end of the day George Zimmerman will remain in jail, and lose at trial with this approach.
Perhaps the reason Mark Nejame recommended O’Mara to Zimmerman is beginning to surface.
O’Mara is a really nice guy, he has a firm intellectual grasp of the law, he is well-respected for his intellect and judicial cognition by his peers, and I am certain his motions are eloquently written and skillfully articulated.   He is, quite simply, a lawyer’s lawyer.   But the flip side to all this intellectual brilliance is he is the most disconnected from relating to a jury made up of ordinary minded citizens.   ‘He just don’t know how to speak to average’.
He is extremely poorly rehearsed in his presentation, his summary here reflects exactly that.  Actually, given this bond hearing summary,  I doubt he rehearses one bit for his presentation(s) or oral arguments until perhaps he is in front of a jury.  If he does practice, he has a lousy memory.  O’Mara continues to showcase a remarkable disconnect from emotion which some view as great self-control, but as a lawyer he does not exude confidence.  These two issues, lack of emotion and seemingly uncomfortable advocacy, create a dangerously unappealing defense.
Previously I refrained from opinion on O’Mara, but after watching his approach to the various case issues I think George Zimmerman would be better served with a different attorney taking lead.  However, I doubt seriously that O’Mara’s pride or ego would accept such a necessity; after all he is brilliant and stuff…..
