Air Marshal and friend of Zimmerman's who wrote a book about the case, testifies on Tuesday, July 2.
He recounted the story of the shooting that Zimmerman told him and testified that when he took Zimmerman home from the police station after the shooting, Zimmerman wasn't acting like himself.

Mora lived in Zimmerman's neighborhood at the time of the shooting. Lauer called on the night of the shooting.

Assistant state attorneys John Guy, left, and Richard Mantei hold up Martin's sweatshirt as evidence during Zimmerman's trial on June After Martin's death, protesters started wearing hoodies in solidarity against racial profiling.
Mantei asked whether variables including exact spacing of the bodies, length of arms, and the distance of the gunshot to the clothing was accounted for in the animation. Arguing before the judge, Mantei said that the animation was a "supposition inside a riddle wrapped in an enigma," and "arguments masquerading as evidence. Defense attorney Mark O'Mara argued that there were "frailties" to the animation, but that it was consistent with the evidence presented to the jury. Nelson expressed some concern with allowing the animation to be introduced into evidence and sent back with jurors as they deliberate.
She said she would rule on the issue Wednesday. Please enter email address to continue. Di Maio also explained that if clothes taken into evidence are wet and packaged in plastic bags, and not paper bags, it can ruin the samples since "bacteria multiplies and you get mold and it stinks to high heaven".
Defense attorneys believe DNA evidence found on Martin's hooded sweatshirt and undershirt was degraded since the clothing wasn't packaged properly. Earlier in the morning, Judge Debra Nelson considered a request from prosecutors to bar the defense from showing animation depicting the fight between Martin and Zimmerman.
Nelson held an evidence hearing with jurors out of the courtroom, but ultimately postponed her decision and more arguments on the matter until later in the afternoon. Prosecutors object to the animation, saying it isn't an accurate depiction.
Defense attorneys called the man who created the animation to testify. To recreate the fight, Daniel Schumaker went to the crime scene and had employees in motion-capture suits re-enact what happened based on coroner photographs, police reports, the coroner's report, witness depositions and photos taken by responding police officers, he said. The fight took place on a dark, rainy night in February and there were no eyewitnesses who saw the entire fight.
Several witnesses saw and heard parts of the struggle that left Martin dead with a bullet in his heart.
