It was a short one. Not a good day for Zimmerman. He looks WAAYY fatter and was forced to take deep long breaths during a break. Nelson has scheduled time for future hearings on January 8, and February 5.

  • Denied FDLE Files
    "Nelson denies O'Mara's request for the FDLE files, because he isn't sure what he needs. She says he needs to go to FDLE and look at their files to find out what he needs first."
  • Denied request to know if there are any other recordings of Crump and DeeDee
    Nelson says they need to depose Crump and ask him.
  • Granted a list of witnesses who heard the 911 call and if they identified the voices in the recording
    De La Rionda agreed and said he would release this information to the defense.
  • Denied an amendment to Zimmerman's bond restrictions
    Zimmerman will have to stay in Seminole county, and will have to continue wearing a GPS tracking device.

Some of the best moments from this hearing:

1. O'Mara says his client should be treated as a person who is accused, not convicted.

2. Prosecutor de la Rionda reminds the court that Zimmerman deceived the court, and says the defense attorneys would like to pretend that never happened.

3. Prosecutor de la Rionda says that the defense can't have it both ways, because they drum up all this publicity then complain he isn't safe. He asks the court why are we here today, to "sign autographs?"

4. Prosecutor de la Rionda says that nothing has changed since July when Zimmerman was released. He also wonders why Zimmerman is walking through the front door of the courtroom and appearing on TV if he is in danger.

5. O'Mara says he wants the case to go to trial, but wants his client to make it to trial hinting at the fact that Zimmerman's life is in danger.
