She didn't answer, but I would assume Assistant State's Attorney and (Assistant) Attorney General.

I would never say "just no way." Best practices should never be confused with possible practices.

That's why any defense attorney worth his salt will offer up a strong cross examination which will leave the jury wondering who is being truthful here. Certainly no one is going to convict based on the word of a teenage girl whose boyfriend was shot shortly after he hung up the phone with her.
It won't be her word against Zimmerman's because as I mentioned, I would be shocked if Zimmerman testifies.

I consider his defense team to have done a fine job to date.
I'd be shocked if they called him.

going all "ad hominem" doesn't obscure the fact that you didn't (couldn't) answer my question.

It was a silly question.
People lie in court to get their way. Perjury ain't rare. The end.
I would never knowingly allow a client to lie on the stand and would disclose to them that if they do, I have a duty to inform the court of my client's perjured testimony. The fact is though that most folks don't warn their lawyers before or after they lie on the stand. Try representing a few meth heads and you'll start to get the picture.

I thought it was a rhetorical question.

Clearly not.
I stand by my 'ad hominem' attack.

Sure, but you being shocked =/= no way it's going to happen, especially since the bottom line is it's his choice, not theirs. I've been suprised enough times at what happened in the cases of very competent counsel that I've learned never to say never.

Well, also, "no way it's going to happen" =/= "almost no way it's going to happen." I may have carelessly stated "no way" once, but I've been pretty consistent otherwise.
I obviously am not claiming to have the power to predict the future. I will say that the odds of Zimmerman testifying are somewhere between slim and none though which is a lot like saying almost no way it's going to happen.

George Zimmerman is suing NBC. He alleges that they doctored the 911 call. According to records, the dispatcher asked Zimmerman if the other person (Trayvon Martin) was "white, black, or hispanic". Zimmerman replied that the "He looks black". NBC News aired the call as Zimmerman saying, ""looks like he's up to no good. He looks black." editing out the dispatcher's inquiry.
