Why didn't Martin go home? Use your common sense. Did he want to lead defendant to the residence with 12 year old Chad (I'm pretty sure he said 12 year old).
I think Guy is just going through a punch list of items that he thought were best in defense closing. It's a bit repetitive, he's covering the "Zimmerman can't get the gun while pinned" argument again. I don't have the impression that Guy has some sneaky twist.
Guy covering the supposed failure to prove "didn't push gun into chest" by saying contact wound with shirt is the same thing as pushing gun into chest.
Guy predicts that jury will get instructions after lunch. Guy talks about burden of proof in a certain way (I don't remember the details) and O'Mara objected. Sidebar. Hopefully the last one of the trial. O'Mara won. Court will instruct the jury on the law.
One last thing (yeah, sure). Brought up by the defense. Race. This case is not about race, it is about right, and wrong. It is that simple. Ask yourselves, all things being equal, and 28 y/o Zimmerman was wearing a hoodie, and a 17 y/o called the police, and the 17 y/o had hate, and if Trayvon Martin who had shot and killed Zimmerman, what would your verdict be. Wow - that was the secret clincher! Pull out the race card. Quelle Surprise!
To the living we owe respect, but to the dead, we owe the truth. What do we owe Trayvon Martin? 16 years and 21 days forever. he was a son, a friend, a brother. The last thing he tried to do was get home. The self serving statements and lies, and hate in his heart, words that they can't now take back. The physical evidence refutes his lies, and the law that the judge is about to read, that applies to all of us, this is the truth.
Judge gives choice of instructions before or after lunch. Jury picks after.
