the witness on the stand now is that same gym owner we were just mentioning, adam pollack. this is the prosecution's cross-examination of the defense witness. by the way, there are 134 defense witnesses listed. but the lead defense attorney for zimmerman has said that he won't call all of them. hardly that. and that he hopes to rest by wednesday or thursday. and an important witness here. let's listen. >> i'm not going to start teaching somebody about strategy if they don't have the basic fundamentals. >> would they absorbed this or seen his or heard it talked about? any chance of that? >> there is a chance? sure. you can turn on the tv and figure some things out, but that's not something i'm going to teach a beginner as far as strategy if they don't have the bestic fundamentals. >> it's not a big advantage if you don't execute it properly or well. >> it's not going to do anything for you. >> could put you in a worse position. >> potentially. >> leaves you open for a counterattack. >> potentially. >> as far as grappling itself goes, you said that was actually what you start

adam pollack, he is the jim owner and trainer who sort of tried to set up for the purposes of these eventsrge zimmerman as a bit of a wimp. remember he testified that they did some boxing but he really couldn't do that. they did some other matters, gym stuff, that he was kind of fit but that he really couldn't defend himself that well. that is the case they are trying to make. they suggested, you may remember, these rebut a.m. witnesses won't last very long. there are two they want to call and third one the state wants to call in rebut a.m. they may or may not call that third one. that could be tomorrow. good money in this room, at least, the final two rebuttal witnesses on behalf of the state and a charging conference. judge alex. charging document is very important? >> charging conference is to go over the jury instructions that will be given based on the charges in the case. they will go over the jury instructions and any disagreements there are to the jury instructs will be resolved during the charging conference. when they get to that point, the judge doesn't have to take a break. she

call adam pollack. >> those big doors, the rebuttal case for the prosecution is adam pollack. who knows a lot about mma. he was the guy who actually trained george zimmerman. we heard from him earlier this week. if i'm not mistaken. unless it was last week. days are going by pretty fast. but he testified to the softness, the -- he was so guarded in the way he worded it. what did he say? he lost between 50 and 80 pounds. yes, he did well getting in shape. but, no, he wasn't a fighter. no, he wasn't good. it was really embarrassing. but, you know what? those are the ugly words you want to hear when you're a murder tdefendant. as they get ready to bring this witness up on to the stand to begin the rebuttal case, ryan smith, remind me. a rebuttal case has to be narrow, doesn't it? within the scope of everything that the defense already did. >> right. it's got to be rebutting the witnesses, the evidence, the defense already brought up. it can't be beyond that. it's got to stick within that. so this particular witness coming up, it's got to be rebutting his testimony. can't bring up

>> first one will be adam pollack. >> all right. can you tell us who the second one is going to be?> david lee. >> david? >> lee. >> thank you. >> okay. they had a third witness. >> they didn't know if they were going to call that person tomorrow or not. >> i have to ascertain his certain availability. i just haven't. >> when you find out tonight, would you please e-mail the defense and let them know so they can be prepared for that in the morning? >> yes, your honor. >> i know the state understands they are bound into rebuttal. mr. pollack testified before. i want to make sure this is not a re-examination of him but it is a rebuttal to a particular fact we presented in our case. >> if it's not, you're free to object and i'll rule. >> yes, your honor. >> are we ready to bring the jury in? >> if the defense is. >> yes, your honor. >> you need to rest in front of the jury. please bring the jury in. >> and we are watching some important developments here in the george zimmerman trial. lisa bloom, we just learned several things. number one, mr.ç zimmerman wil not testify, as he told th

the witness that we just saw on the stand there, adam pollack, he was on the stand longer than any other we've had today was on the stand, north of 50 minutes. it was also the first time today we saw the defense pursue what appears to be their next line of de defense, if you will. they devoted the bulk of the day to playing that 911 tape we've heard so many times to different people who said they were familiar with george zimmerman's voice and having each of those folks say that was, in fact, george zimmerman's voice. it was interesting, perhaps noteworthy that chris serino on cross-examination said when they played that tape for george zimmerman, george zimmerman said, that doesn't sound anything like me. so -- but again, what we just experienced there was the next line of defense. it'll be interesting to see where the defense goes at 3:35 when they come back from break. >> all right. craig melvin, thanks for that. let's go back to msnbc legal analyst lisa bloom. we've been dealing all day with the character issues. people coming up and saying who george zimmerman was. now we have someb

adam pollack, the man who trained zimmerman in kick boxing, told jurors he was not a fighter. >> he didn't was predominantly fat. not a lot of muscle. >> reporter: but legal analysts say that's not justification for zimmerman pulling the trigger. >> he did testify that george zimmerman was a cream puff. but the cream puff had a gun. >> reporter: this morning, we expect the focus to shift from those phone calls to forensics. a noted pathologist is going to be put on the stand. the defense has put 12 witnesses on the stand so far. they're flying through it. it is possible they could wrap up their case as early as today. the jury could get this case as early as the end of the week. robin? >> we'll see what happens. matt, thank you. >>> we're going to bring in abc's chief legal affairs anchor, dan abrams. a lot of attention, a lot of emphasis on the 911 call. tracy martin, trayvon's father, so emotional. how is this playing to the jury? >> the defense is calls witness after witness to say it was george zimmerman. even if this jury isn't sure, that's a win for the defense. that's reasonable dou

to demonstrate how a person could hold another down, adam pollack got on top of mark o'mara to show theury, but when describing his client's skill level -- >> he's still learning how to punch. he didn't know how to really effectively punch. >> on a scale of one to ten, where would mr. zimmerman fit? >> like i said, about a one. >> reporter: finally, judge debra nelson ruled that testimony regarding marriage levels in trayvon martin's system will now be admitted as evidence for jurors to consider. a critical ruling as this trial moves into day 11. >> reporter: and back to live pictures here in this courtroom in sanford, florida. you can see daniel schumacher making the case about what he does, explaining this technology, these crime scene reconstructions, and actually showing the judge, we do expect a ruling on that today, before the jury comes in to listen to more testimony. and wolf, also, there was another big ruling that came down yesterday about this evidence of marijuana use, marijuana levels in trayvon martin's system. that's something that the jury will now hear. this comes after
