Skype Overload Interrupts Zimmerman Trial

Posted by timothy on from the do-you-have-prince-albert-in-a-can? dept.

MouseTheLuckyDog writes "Today during the George Zimmerman trial, an ex-professor of Zimmerman's was allowed to testify via Skype while on vacation. When setting it up the prosecution didn't have the sense to blank the destination account. The result, according to The Smoking Gun, was a flood of callers to the destination account resulting in the connection being terminated and cross examination being done on a cell phone in the witness box." Also at CBS News.

    This is an obvious case of self defense

    Yes, I too often "defend" myself by following and then chasing down my future assailant.

    Wow letting a witness "phone it in."

    They wanted to make sure the NSA got a transcript of it.
