In the hope that conversation can be civil, I am re-opening discussion of this case because of evidence delivered in "discovery" to the defense team by the prosecution.
To wit:
The Zimmerman family physician wrote a report that says that Zimmerman had two black eyes, a broken nose and an injury to the back of his head the day after the killing. IMO the defense will offer the doctor as an expert witness. If he is accepted by the court he will be sworn to deliver his evidence about GZ's injuries
Also in "discovery is the medical examiner's report on the condition of TM's body. He reports the bullet wound and skinned knuckles consistent with a fight.
Also IMO, the court will send the case to trial and depending on the jury make up GZ may well be acquitted
In that event the federal government will charge GZ with violating TM's civil rights and will attempt to apply the Hate Crimes law to the trial. The Justixe Department is likely to lose in that trial, but they will try anyway.
I will close comments again if ugliness emerges here or to wait for further developments. pl
