However, if I understand correctly, Serino's job is to find out what the facts are in cases like these. I'ts what he does for a living. And I'm assuming that he's somewhat competent at it, considering his position.

He's stated that he believes Zimmerman's story (after questioning him personally), despite the perceived inconsistencies. Zimmerman may well have been lying, but the Prosecution is never going to get the chance to question him.

Is the prosecution allowed to ask him about that? Captain Stern Jul 2013 #11

I honestly don't know if that's been precluded. Tommy_Carcetti Jul 2013 #12
