Is the Zimmerman prosecutor throwing the case?

16. The prosecution is getting on my last nerve.

I don't think that their case is as well organized as it should be. I (and granted I am not an attorney) would have focused on a set number of points that just cannot be argued or disputed. I would keep coming back to those points and hammer away at them. I would also have had a better idea of how my witnesses would look on the stand. Too many witnesses have ended up being better assets for the Defense. You don't have to "coach" witnesses to drill home that they are not forensic scientists, they should not speculate on what they have no direct knowledge of, and they should stick to testifying only about what they do know. When a witness starts to go in the direction of being a surrogate for Zimmerman they should go right to the heart of why the jury should not buy Zimmerman's story. The DA should have been ripping apart Zimmeran's story.

I would have made sure that Martin's girl on the phone had an attorney to look out for her best interests in order to educate her on the process of what would happen when she got on the stand. She is a kid from a lower socio-econmonic area who they had to know would have had problems on the stand. It is not coaching the girl to have someone educate her on what happens in court (i.e. the Prosecution is essentially going to play nice and the Defense will try to tear her apart). It really looked like she got thrown to the wolves.
