12. Their job isn't to get "at the truth"

Their job is to determine if there is reasonable doubt. "The truth" may or may not have anything to do with a concocted fantasy that a boy shot in the heart voluntarily moved his arms in an unusual position 15 seconds after his death. That is a slight possibility to corroborate a fantasy explanation that is not being even directly presented by the killer in the trial.

This case now has very little to do with "the truth". It has everything to do with creating enough fantasies that create reasonable doubt by distracting from the fact that Zimmerman chased down a boy and shot him to death. And yes, that is a fact.
