I think the fact that the police chief in the Zimmerman/Martin case stepped down, only temporarily,

13. Agreed.

I fear the continued leaking of evidence is doing more damage to the prosecution's case than the defense, and not because it doesn't make it increasingly clear the Zimmerman was the aggressor from the start.

It may render more evidence unusable in court and make it harder to find a jury. Plus they tip off the defense as to where the prosecution is headed.

This may be a deliberate strategy on the part of the defense. First, try to spin it to see if it will all go away, using 3rd party "hearsay" that isn't usable in court. Failing that, keep pushing the opposition to show their hand too early.

We don't need to see any more leaked evidence in advance. Keep up the pressure, yes. But don't give away the case before trial. That's where the biggest danger lies, imo.
