His strongest evidence is the non emergency call where he basically has to use that to show Zimmerman as a vicious murderer and the fact is that Zimmerman is guiding police to his location, his voice and demeanor the whole time is very calm and he almost sounds like someone too lazy to care about anything. He doesn't sound like a killer. HE was there to do a job. He was doing his job. Clearly everyone misunderstood each other. It ended horribly. But the prosecution has to use those tapes to make him sound like a killer because there is nothing else. Just the fact that the prosecution asked for 3rd degree murder and child abuse is bizarre.

I could care less about Martin, Zimmerman, gun control, or race. When debating such topics you have to remove certain subjects - like race. Let's say both Zimmerman and Martin were white, what do you get? You get MY TEENAGER wearing a hoodie on her way to her friend's house taking a shortcut between houses and getting shot dead because someone thought my kid looked suspicious and became judge, jury, and executioner... It's just not acceptable to me.
Then you factor in his story just doesn't add up. From the very first pictures of Zimmerman and his bloody lip it didn't add up. None of it adds up - why did an armed man get out of a car and pursue a suspect? He was hit twenty-five time and only got a bloody zip and two cuts on the back of his head? Come on.... Didn't know one of three streets in his complex? Hell, it was the biggest street in the complex, and Zimmerman passed it every day when he left the complex - bullshit.
Then the gun... how did Zimmerman, with his mouth full of blood and being beat silly, reach BEHIND him to pull out his firearm?
Why did Zimmerman say he walked towards Martin, then 24 hours later say Martin jumped out of the bushes?
This wasn't self defense at all. He gunned down an innocent teen.
At the very least he's guilty of manslaughter with additional firearm charges.
