How do you know he didn't? Only one alive that knows what happened is Zimmerman.

Trayvon was not smaller.

You must have seen an entirely different closing argument than I watched. The prosecution just proved all the inconsistencies uttered by George Zimmerman. The common personality trait that these killers, such as Zimmerman and Scott Peterson have is they think they are smarter than everybody else. And how long has Peterson been sitting on death row?

In addition to Zimmerman's thinking he's smart is the history of racial relations in Sanford where nobody was ever convicted for killing a black person. He had lived there long enough to know this dark history.

I'm not sure Rachel Didi Diamond Eugene Jeantel even knows what she did that night.

I thought the prosecution gave a very effective closing with what they had to work with. I am sure the defense will do just as well tomorrow, But then the prosecution gets the last word.

Just go to google and search for Sanford, FL's past history.

How many people lost their jobs because of their handling of this case? The state attorney Norman Wolfinger was removed from the case, barely a month after the shooting, because he decided not to press charges against George Zimmerman.

Sanford police chief Bill Lee was fired in July 2012 because he was in charge of the botched investigation. Some pundits think Lee should have charges filed against him.

Chris Cerino, the chief detective investigating the murder, is now a patrolman, even though he was the one who wanted to charge Zimmerman for the murder immediately.

After all these failures, Gov Scott stepped in and appointed Duval County Prosecutor Angela Corey who decided to file a charge of second degree murder.

Since Defense can bring in animation that was not during trial, can they also bring in previous calls to TM about his "Fighting" during closing...I noticed that Prosecution mentioned during their closing that Zimmerman supposedly walked around 3 buildings to ambush TM, that was NEVER mentioned during the trial

I believe Judge Nelson said no to the phone records.

The Alicia Stanley Story – The Only Real Mom Trayvon Martin Ever Knew | The Last Refuge

If you all would read this great link that Patty 55 posted, you will see that Tracy Martin's second wife Alicia (Trayvon's stepmom) raised the kid for years because his real Mom didn't want him. Then his Dad left him (again) with Alicia while he sniffed after other women.

Sad, but when I look at Trayvon's parents acting like they lost their child, well to me.... they lost him years ago because they really didn't want to be bothered with him, especially when he started getting in trouble.

He was on his own. Photos show when he was shipped back to his Real mom when he was 15, his Mother had already bonded with his older brother and Trayvon was always in the distance.

But who has their hands out, looking for a quick buck??? Those two!!! Sickening!!!

You really can't have followed this case very much if you are unaware that Angela Corey NEVER took the case to a grand jury! He was not and has not been indicted by a grand jury.

You really don't want to play the "What If" game do you?

You are correct. I stand corrected. Corey decided against using the grand jury and made the decision on her own, which she could do since it was not a capital murder case.
