When is prosecution going to . . .

Bring up the fact that if Zimmerman's gun was holstered behind him and he was lying flat on his back with Trayvon straddling him (knees near armpits) in the dark; how could Trayon have seen or reached for it? Sounds like Zimmerman had the gun in his hand before he hit the ground. None of the facts come together the way Zimmerman told it.

The prosecution can't argue things in closing that have not been brought in as evidence.

If Trayvon is right-handed and the gun was on Zimmerman's right or behind him (can't get his lies straight), then how could Trayvon see the gun? And how could he restrain Zimmerman, covering his nose and mouth, banging his head against the concrete, and breaking his nose, all the while seeing the gun and grabbing it?

It's all bullshit. And the Zimmerman Cheerleaders who are going out of their way to defend this racist asshole are either complicit or themselves bigots for defending this man's killing of an unarmed boy.

Don't tell me he was just after the Skittles. It was pre-meditated and everything points to that.
