Last night, state prosecutors
released a large amount of evidence — including 183 pages of documents and
numerous multimedia files — related to their murder case against George
Zimmerman. Here are eight notable pieces evidence that were just made public:
1. Two days after Trayvon Martin’s death a woman called the police to
say that George Zimmerman has “racist tendencies” and is “fully capable of
instigating a confrontation.”
The woman refused to identify
herself.
2. PHOTO: Trayvon Martin’s can of Arizona Iced Tea
According to the police, Martin’s
body was under the yellow tarp in this photo.
3. The lead police investigator wanted to charge Zimmerman with
manslaughter.
“The encounter between George
Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin was ultimately avoidtable by Zimmerman, if
Zimmerman had remained in his vehicle and waitied the arrival of law
enforcement, or conversely if he had identified himself to Martin as a
concerned citizen and initiated dialogue in an effort to dispel each party’s concern.”
The lead investigator wanted to charge Zimmerman with manslaughter
notwithstanding the fact he believed it was Zimmerman, not Martin, yelling for
help on the 911 tapes.
