I think that Zimmerman should have been charged. Publicity or not. I know that we have a difference of opinion in that regard.
But, I agree that it's been an extremely poorly presented case and the prosecution hasn't met its burden of proof to support the charges against Zimmerman.
Sloppy and disappointing showing by Corey and de la Rionda's teams, with some very counter-productive prosecution witnesses and ineffective lawyering.
The ME that did the autopsy for the state is an unbelievably annoying, combative, and ineffective witness. Were I a juror, I would discount anything he says. I hope he's dismissed soon.
