From The Sound Live:
Last week, Zimmerman’s defense team got their hands on some key information that exploit Trayvon Martin’s character although we can not justify the legitimacy of information. Zimmerman’s team revealed text message records and also a group of photos that deface Trayvon Martin’s innocence. Those records were denied in court by a judge, preventing the defense team from using them in court.
From NBC News:
Judge Debra Nelson said that during the trial she will consider motions to admit details as evidence on a case-by-case basis, outside the presence of jurors who will decide if Zimmerman is guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Martin.
Capping a slew of rulings on pre-trial motions, Nelson rejected a defense request for a trial delay and ruled that jury selection will begin June 10.
“This case has dragged on long enough,” prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda said in arguing for the trial to start as scheduled.
Over the course of two hours, Nelson granted numerous motions by prosecutors, who argued that details of the slain teen’s past are not be relevant to the Feb. 26, 2012, confrontation between Zimmerman and Martin and should not be discussed before the jury.
