looks like another slam dunk for the prosecution:
Jurors see photos of Trayvon Martin?s body | HLNtv.com
Prosecutor John Guy had a crime scene technician show jurors the gun Zimmerman used to shoot Martin. The technician, Diana Smith, also showed them the soft drink and Skittles Martin bought that night, along with photos of Zimmermans head, hands and clothing taken after he arrived at the police station.
How is this a slam dunk for the prosecution?
The jury isnt there to determine who killed Martin. Even Zimmerman is admitting that yes Trayvon is dead and yes he killed him.
The issue is whether it was self defense or not. These pictures don't prove that it wasnt self defense. Pictures of the gun don't prove whether it was self defense or not. Pictures of a soft drink and skittles don't prove whether it was self defense or not.
I mean do you think the jury is sitting there thinking "Oh wow he had a soft drink and skittles. There is no way that he could have attacked the defendant first"
That's just stupid.
