Would the state be afraid that the doctored NBC tapes might also make the state/Staford liable for providing them to the public?

Woke up thinking about the candy and tea....Betting that TM delivered them home to thirteen year old before going to find GZ. That would fit into the time span of when Z’s call ended and when he was punched. That’s why dad knew about them.

I don't think so. The decision to misrepresent the contents is what lands NBC in trouble, not the contents per se.

I think that's possible. The origin is speculatively Chief Lee mentioned skittles and iced tea being found at the scene, but it could be Tracy Martin.

Along the lines of "fake witnesses," I just had a thought that Corey may have made the request to pull the evidence off the Sanford Town website based on CNN's "Mystery Witness" interview.

Cutcher may have used CNN's affinity for finding Zimmerman guilty to be an opportunity to advance her cause. Cutcher could have used the 911 calls to fabricate a connection between herself, and one of the 911 calls. One of the 911 calls has the person saying she's putting the phone to the open window. So, Cutcher, as "anon," claims she is that caller. If CNN knows or suspects that connection is false, they have every reason to obscure the falsehood by anonymizing the witness.

That sort of publicity does make things more complicated - not so much for applying the reliable evidence, but for maintaining public belief that the prosecutor is objective. False information that contradicts or cuts against the prosecutor's conclusion is more crap to rebut.
