But, Prosecution planted a seed that Treyvon saw the gun and started to sit back and retreat.

Not exactly what GZ said and demonstrated in the re-enactment.

And remember the shirt testimony....it's a no brainer.

The prosecutions story doesn't fit.

It is more than that in my humble non-attorney opinion. The defense just connected the reason the text messages are critical to Zimmerman's defense to actual testimony which brings it out of the hypothetical and into reality.

I'm assuming the defense probably knew it would be hard to authenticate the evidence in at this late date and is setting the stage for obtaining a retrial based on the failure of the judge to give adequate time to prepare and that the evidence directly affecting certain testimony.

In a real trial, my guess is these points would cause the prosecutor to agree to some assault charge of disturbing the peace if they knew they were facing at best a guilty plea that could cause a retrial where the defense would have more time to sharpen its case the second time around.

In my opinion the very fact that George was taking a beating and screaming for help and had actually called the police PROVES he was not intent in killing anyone that night. Who would look to kill someone but call the police and them show up while you were doing that.

It was not until trayvon saw his gun and said, “you're gonna die tonight m f’er” that George used his weapon. Sheesh. He could have fired while HE WAS GETTING HISHEAD BASHED IN BUT HE DIDNT.
