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.

Isn’t that still having to through holder and obamas’ justice “system”? It won’t stand a chance unless hispanics threaten to riot over this lynching.
