>> So it will all come down to the girlfriend, and trying like heck to discredit the eyewitness who saw Martin on top of Zimmerman.

Which brings up a question:

A prosecutor’s job is not to win a conviction at all costs, but rather to *uncover the truth* — whatever that may turn out to be. For example, this is why a prosecutor is legally (as well as morally) bound to turn over evidence it uncovers that would exculpate the accused.

Therefore, why would the prosecution even *attempt* to discredit an eyewitness?

(Not that I doubt that they *will* try.)

Taking this line of reasoning one step further, Corey’s fawning all over Trayvon and his family was unprofessional to the Nth degree.

Why would the prosecutor pray with hte martins, and why would the prosecutor declare that ‘justice for trayvon’ is what is being sought? Doesn’t sound like her objective is to ‘find hte truth’
