So the prosecutor took the word of the mother that it was Trayvon screaming for help as opposed to Zimmerman’s father and witness who said it was Zimmerman looking for help.

Paints a funny picture, doesn't it?
Trayvon sitting on top of Zimmerman, smashing his head against the ground, all the while shouting for help.

Unless I’m confused the prosecution affadavit is not the prosecution’s attempt to state what happened. It’s their summation of why they are pressing charges. Of course they give the version of events that best meets the necessary criteria.

It is the defense attorney’s job to spell out the “other side of the story.” Where prosecutors get into trouble is when they go beyond presenting their side of the case and get into suppressing exculpatory evidence. Which happens all the time.
