You've not seen all of the physical evidence yet. No one has.

We have seen most, if not all of it. Florida is a sunshine state and
when it was "discovered" by the defense, it was public information. If
the prosecution is withholding evidence, Zimmerman walks and Corey
probably gets disbarred.

But what you don't understand is that lots of evidence isn't
"discovered" until trial.

That is not true at all, you have been watching too much TV.

The prosecution will not start a trial thinking they will get
something in direct testimony that they don't already have.
For the most part, they will shoot their whole wad at the grand jury.

In this case, they will need everything they can come up with to
survive the immunity hearing where this whole witch hunt may end.

Really? Are you serious that no evidence can be brought in after the
trial has begun? Really??

It is unusual

Bull****!

Typically, in a criminal trial, all the hard evidence and all the
witness examinations are made available by both sides to the other side
so that the lawyers can prepare their questions and bring in rebuttal
witnesses. While it is possible to introduce evidence previously unknown
at a trial, it is not easy to do so because the defense will object and
the judge probably will grant the objection.

Of course, while questioning witnesses on the stand, new information
might be forthcoming. If it conflicts with previous sworn statements of
a witness, that information can be challenged.

If you think otherwise, iLoogy, you've watched too much courtroom drama
on TV.
