Yup, thats the sunshine law alright, but nothing like you are on about.

so, you got a cite to the statute?

5.  Documents given or required by law or agency rule to be given to the person arrested, except as provided in s. 119.071(2)(h), and, except that the court in a criminal case may order that certain information required by law or agency rule to be given to the person arrested be maintained in a confidential manner and exempt from the provisions of s. 119.07(1) until released at trial if it is found that the release of such information would:

Zimmerman called Sanford PD, telling the dispatcher all about his frustration with black kids running around, then against his training and the advice of the dispatcher chose to confront Martin, where Zimmerman admits making threatening motions as if towards a weapon.

And that my friends, looks like the depraved indifference needed for Murder-2.

Nice of you to cut the statute short.

That statute says that evidence is excempt from 119.07 until released at trial if:

a. Be defamatory to the good name of a victim or witness or would jeopardize the safety of such victim or witness; and
b. Impair the ability of a state attorney to locate or prosecute a codefendant.

Those are the 2 very specific exemptions to the sunshine law that I mentioned above. If evidence doesn't meet those exceptions, it gets made public.

You know what gets me is Judge Lester stated the State Attorney Officer has strong case, yet someone thinks they know better then the Judge. I wonder what law school they went to, Law School of the Toliet.

Yeah, we know you are in your own world, optimistically ignorant of a class of things.  Lets have a look at the morgue photos of Tray, where you got them?   the bullet that shot him, wheres the pic?   The bloody hoodie, the discovery interrogation, and so on, where you got that?

My opinion: This is self-defense. Zimmerman was not the aggressor, he did nothing to provoke Trayvon Martin’s beating him

The Police, Prosecution and apparently Judge have concluded differently. They all promote the theory that George Zimmerman's following, pursuit and confrontation, including Zimmerman's admitted threatening motion as if towards a weapon, which of course contradicts thie opinion that Zimmerman wasn't the aggressor.

But of course, I don't see him discussing Zimmerman's prior training to avoid confronting suspects, and how Zimmerman's conscious choice to go against that training, and the reasonable and prudent advice he received, directly lead to the death of Trayvon Martin.

You know, because once you focus on the totality of the event, and discard this pointless bickering about what happened AFTER Zimmerman made the threatening motion as if towards a weapon, which of course, is pretty much irrelevant given all other evidence against Zimmerman. Yes, as Trayvon Martin fought for his life, George Zimmerman sustained trivial injuries. If Zimmerman didn't want the risk of being injured by his victim, he had ample opportunity to avoid it, and ample training and advice to avoid it.

Zimmerman's like the guy who is SURPRISED that if you stick your finger in the electric socket you get a shock.... But hey, given his past history of swinging first and then asking questions later, it's not a huge surprise.

Again, getting ready to flee, and then when you're prevented THEN surrendering the hidden passport and money, that's not what INNOCENT people do, is it?
