What's next for George Zimmerman's case?
Our legal expert says a self-defense immunity hearing will come before a trial in June.
“It’s going to be a mini trial with the Stand Your Ground hearing. And you can expect one. And you expect one to be lost by the defense,” said Nejame.
During that hearing, it’s likely that Zimmerman will take the stand, and Nejame said that’s a prosecutor’s dream.
That could be a nightmare for the defense. Zimmerman will have to make more statements, all compared to previous ones.
“My biggest criticism of the way this case has played out from the defense perspective so far is that Mr. Zimmerman stated some things in a bond hearing and stated some things on national TV and made statements,” Nejame told News 13.
The prosecution will line up all of Zimmerman’s statements to look for inconsistencies.
For a case relying on the word of George Zimmerman in relation to what happened the night Trayvon Martin was shot and killed,
honesty will mean everything.
