State wants court inquiry of George Zimmerman
http://www.baynews9.com/content/dam...04/zimmerman-request-court-inquiry-042413.pdf
It appears the state is requesting the defense to clarify that they are indeed waiving the immunity hearing, since George Zimmerman was not present at the previous hearing.

George Zimmerman's defense has released several new documents, most notably a motion from prosecutors, who want to know whether or not there will still be a "Stand Your Ground" hearing.
Zimmerman's lawyers requested a hearing last year to determine if Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law applied in the case. Zimmerman claimed he acted in self-defense when he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February 2012. Martin was unarmed, but Zimmerman said the teen attacked him.
But in March, the defense said it did not need the two weeks in April that the court had set aside for the "Stand Your Ground" hearing.
Other new documents included notices that the state took depositions between April 16 and 18 of the following witnesses:
Robert Zimmerman Sr. (George's father)
Gladys Zimmerman (George's mother)
Robert Zimmerman Jr. (George's brother)
Mark Osterman
Sondra Osterman
Frank Taffee
Unnamed "Witness V."
