Zimmerman Wants Better Management Of Evidence

Attorneys for former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman said in a motion Monday that prosecutors are dragging their feet on turning over evidence.

Zimmerman's attorneys said prosecutors aren't turning information over in a timely manner and are providing some material in a format that's useless for defense experts to examine. They're asking for monthly hearings to manage the turnover of evidence from prosecutors to defense lawyers.

Manufactured evidence after the fact is a major concern in cases such as this,and that door can swing both ways.The chain of custody,especially in high profile cases is critical to prevent additional evidence from creeping in.If conditions are ideal,no evidence will be added or taken away from either side.
