SANFORD – As the world eagerly awaits the release of never-before-seen evidence in the case against George Zimmerman, employees for Special Prosecutor Angela Corey late this afternoon provided a preview in the form of an eight-page document.
The paperwork, filed with the Seminole County clerk as closing time approached, listed several witnesses the state plans to call and identified several pieces of the evidence prosecutors expect to use in their scond-degree murder case against Zimmerman.
Most names were redacted from the document, but six civilian witnesses were listed: Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin — parents of the alleged victim, Trayvon Martin — as well as Trayvon's brother, Jahvarius Fulton; Zimmerman's neighbor, Frank Taaffe; his friend, Joe Oliver; and his father, Robert Zimmerman.
The document listed 18 Sanford police officers as primary witnesses, including lead Investigator Chris Serino. Corey's office also turned over five reports prepared by him, as well as written reports prepared by four other Sanford officers.
According to the documents, prosecutors also have new video evidence from the night of the shooting — both from the 7-Eleven store where Trayvon purchased Skittles and Arizona iced tea, and from the clubhouse of Retreat at Twin Lakes, the apartment complex where the teen was killed.
Other video evidence, which shows Zimmerman being taken into Sanford Police Department headquarters after the shooting, has already been made public. Crime scene photos of both Zimmerman and the teen are also listed in the documents filed Monday.
Also included in the evidence, according to the new filing, are phone records — Zimmerman's from March 7 to March 22, Trayvon's from January 1 through March 1, and those of an unnamed witness labeled "W8" from February 26 through April 2. Zimmerman's medical records are listed, as are records of his 2005 arrest and domestic-violence injunctions.

All that I get on this crime at whOrlando Sentinel is Crickets!
There’s an old ploy that involves trying to bury the opposition in paper, that’s appears to be what’s going on here. Sort of low class, but not surprising.
As to scans, you’re right. The original documents must be produced at trial.
Speaking of American cities being burnt to the ground, this whole Trayvon debacle has got me thinking back to the Los Angeles riots. There was a black mayor at the time and a white police chief. There seems to have been bad blood between them. As I recall there was a period of hours when there was no police presence at the scene of the rioting. Does anyone know what happened in that period of hours? Has anyone ever heard of what went on behind the scenes?
“Narative media”, that’s great. :^D
Who took the video from the clubhouse? Was Trayvon taking pictures of the clubhouse.
