Just a thought:

I know that there was a man that was being harassed by an employer via text messages. he immediately deleted each message. He never replied to them. When he went for unemployment, he was at loss to prove harassment. His cell carrier was able to retrieve those messages, which went on for months, with the date and time stamps still intact.

If those messages and images are really there why could that not be done in this case.

Unless they really don't exist.

Witness is doing a good job of standing up to cross exam.

It could've been done. But the State didn't do it, they didn't want that known. Defense could've but found out late, due to prosecution with holding

Here it comes.....George didn't say he was Neighborhood Watch!

I'm not crazy about this witness because everything he says is simple conjecture. He is neither adding nor taking away.

Guy: GZ didn't try other options before shooting?

Root: "He did scream for help... I don't know what else he could have done."

This expert is trying to say you need special training to be in a fight. Anyone can fight for their life if need be, you don't need lessons.

He could have fought back. He didn't, because I think he was trying to reach for his gun the whole time. That's what 90 % of concealed carry gun-owners would be doing in that situation IMO.
