JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The latest round of evidence in the murder case against George Zimmerman will be released beginning Monday, according to the State Attorney's Office.

Zimmerman is charged with second degree murder of Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman claims he shot the 17-year-old in self-defense in February.

A judge ordered the release of the evidence by June 27. But State Attorney Angela Corey says some of the information will come out next week.

It initially included access to more than 150 jailhouse calls and transcripts, new crime scene photos except those that show Trayvon's body, and additional witness statements to police. But in a development late Friday afternoon, the State Attorney's Office said Zimmerman's attorney is filing a motion to block the release of some of Zimmerman's jailhouse calls. Therefore, only six of Zimmerman's calls will be released.

If Martin was worried about someone following him, why follow Zimmerman, who was leaving the area and going back to his vehicle, and confront Zimmerman? Zimmerman was following advice from the police dispatcher, retreating to his truck, when Martin attacked Zimmerman!! The media won't show pictures of the "adult" Martin, because it would scare people, and sympathy would be felt for Zimmerman. He was a big, ugly, gangster. Most people would have shot Martin as soon as he got close. He looked like trouble. He asked for trouble by attacking Zimmerman, and he got what he deserved. Zimmerman showed restraint by waiting until Martin attacked and almost killed him before shooting him. If you saw the latest picture of Martin on his face book page, there would be no question it was self defense.

If a 6'4" person was bashing my head on the ground I would shot them also.

This man protected himself while his head was bashed into the street. Florida law allows people to defend themselves. Don't let the media post 3 year old pictures of the attacker to sway your opinion. Look at the facebook of the perp before making your decision, it will most likely change your mind.
