Zimmerman's attorney's got shot down today....judge put an end to the bullshit by prohibiting his text, photo, etc to the public.
But then, he makes a request to have all of the jury members photographed and sequestered.......judge also shot down of course.....Pretty sad how they are now trying to intimidate the upcoming jury
