The prosecution revealing today some critical unseen evidence key witness interviews.

And a first look at what FBI agents determined when it comes to a possible.

Hate crimes charged.

Against mr.

Zimmerman keep in mind.

Trade on Martin's family believes his race had something to do with this murder Trace Gallagher live in our West Coast newsroom with more Trace.

280 pages -- a lot of this we have seen and heard before but make no mistake there are some big takeaways here that will be used as fuel for both sides.

When this goes to trial -- FBI interviewed a number.

A former or current Sanford police investigators including the lead investigator in this case Chris Serena this is important because remember.

Chris -- is the one a month before George Zimmerman.

Was actually charged with second degree murder who recommended that he should be charged saying.

And I'm quoting here just the act of following him was the instigation.

And nothing else but Serena went on to tell the FBI would it concerns racial motivation.

That he said quote.

Zimmerman actions were not based on -- skin color rather based on his -- the total circumstances of the encounter.

And the previous burglary suspects in the community remember there had been a rash of burglaries in that area.

By saying that George Zimmerman was quoting again.

Overzealous.

That she observed Zimmerman as he socialized and played basketball with white black and Hispanic man.

Zimmerman never exhibited any biases or prejudices.

Against anyone.

Where he wrote and again I'm quoting.

I don't mind driving around scared to hit Mexicans walking on the side of the straight soft ass wannabe thugs messing with people's cars when they ain't a row.

Keep in mind George Zimmerman is half Hispanic so as you look at the totality of these 280 pages -- This is a racially charged case but there doesn't seem to be a common theme.

Of racism when it comes to George -- including the cops and the people who knew him best bearing very interesting Trace thank you and.
