The deposition process is a crucial part of trial preparation.

The state and defense conduct out-of-court interrogations with witnesses expected to testify for the opposition.

According to the Orlando Sentinel:

In a court notice filed in Seminole County on Thursday, Zimmerman attorney Mark O’Mara indicated that he had conducted depositions with several members of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement the previous day.

That includes an FDLE crime lab analyst who tested evidence in the case for DNA, including Zimmerman’s gun, his flashlight, his holster and his and Trayvon’s clothing.

The Zimmerman trial is slated to begin next year and most likely be one of the most talked about trials of 2013.
