Who's left? The Miami Herald reports 168, including 46 designated for indefinite detention, without charge or trial.

The new discovery in the George Zimmerman case will be available to the media tomorrow morning. The Orlando Sentinel describes what is likely to be included. It will be the items from the Second Discovery Disclosure not exempted by law and the judge.

TalkLeft's webmaster Colin and I have spent the last five days re-constructing the old TalkLeft Duke Lacrosse Forums from 2006 and creating new TalkLeft Forums for the George Zimmerman case.

While I will continue to report here on major Zimmerman case news when it occurs, most of the case discussion from now on will be on the Forums, so that TalkLeft can get back to other topics. For more about the new forums, see our announcement here.

Update (TL):

107 degrees according to my dashboard. Maybe it's the thin air, or that we're a mile closer to the sun, but whatever it is, it feels surreal to be outside. And very uncomfortable.
