Does Zimmerman personally have to show up

If there is a Grand Jury hearing? They keep saying he's "in hiding". Will he have to show?

I know one thing, I would hate to have to be security for the court if he does, and I'd be personally concerned if I was on that jury. No matter what happens, it's going to make someone upset.

Nor does his defense team present any evidence. It is strictly to determine whether the State has enough evidence to proceed with a charge.

the circus-like environment I feared. I would hope that it is about facts.
