She is referring to all arguments presented by the Prosecution. Apparently, she doesn't have to go into detail. However, it is important to note that in criminal cases, such as this, you always expect a Motion to Dismiss to be denied.
The Defense already knew that is what she was going to do. You can see that, especially, when West gave his arguments for acquittal. He rattled out his facts for the record, giving the impression he did his part, knowing she would do hers.
I think it is advantageous for the Defense to bring their case. They will have much more leeway as the witnesses will be their witnesses and they won't be hamstrung on the questioning process.
IMO, O'Mara did a great job setting up Jentel, TM's mother and brother for reasonable doubt. I hope he puts them back on the stand. He can come at TM's mother carefully this first time, but he walked a fine line with the reasonable doubt and I believed he achieved that.
Even if some may not have caught it, he will bring up law enforcement not being present in the Mayor's office and questioning her more on her not being aware of what she was about to hear on the 911 tape prior to her visit with the Mayor. But I took special note that he looked very much in doubt that Tracey had not spoken to her about the tapes prior to that meeting. He may have some information on that. She looked a little doubtful herself at the questioning.
This is a good article from JD's favorite site - The Daily Beast. Wait, that may be our good friend DM.
Just messin' with you JD! lol

George Zimmerman Will Never Be Convicted of Murdering Trayvon Martin

(Notably, the newly released documents reveal that when an investigator spoke with Martin’s father, Tracy, and asked whether the screaming on the tape was his son’s, he responded, “No.”)
