On the ground facing down? So how was it that TM was the aggressor if he was face down when Zimmer got up?
So does that mean TM was shot in the back? Last I heard the medical examiner said that he saw ZERO marks on TM's hands (meaning he was not fighting anyone), and the only injury was the shot wound...
I dont even know the point of this post. I am not suggesting TM was the aggressor.

Because evidence suggest Zimmerman is telling the truth.
Past run ins really don't matter, but if you want to bring them in there was also a story about the school catching him with 20 some pieces of women's jewelry and a screwdriver in class. So it could be argued that he may have been casing the houses.
If you wanna play the if game.
Really what matters isn't their pasts as much as the witness, police, and paramedic statements and physical evidence (Martin shot in front from extremely close range, etc).

I was pointing out there is no way TM could of been the aggressor if he was face down... The fact that the examiner saw no marks of a fight suggests the same...
I also did not hear where he was shot, chest or back. That would mean a lot in determining my conclusion.
That was the point...

And for doing 'more than he needed to' ... you know that pesky killing and all ... you dont think he deserves any punishment? He was studying criminal justice, he had conceal permit, that alone shows that he should have acted in the total opposite of how he acted instead of doing 'more than he needed to'....

Where is your evidence that Zimmerman followed the kid and confronted him?
How do you know he doesn't stop in his tracks when they said "we don't need you to do that?"
I think he may have continued following and watching for a few seconds, but then on the very same call he says he lost sight ofthe kid. I think then he turned around. So if he turned around the second they said to or 15 seconds later it doesn't matter because that isn't what led to the confrontation.
I don't know where you guys are trying to go with this.

That's exactly what I said... no motive for TM only for GZ, to try and be top cop and put an end to the break-ins.
GZ just did something really stupid that he is going to have to live with for the rest of his life. Right idea, wrong actions...

That video you posted is totally irrelevant..
For one it doesn't show what happened between Zimmerman and Trayvon.
Two something looks out of place in this video.
I thought it was raining that night? Everything seems dry. I don't know this video tells us nothing about what happened during the scuffle, regardless.
This video looks staged if you ask me.

I believe Zimmerman says 'what are you doing around here' and then shows his gun in his waistband, maybe drawing it, maybe not, but making it known he has it, at that point Treyvon start to run, Zimmerman grabs him...thats the point where the ear piece comes out...treyvon starts screaming (heard on 911) and the scuffle started on the sidewalk, move to the grass where zimmereman got Treyvon to the ground (face down), drew his gun, maybe planning to use it, maybe thinking he would just use it to subdue....and it goes off, he stands up....Mary curtcher comes out at that point seeing Zimmerman over Treyvon.....

Her word is just her word though.
Thats obvious. Witness testimony is one of the poorest quality forms of evidence that can be presented at trial, if its the only form of evidence available, HOWEVER, witness testimony is the ONLY kind of evidence that can support GZ. There are other forms of evidence which support TM's position of an unjust killing.
I would like to see the source where it says she was on the phone one minute before police arrived (not calling but actually on the phone with him)
He said this man was watching him, so he put his hoodie on. He said he lost the man...I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast. I told him to run but he said he was not going to run. Trayvon said, 'What, are you following me for,' and the man said, 'What are you doing here.' Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and somebody pushed Trayvon because the head set just fell. I called him again and he didn't answer the phone.
I told him to run seconds before he was shot
I think it would have been brought up sooner
His girlfriend was probably the first witness to come forward following the public awareness of the case
.
Why didn't the kid go to his dad's gf if it was very nearby?
He was on his way to his father's when he was killed...
Evidence suggest when he saw that Zimmerman stopped chasing him, he circled around and came back on him.
There is NO evidence of this. If there is, present it.edit on 30-3-2012 by spacedog1973 because: (no reason given)edit on 30-3-2012 by spacedog1973 because: (no reason given)
