Ear witnesses < Eye witnesses
Why would the investigators even be discussing details in an ongoing investigation with her. Highly improper..... Especially to try and say they had come to a conclusion before the investigation was over.edit on Sun, 13 May 2012 22:46:41 -0500 by TKDRL because: (no reason given)

Has it been proven that that isn't what happened?
Because I haven't seen any updates that said so, but if it is I will gladly change my story.. Right now however that is the ONLY one that explains the time discrepency between TM starting to run and then being shot after fighting Zimmerman just 70 yards from his door.
I guess it is a possibility that TM stopped running and ZImmerman caught up with him again, but there is NO WAY Zimmerman could ever catch a running TM so TM would be in the wrong just the same if he turned around and started fighting Zimmerman (though that scenario seems less likely than Zimmerman getting jumped).

You have missed a ton obviously if you confused what color the witness claimed the attacker was wearing and conveniently confused it with the color Zimmerman was wearing..
What are the odds right?
The reason this thread has gone on so long is for one reason and one reason only the people opposing Zimmerman are completely biased.
I don't know if it's because they can't shake the media manipulation or if they are just anti gun people, but every thing has pointed towards Zimmerman shooting Trayvon in self defense.
You guys are coming up with this nonsense that maybe Zimmerman's head was hurt from scratches caused by Trayvon trying to get away. Get real there are big differences between scratches and contusions. It's all b.s. Why can't you just let it ride. The only reason the thread was made was because it was at a time when no one was giving Zimmerman a fair shake, now people are. Stop acting like TM was a saint and could only have been trying to get away. You know less about this character than anyone and if past experiences are indicative of future results he was well on his way to being a criminal.
Let the case ride. If there is any justice Zimmerman will go free.edit on 14-5-2012 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)

It drags on also because new members come and start rehashing stuff that has been brought up a hundred pages ago, acting like there is some new evidence out
There hasn't been anything new since the head investigator admitted their case was a sham under oath.

Don't know if someone has answered your question, but imagine this scenario....Zimmerman placed the call to the police while he was already following Martin...When the police told him not to pursue, Zimmerman turned around and started back home...that is when he was jumped from behind. If Zimmerman was the neighborhood watchman
he was not gonna call from his home...he would call while in pursuit to keep an eye on the supposed suspect don't ya think?
Thanks kindly, Pax

Is everyone on the side that is making up things to defend Zimmerman working under the assumption the police carried this all out properly? It is a known fact that the police did not follow proper procedure at many points in this entire deal so why would anyone even question whether or not she is right based on the assumption that cops don't do that? They did a lot of things the night of the shooting that cops do not do.

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. There are all kinds of other explanations for what could have happened in that time right here in this thread and according to Martin's girlfriend we know even more of it. You cannot tell me that is the only explanation when I can think of many myself but there are already several in this thread and you have responded to them.
Earlier Monday, the special prosecutor in the Martin case released a preview of the evidence built against Zimmerman.
Local 6 confirmed the eight-page document was filed by special prosecutor Angela Corey’s team just before the Seminole County courthouse closed at 4:30 p.m. Monday. Among the witnesses listed were Martin's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin; Martin’s brother, Jahvarius Fulton; Zimmerman’s neighbor, Frank Taaffe; his friend, Joe Oliver; and his father, Robert Zimmerman.
Many of the witness names were redacted, but 18 Sanford police officers were listed as primary witnesses, four FDLE investigators, three investigators from the office of State Attorney Norm Wolfinger and two from Corey’s office. Also included is Sanford Police Department lead investigator into Martin’s death, Chris Serino.
Acting Police Chief Richard Myers said he plans to questions the officers himself to help them prepare for trial.
"What were the different activities by the responding officers and supervisors that were on the scene? Were there any decisions made at the scene? What decisions were made downstream so to speak," said Myers.
Under Florida law, discovery would normally be made public at the same time its handed over to the defense team.
O'Mara says if witnesses are hounded by the media it might jeopardize Zimmerman's chances of getting a fair trial.
Zimmerman, 28, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the Feb. 26 shooting of the 17-year-old Martin. Zimmerman claims he shot the teenager in self-defense.
The O’Mara Law Group received discovery regarding the George Zimmerman case just after 5:00 PM on Monday, May 14. The discovery package included 67 compact discs and numerous hardcopy documents, including the State’s Discovery Exhibit and Demand for Reciprocal Discovery. The discovery also includes witness statements, 911 calls, non-emergency calls, photos, video, medical records, and more. Mr. O’Mara and staff will now begin the process of examining the information that has been provided. Please remember and understand that it is inappropriate for us to comment on particular pieces of evidence.
