I got a tweet from Mark NeJame, the CNN analyst. I asked him which would hold more weight at trial the EMS reports or GZ DR's note.
He replied and said that it would be up to the jury. The defense will try to use it to create reasonable doubt and add to their case, but in the end it comes up to the jury, and that both would be admissible.
That came from a real, verified, lawyer................not an internet ...cough cough....
The largest donation received was $3,000, then $2,000 and the lowest was one dollar. Most donate between $25 and $100, and many include notes of support for Mr. Zimmerman and his family.
He was making a point which you seemingly don't understand.

Who said it did. Thank you for confirming that you indeed do not have any reading comprehension skills. I didn't mention the law in that post. Thanks for more proof GZ fans don't read post and respond with emotions.
Go to Mark Nejames twitter page find it for yourself, its there
On the night of the shooting, door-to-door canvassing was not exhaustive enough, said a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation. If officers had been more thorough, they might have determined that Mr. Martin, 17, was a guest — as opposed to an intruder — at a gated community called the Retreat at Twin Lakes. That would have been an important part of the subjective analysis that night by officers sizing up Mr. Zimmerman’s story. Investigators found no witnesses who saw the fight start. Others saw parts of a struggle they could not clearly observe or hear. One witness, though, provided information to the police that corroborated Mr. Zimmerman’s account of the struggle, according to a law enforcement official.
The police took only one photo at the scene of any of Mr. Zimmerman’s injuries — a full-face picture of him that showed a bloodied nose — before paramedics tended to him. It was shot on a department cellphone camera and was not downloaded for a few days, an oversight by the officer who took it.
The vehicle that Mr. Zimmerman was driving when he first spotted Mr. Martin was mistakenly not secured by officers as part of the crime scene. The vehicle was an important link in the fatal encounter because it was where Mr. Zimmerman called the police to report a suspicious teenager in a hooded sweatshirt roaming through the Retreat. Mr. Zimmerman also said he was walking back to the vehicle when he was confronted by Mr. Martin, who was unarmed, before shooting him.
The police were not able to cover the crime scene to shield evidence from the rain, and any blood from cuts that Mr. Zimmerman suffered when he said Mr. Martin pounded his head into a sidewalk may have been washed away.
The police did not test Mr. Zimmerman for alcohol or drug use that night, and one witness said the lead investigator quickly jumped to a conclusion that it was Mr. Zimmerman, and not Mr. Martin, who cried for help during the struggle.
His clothes were taken into evidence after his wife came to the station with a new set.
Mr. Martin was not identified until Monday morning, about 13 hours after he was killed, when the police learned that his father, Tracy Martin, had reported him as missing.
She also recalled telling him that night that she was haunted by the cries for help she believed came from Mr. Martin during the struggle. But she said the investigator seemed to have already formed an opinion about what had happened. He told her, she said, that it was Mr. Zimmerman — not Mr. Martin — who was the one screaming, an assertion that remains in dispute.
Benjamin Crump, a lawyer for the Martins, said that Mr. Martin was carrying a T-Mobile Comet phone and that the police contacted his father a day or two after the shooting to get the password, but he did not know it. A law enforcement official said that the phone had died not long after the police retrieved it, and that it took days for the authorities to get a charger and an expert to try to get into the device. If the police had been able to get access to it, they could have interviewed Mr. Martin’s friend about what he had told her in those final moments of his life and what else she had heard. The police eventually subpoenaed Mr. Martin’s cellphone records, but did not receive them in a timely fashion.

xcathdra do u think the doctors report will be inadmissible since zimmerman waited til the next day to go to the doctor? imo he could have had someone punch him in the nose for all we know. if his injuries were so serious why didnt he go to the doctor that night? no concussion?

In announcing the charge, Ms. Corey praised the Sanford Police Department’s work, indicating that it had conducted a “thorough and intensive” inquiry and was a “tremendous help” to her office.

Actually I encourage many people in this thread to read it, especialy those who continue to falsely claim Zimmerman was allowed to change clothes / shower.

Martin did not live with his father but actually his mother. He was at his dads fiance's place visiting.edit on 16-5-2012 by Xcathdra because: (no reason given)
So he was a welcomed guest.
I fail to see how this shed Martin in a poor light for being there.

Here's something that works or me.
What can one do. If they are walking and get approached like this. I guess it boils down to who can draw their pistol the fastest.
Behave like a person that is well adjusted to modern society and talk to them. Be polite.
I was walking across the parking lot outside my office two days ago when a strange car drove up the street very slowly, then turned into the parking lot and drove up very close to where I was standing. I had no idea what they were doing. I guess I could have got in their faces and asked them if they had a problem, but I was polite and asked them if I could help them. They needed directions, so I gave them detailed directions to the place that they were looking for. It was easy. I didn't get into a fight, no one was killed.

Trayvon suspended THREE times for 'drugs, truancy, graffiti and carrying burglary tool' and did he attack bus driver too? New picture emerges of victim as parents claim it's all a smear

It doesnt add up that he wasnt taken in though, even more so when you compare it to this story.
