How do you know he's a murderer? He may very well be...or he may very well have defended himself. You have to look at it from his potential side also. If you were him and just defended yourself, would you want everyone to assume you were a murderer just because the person was a different skin color?

Even if you wanna say self defence it don't justify shooting the kid. Zimmerman had 100 lbs on this kid that he stalked and killed. For what? A punch to the face? I can now kill people who hit me?

Well Zimmerman does claim that his face was being smashed into the concrete ground.

I agree it doesn't look good for him. Especially since the kid wasn't in his house. Since it was just out in the neighborhood it makes it a tough sell. It's still hard to tell though. 100lbs doesn't mean the kid couldn't kick the other guys ass. This was a full grown individual. Not an 8 year old.

Which this video proves was either a lie or not life threatening. You have to have seasonal belief that your life is in danger to use lethal force.

Well it isn't the best quality video we also don't know how long after that the video is from.

Anyways

"The initial police report noted that Zimmerman was bleeding from the back of the head and nose, and after medical attention it was decided that he was in good enough condition to travel in a police cruiser to the Sanford, Fla., police station for questioning."

Whether it was cold blooded murder or self defense, the real story with the Trayvon Martin killing is how our society reacts to it. Issues like this only feed into preconceived narratives to justify what people already believe. Sharpton and the race hustlers heard that a black kid was killed by a guy with light skin, so it has to be a product of white racism, and the fact that Zimmerman isn't white doesn't stop the narrative. The reverse is also true, Trayvon was a black teenager who smoked weed, so many assumed he must be some kind of deviant. The only thing to do with things like this is take a step back, and try to let all the facts come in before coming to a conclusion. Of course, that's the rational thing, so 90% of people do the opposite.

This does prove that the story could have been fabricated...

Well I suppose there's new information for these revelations.

They aren't going to let someone who is actively bleeding into a police station to be questioned about a possible murder............

If he was still bleeding there is a danger of contracting blood transferred diseases. So, if he was actively bleeding he would not have been cleared........

The video does paint a different picture then the one implied by the police report though.

Video has leaked of Zimmerman being released from a cop car with no injuires at all on him. There seems to of been no struggle and everything he has said about him getting beaten up and had his nose broken and stuff are FALSE! no such thing has happened at all

Daddy is a retired judge that is why. I can tell you from that video that Zimmerman has no blood on his shirt and does not even have any type of bandage on his clearly shaven head. He hops out the police car with no help but has a broken nose and there is no wet spot or grass on his back. The police are clearly treating him with respect and the police car video is not taken or is suddenly missing. The police don't check Zimmerman for drugs/alcohol and the body of Mr. Martin has no visible signs of struggle.

I told you from the description of the events as told by Mr. Zimmerman that it was almost impossible that the shooting was self defense. This video shows even more evidence that the police touched the jacket from a shooting that should have been in evidence.

So then I have to ask for your proof that the investigating cops on the scene knew he was a retired US judge......no blood was ever stated to be on the shirt. They said it was wet with grass stains. There is also some mark ON his head if you look closely. The video is bad. And you have him treated for a broken nose by a doctor. Did he lie as well? Why would the witness lie? There are ZERO witnesses that contradict his story. In the US we have to look at the facts. One witness that say him on the ground being beaten beats 10 bad videos taken after he was treated. I'm using the witnesses statement. It does back up Zimmerman. There is also some alleged statements that Martin was trying to go for the gun. Like I said...reasonable doubt. Period.

Again, I don't understand all this debate. He killed a person, that's a fact. He's the one that has to prove self-defense. Otherwise, he's just a common murderer and should be locked in.

Even if he was assaulted, he was much bigger than the kid and the kid was UNARMED, shooting him was not needed. It's not self-defense if your life is not in danger. His life was never in danger. This guy should rot in jail.

Doesn't matter. From what the witness said....his life WAS in danger. Doesn't matter if the Teen/youth/young adult...not a kid....was unarmed. You don't have to have a weapon to be a danger to another person. Using the witness statement....he saw the dude in the red on the ground (GZ) being beaten with his head being slammed into the pavement by the other actor (TM). You do know that having one's head smacked into pavement CAN and HAS caused death? Right? You aren't merely spouting biased rhetoric or talking out your ass are you?

No obvious injuries noted on video. However, police report did note certain injuries and that first aid was administered in car. More conflicting evidence. Possible second shooter seen on grassy knoll as well.

No, you got it backwards. The government have all the proof they need, he killed the kid.

That's not how it works. The state has to have enough evidence to show Zimmerman was not defending himself and killed him in an illegal manner. The fact he killed Martin alone is not enough. According to an article I read, the cops actually did want to charge him with man slaughter but the state attorney's office said they did not have enough evidence, so the investigation continued. So you indeed do have it backwards, the state has to build a case that they feel has enough evidence for a successful prosecution first, otherwise arresting him actually HURTS their chances as once you arrest him, you only have like 19 days to file charges.

No the government doesn't or he'd have been arrested. They are still investigating. Self defense homicide is not prosecuted by the way. Thus far....that is what the evidence says.

Not sure how it works. Usually they have to provide evidence that you committed a certain act. We know that Zimmerman shot Martin. Thats definitive. The motivation or reasoning for why that occurred is in doubt. When using a self defense, insanity, extenuating circumstances defense, often times the burden of proving that is on the defense.

If his head was being smacked to the ground with such violence, to the point of his life being in danger, it WOULD leave severe bruises and it WOULD show in the video. And the fact the kid was unarmed and half his size makes a huge difference. The guy could have controlled the kid with shooting him.

The motivation or reasoning for why that occurred is in doubt. When using a self defense, insanity, extenuating circumstances defense, often times the burden of proving that is on the defense.

If the evidence the state collects show self defense they don't usually prosecute. Now it there is no evidence present of self defense then yes...the defense would have to plant that idea. But if all the physical evidence already shows self defense.....then that's that.

Even if he was assaulted, he was much bigger than the kid and the kid was UNARMED, shooting him was not needed. It's not self-defense if your life is not in danger. His life was never in danger. This guy should rot in jail.

nunovlopes

Doesn't matter. From what the witness said....his life WAS in danger. Doesn't matter if the Teen/youth/young adult...not a kid....was unarmed. You don't have to have a weapon to be a danger to another person. Using the witness statement....he saw the dude in the red on the ground (GZ) being beaten with his head being slammed into the pavement by the other actor (TM). You do know that having one's head smacked into pavement CAN and HAS caused death? Right? You aren't merely spouting biased rhetoric or talking out your ass are you?

If his head was being smacked to the ground with such violence, to the point of his life being in danger, it WOULD leave severe bruises and it WOULD show in the video. And the fact the kid was unarmed and half his size makes a huge difference. The guy could have controlled the kid with shooting him.

First things first. Video was crap. You couldn't even see a face. Bruises do take a bit of time to show up...but with that clarity...it's not surprising that you wouldn't see them. Second....there is a mark on the head if you look at it closely....or at least appears to be. And third...he did receive medical treatment. So arguing against that seems illogical to me. It's a fact.

[QUOTE="sonicare"][QUOTE="Renevent42"] That's not how it works. The state has to have enough evidence to show Zimmerman was not defending himself and killed him in an illegal manner. The fact he killed Martin alone is not enough. According to an article I read, the cops actually did want to charge him with man slaughter but the state attorney's office said they did not have enough evidence, so the investigation continued.

No, you got it backwards. The government have all the proof they need, he killed the kid.

Self defense would make the shooting LEGAL...there are laws in place that actually defend the action (stand your ground). Insanity, on the other hand, does not make a crime legal...it's merely a defense and a consideration the court can take in a crime.

So the police report says he was bleeding and his back was wet and full of grass as if he was lying on the ground for a bit and that he was treated by an SFD before being taken to the police station.

A broke nose isn't very obvious and the SFD probably cleaned up all of the cuts and whatnot on the scene to stop infection.

I guess we'll just ignore the police report then and go with some low resolution video on youtube. It's just easier to make assumptions and call him racist. Must make you all feel so high and mighty that you can safely accuse the guy from your armchair.

I'm not saying what happened was right, but lately the assumptions and misinformation that go against that of the police report and witness reports are really annoying me. The media wants to see him hung and the internet is jumping on him because they like being the white knight in these situations.

I'm not sure who to believe at this point. There has been too many sources, too many stories, and too much media coverage to really understand what went on. I know that people want to place blame for a crime like this, but creating the whole picture of what happened takes time.

No the government doesn't or he'd have been arrested. They are still investigating. Self defense homicide is not prosecuted by the way. Thus far....that is what the evidence says.

Ok update the lead homicide detective wanted a arrest warrent for Mr. Zimmerman and the only eye witness saw only one person on the ground not two. He turned away to get his dog and hears a young man yelling for help then a gun shot and the cries stop.

There were more than one eye witness.

One eye witness saw a guy in a red shirt on the ground.

Where is this information coming from...I didn't see any new updates? Last time I read it was one eye witness and a few "ear shot" witnesses.

I heard the interview with the witness. What he said was the dude on the ground was being beaten by the other dude.....Zimmerman was on the ground...Martin on top of him. He also said Zimmerman was yelling for help....he told him to stop he'd call 911.

I've only seen a single police report, and that report was from the officer who responded to the scene. It mentions the injuries and Zimmerman getting aid from the SFD in his squad car. With that said, do you have links to show the two different police reports and which was first/second?

So the best argument you have is insulting other users and applying a name that doesn't even fit. You're not even a good troll dude. Just a wannabe....
