You're another passive aggressive Zimmerman supporter.
I'm neutral, actually.
Neutrality != passive-aggression.
Trayvon bashing Zimmerman's head against the concrete has not been proven. The medical expert that testified said that the cuts/scrapes to the back of his head were minor and were caused by one hit against the concrete.
Rao also said that it could have been multiple hits against the concrete, becuase there were 2 specific lacerations on the back of the head. But the most interesting part was that Rao didn't examine Zimmerman, she just looked at pictures and took an educated guess based on her background as an ME.
Since the case deals with self defense, the real question is not how many times GZ's head was bashed against the concrete or how much blood pour out of his head and nose, but rather did he "fear for his life."
The 911 call that Zimmerman made is proof that he acted with ill will and a depraved mind...He follows Martin instigating a confrontation, yet he then refuses to identify himself as some type of neighborhood watch guy who's just concerned about the neighborhood...Again, even Zimmerman said that Trayvon tried to run away.
But the dispatcher, Sean Noffke, testified in court and said he didn't believe GZ acted with ill will or a depraved mind. Wendy Dorival, the Neighborhood Watch coordinator testified that "walking in the rain without a purpose" could be taken as suspicious behavior. GZ's neighbor has said that GZ helped him chase down a burglar that broke into his house before. Towards the middle of the dispatcher call, GZ tells the dispatcher that he lost TM, so the dispatcher tells him to instead wait for the police.
He had ill will toward Trayvon the second that he saw him
Is it possible to have ill will towards someone you literally have never met before? Is calling 911 before killing someone an example of a depraved mind?
Zimmerman's nose wasn't broken, it was just swollen. If he had a broken nose then he wouldve went to the hospital that night.
The nose was broken, the EMT Kevin O'Rourke said so. But there's nothing doctors can do about broken noses, and most heal naturally without medical intervention.
He also claims that Trayvon was attempting to smother him with his hands, but the fact that there wasn't any Zimmerman DNA on Trayvon's doesn't support that claim either. How could there be no Zimmerman DNA on Martin's hands if he was indeed beating Zimmerman down with punches and trying to smother him by covering his mouth/nose?
The DNA expert, Anthony Gorgone, testified that TM's clothing were improperly packaged. They were put inside plastic while still wet instead of a paper bag. When he opened up the plastic bags, he said they smelled of "water and mold", and he went on to say that water and mold destroy DNA.
The prosecution did a good job of proving that Trayvon's DNA wasn't on GEorge or his gun, but they couldn't deny that the DNA sources were mishandled.
And then there was Shiping Bao's testimony. When asked why he didn't even take pictures of Trayvon's hands and fingers, he said he thought it wasn't important, and "it wasn't my job". He ranted about not knowing anything, not remembering, reading books, changing his opinion every hour, etc. He said he didn't remember anything about hte autopsy and had to read from his notes he took. His whole testimony made me feel like he intentionally left out important facts that could have helped the defense.
If you claim self defense after killing someone then you have a burden as a defendant.
I don't know the laws of FL, but I think that self defense/stand your ground means you "I feared for my life." Once self defense is invoked, the burden of proof shifts to the accuser (the prosecution).
You can't just kill someone in a situation where there aren't witnesses
But there are circumstantial witnesses. The thing that's missing for the prosecution is that their witnessing aren't all on the same page. There is no uniformity. Not all of them agree that GZ acted with a depraved mind. Not all of them agree that GZ wasn't acting in self defense.
The lack of uniformity creates reasonable doubt in the mind.
The 911 call is strong evidence that Zimmerman wasn't acting in self defense because it paints him as the instigator of their confrontation.
But this goes back to what I already said: since when does the person that's about to kill another person call 911 before they go through with it? It's so illogical. If you're going to kill someone, why would you let the police know you're about to do it, and where, and give other details like your name and such.
Well you obviously came into this pro-Zimmerman.
I'm not pro-Zimmerman. fukk that guy.
None of the witnesses saw anything except the aftermath. Even the guy who claims to have saw Trayvon top, didn't see Trayvon throwing any punches
John Good testified that he saw Trayvon punching "gound and pound" on GZ.
