"looking about"
"looking at the houses"
" now he's just staring at me.."
"now he's coming towards me"
"he's got his hand in his waistband" ( OH SHIT!!! HOLD THE PHONE )
"somethin's wrong with him"
" Yep, he's comin to check me out " ( Cause I'm parked in the path to where he's walking " These assholes always get away "
"He's runnin..."
* Car door opens and closes *

"fucking punks"
"* are you following him?"

" Yep "
"* we don't need you to do that"

** you can hear wind as he moves quickly while holding his phone **

You really did skip a lot of the conversation.

Dispatcher: Sanford Police Department. ...
Zimmerman: Hey we've had some break-ins in my neighborhood, and there's a real suspicious guy, uh, [near] Retreat View Circle, um, the best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy is he white, black, or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.
Dispatcher: Did you see what he was wearing?
Zimmerman: Yeah. A dark hoodie, like a grey hoodie, and either jeans or sweatpants and white tennis shoes. He's [unintelligible], he was just staring...
Dispatcher: OK, he's just walking around the area...
Zimmerman: ...looking at all the houses.
Dispatcher: OK...
Zimmerman: Now he's just staring at me.
Dispatcher: OK--you said it's 1111 Retreat View? Or 111?
Zimmerman: That's the clubhouse... Dispatcher: That's the clubhouse, do you know what the--he's near the clubhouse right now?
Zimmerman: Yeah, now he's coming towards me.
Dispatcher: OK.
Zimmerman: He's got his hand in his waistband. And he's a black male.
Dispatcher: How old would you say he looks?
Zimmerman: He's got button on his shirt, late teens.
Dispatcher: Late teens ok.
Zimmerman: Somethings wrong with him. Yup, he's coming to check me out, he's got
something in his hands, I don't know what his deal is.
Dispatcher: Just let me know if he does anything ok
Zimmerman: How long until you get an officer over here?
Dispatcher: Yeah we've got someone on the way, just let me know if this guy does anything else.
Zimmerman: Okay. These assholes they always get away. When you come to the clubhouse you come straight in and make a left. Actually you would go past the clubhouse.
Dispatcher: So it's on the lefthand side from the clubhouse?
Zimmerman: No you go in straight through the entrance and then you make a left…uh you go straight in, don't turn, and make a left. Shit he's running.
Dispatcher: He's running? Which way is he running?
Zimmerman: Down towards the other entrance to the neighborhood.
Dispatcher: Which entrance is that that he's heading towards?
Zimmerman: The back entrance…fucking [unintelligible]
Dispatcher: Are you following him?
Zimmerman: Yeah
Dispatcher: Ok, we don't need you to do that.
Zimmerman: Ok
Dispatcher: Alright sir what is your name?
Zimmerman: George…He ran.
Dispatcher: Alright George what's your last name?
Zimmerman: Zimmerman
Dispatcher: And George what's the phone number you're calling from?
Zimmerman: [redacted by Mother Jones]
Dispatcher: Alright George we do have them on the way, do you want to meet with the officer when they get out there?
Zimmerman: Alright, where you going to meet with them at?
Zimmerman: If they come in through the gate, tell them to go straight past the club house, and uh, straight past the club house and make a left, and then they go past the mailboxes, that’s my truck...[unintelligible]

Dispatcher: What address are you parked in front of?
Zimmerman: I don’t know, it’s a cut through so I don’t know the address.
Dispatcher: Okay do you live in the area?
Zimmerman: Yeah, I...[unintelligible]
Dispatcher: What’s your apartment number?
Zimmerman: It’s a home it’s 1950, oh crap I don’t want to give it all out, I don’t know where this kid is.
Dispatcher: Okay do you want to just meet with them right near the mailboxes then?
Zimmerman: Yeah that’s fine.
Dispatcher: Alright George, I’ll let them know to meet you around there okay?
Zimmerman: Actually could you have them call me and I’ll tell them where I’m at?
Dispatcher: Okay, yeah that’s no problem.
Zimmerman: Should I give you my number or you got it?
Dispatcher: Yeah I got it [redacted by
Mother Jones]

Zimmerman: Yeah you got it.
Dispatcher: Okay no problem, I’ll let them know to call you when you’re in the area
Zimmerman: Thanks.
Dispatcher: You’re welcome.




At least be honest when you post things.

It's airdata/dari, and the rest of the crew. They blindly ignore important details such as that, anything to help make zimmerman "appear" guilty, anything to further their white-guilt cause.

Just like when (was it CBS?) changed the transcript to make Z appear racist by removing the question the dispatcher asked about race.

No, it's not. It's prejudicial. Incriminating would be if he talked about how he was going to murder Martin, or hide evidence.

An incriminating statement establishes guilt. What you are putting forth potentially implies it, but it certainly does not prove it.

no it doesn't "establish" guilt. Actually you just used the word, imply, which is pretty much a synonym for implicate.

I'm not an etymologist, but I suspect that "prejudicial" means what it sounds like, something that exists before judgement.

So in this case since Zimmerman's remarks will most likely be part of the trial, not a pre-existing condition, prejudicial is probably a less accurate description.

I've already posted info from a REAL ATTORNEY, not an overly emotional troll as all Martin supporters are called that unequivocably reminds us that often circumstantial evidence is more damning than direct evidence and that Zimmermans inconsistent statements could be viewed as a sign of guilt by jurors. Yet the dummies here pretend thsts impossible and WE are the stupid ones. JLK is right, they are either paid to come here and post stupid shit, know Zimmerman or are trolls. Those are the only options because the way they argue indisputable legal facts is ridiculous.

"The initial conclusion is GZ lied about the nature and extent of Martin’s attack because his injuries do not support his story and his conflicting claim regarding where and how Martin confronted him tells us he changed his story during the walk-through video the next day when he realized there were no bushes at the scene behind which Martin could have been hiding.

What do these lies suggest?

They suggest GZ went looking for Martin in the area between the two rows of townhouses and found him where the shooting occurred.

If that is what happened, why would he lie about it?

The obvious conclusion is that he did not want to admit that he went hunting for Martin and found him.

Why is that a problem?

Maybe it has something to do with his statement, “These assholes, they always get away, fuckin’ coons.”

Hmmnn. That sounds like GZ was determined to make sure this “asshole” did not get away.

Why would GZ lie about Martin jumping him?

Could it be because he knew an aggressor cannot claim self-defense?

A pattern is apparent in these lies. They all appear to be motivated by a desire to cover up that he was the aggressor who hunted down TM and attempted to detain him, but TM did not submit to his authority willingly. A struggle ensued in which GZ sustained some minor injuries and he shot and killed TM without legal justification.

This is the incredible power of circumstantial evidence because, ultimately, the explanations GZ offers for each item of evidence become increasingly strained until they degenerate into irrelevant and irritating whining.

As I have said before, he is his own worst enemy and his conviction of the crime of Murder in the Second Degree will materialize out of his own lyin’ mouth and the abundant circumstantial evidence." FLblogs

You've got to be kidding. It's that witness that makes it absolutely clear it was lawful self defense in every way possible.

Exactly. So if his testimony is shown to be unreliable, which it will be if he's made inconsistent statements, then his testimony makes Zimmerman's case weaker, not stronger.

The jury isn't trying to find Zimmerman innocent, they don't start from a point of view that statements in his favor are true, they evaluate them based on the credibility of the witness.

The jury must start with the mindset that GZ is innocent until proven guilty by a reasonable doubt.

http://frederickleatherman.wordpres...ns-for-second-degree-murder-and-self-defense/

The defendant, George Zimmerman, is presumed innocent and remains innocent unless the jury unanimously finds him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.


The defendant has no burden to produce any evidence or to testify in this case. He has a constitutional right to not testify and the jury may not assume anything regarding his silence.


The State has the burden of proving each element of the crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt.


Since the defendant admits killing Trayvon Martin, but claims he was legally justified to do so in self-defense, the State must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he did not kill Trayvon Martin in self-defense.


A reasonable doubt is a doubt for which a reason exists. It is such a doubt as would exist in the mind of a reasonable person after fully, fairly and carefully considering all of the evidence or lack of evidence.

All of the above are things I've argued AD NAUSEUM for months yet the tactic of GZ supporters is to attack every claim we make as if it has no factual or legal basis and they are the only ones viewing this case from a purely factual and legal perspective...bullshit.

There is Geosurface arguing it was Zimmerman screaming when all objective evidence and TWO EXPERTS say otherwise and idiots like Spidey holding on to the beaten with concrete story when no physical or medical evidence exists to support that claim.

Yet you idiots act as if all of GZs inconsistent statements and the physical evidence including where Martins body was eventually found could never cast a reasonable doubt that what Zimmerthug says is a lie and is indicative of his guilt.

Martin supporters have argued from the beginning that circumstantial evidence and Zimmermans apparent lies have cast a REASONABLE DOUBT that his story is a lie and he murdered Martin. The state and the judge believed the same thing or Zimmerthug would never have been arrested. IF ALL OF.ZIMMERMANS STORY LINED UP WITH EVIDENCE WE WOULDNT EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS CASE. Leatherman said that as well. Zimmerman fans look like straight up TROLLS for failing to concede at the least that Zimmerman has both a credibility and a physical evidence problem since the altercation happened in a place that paints Zimmerman as the pursuer.

How are questions from an attorney and the answers from the investigator while under oath not accurate.

Because they omit the context in which the statements are given.

You said the "lead investigator" said they have no evidence that Zimmerman continued to follow Martin, or that he confronted Martin.

He never said either of those things. Zimmerman's lawyer said those things, and attempted to get the investigator to agree with him. The investigator disagreed with Zimmerman's lawyer about a number of things, including if he was a "lead" investigator.

So, if you leave out the disagreeing statements, and only quote the part of the transcript where his answers are qualified by preceding statements, you can get an inaccurate account of the entirety of his testimony.

Which is part of a defense lawyer's job, to minimize the prosecution's case.

????

I am saying that Zimmermans lies and the physical evidence has cast reasonable doubt in my mind thats hes not telling the truth.

Leatherman says that's the standard the jurors will use as well:

Quote: The defendant, George Zimmerman, is presumed innocent and remains innocent unless the jury unanimously finds him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

The biggest reason I believe Zimmerman intended to harm Martin is based upon two things:
1. His own indisputable testimony that cannot be debunked and thats the NEN call where he had already developed clear malice towards Martin BEFORE Martin said or did a single them to him therefore anything Martin said or did AFTER he came face to face with Zimmerman, short of getting on his knees and confessing to a crime ENRAGED ZIMMERMAN. I have no reason to believe the angry, irritated and chasing.Zimmerman suddenly became docile when he encountered Martin and witness testimony of a loud argument including what DeeDee said corroborates that fact. I believe he chased and encountered Martin with harmful intent and the fact that he tries to place the mindset of harmful intent on to Martin betrays his guilt. When asked why Martin would be the one who wanted to hurt him he could not answer because no answer would make any sense outside of, "because I chased him down and confronted him when I had seen him commit no crime."

2. The physical evidence says WITHOUT A DOUBT that Zimmerman went into Trayvon's "space" and not the other way around. Had this encounter happened near Zimmermans truck seconds after he hung up with police I might believe he was ambushed. Yet this happened more than 2 minutes after he hung up and.closer to Trayvons place than Zimmermans truck that all points to Zimmerman continuing to be the aggressor he was on the phone with NEN.

Gilbreath is one of the SA's office investigators on this case and signed his name to the probable cause affidavit. No doubt he answered the questioned exactly as was posted. If this case makes it to trial you can bet O'Mara will repeat these questions again.

I thought for a second that you might have started putting some thought into your post, I see I was wrong, you're simply copy pasting lying blog entries that support your ignorant, race fueled bias. Still Grade A, USDA Choice garbage in, garbage out. As you were.

You do understand that if zimmerman was the initial aggressor he can still shoot in self defense when he is on his back, being restrained, unable to retreat, after being severely beaten right?

You do know that, right? That is a fact, that is the law. What martin did was a forcible felony and the only crime committed that night was by the thug.

You have never been severely beaten if you think that was a severe beating.

Ok, we're back to the "he wasn't beaten bad enough to justifably shoot".

The law disagrees with you. Just the threat of bodily harm/death is enough. And a broken nose, multiple head lacerations and facial lacerations/abrasions is a brutal beating requiring a hospital visit.

Just think of how bad it would have been had he not shot him, he saved his life or at the very least saved from permanent debilitating injury.
