  1. Zimmerman claimed to be getting out of his truck to "read a street sign" to give to the police dispatcher despite the fact there are only three streets in his neighbourhood, and that he's lived there for several years, and he should be able to remember three street names after that much time in the neighbourhood.

  2. Zimmerman claimed to have no knowledge of the "Stand Your Ground" laws, despite receiving an "A" grade and being proclaimed one of the best students in his criminal justice class which specifically covered these laws.

  3. Zimmerman claims Martin started the altercation, despite the testimony of Rachel Jeantel who was actually speaking to Martin when the altercation began. Her version is completely at odds with Zimmerman's version of how the struggle began between the two.

  4. Zimmerman claims Martin pounded his head into the sidewalk 20-25 times, despite no DNA evidence on Martin other than a small amount on two fingers. This trace amount of DNA evidence is consistent with the punch in the nose, but the vast majority of punches in the nose are not life-threatening and do not justify murder.

  5. Zimmerman claims Martin circled his vehicle in a menacing fashion, but yet failed to mention this to the police dispatcher during his call.

  6. Zimmerman claims Martin jumped out of some bushes and ambushed him, despite there being no bushes in the vicinity of where they struggled.

  7. Zimmerman claims Martin reached for his gun, despite the fact that the gun was black, in a black holster, behind his hip where Martin would have had a lot of trouble viewing it in the dark during a physical altercation. There are also no fingerprints on the weapon other than Zimmerman's.

These are some of the biggest lies he told, not to mention the dialogue which sounds like a 1950s film noir detective story which he attributed to Martin. "You're gonna die tonight" and "Do you have a problem? Well you do now" etc etc.

Your reply is partisan and obnoxious. - 15/07/2013 02:15:13 PM 903 Views
So it was okay that he was on top of a guy, pounding his head into the pavement? - 14/07/2013 06:45:17 PM 906 Views
If you can believe Zimmerman's side of the story is 100% truth, I have a bridge for sale... - 15/07/2013 05:35:08 PM 1004 Views

In a sane world, here is how their interaction plays out - 15/07/2013 05:44:26 PM 846 Views
Yes. And the fact that he didn't simply ask him what he was doing, tells me he was racial profiling - 15/07/2013 08:59:41 PM 838 Views
The only way that statement makes sense is if it is sarcasm - 16/07/2013 12:46:59 PM 789 Views

Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. Which neighborhood watch were you referring to? - 15/07/2013 12:46:44 AM 931 Views

would that be true for most of politics as well? *NM* - 16/07/2013 12:58:33 PM 523 Views
Depends on the case, but those aren't individual life and death criminal trials - 16/07/2013 01:52:00 PM 765 Views
when the president gets involved it is safe to polotics are at play. - 16/07/2013 06:23:54 PM 819 Views
That's not an unfair remark but it justifies criticizing him, not also getting involved in the case - 16/07/2013 06:59:53 PM 832 Views
When a case shows glaring holes in the law, it should by nature cause those laws to be reconsidered - 16/07/2013 07:18:57 PM 925 Views
I'm not sure what those 'glaring holes' are, but a specific person shouldn't be needed to show them - 16/07/2013 08:18:38 PM 824 Views
It is a bit difficult to not use the case when the specificity of the case is the problem.... - 16/07/2013 11:06:59 PM 894 Views
I sympathize with that but I think it remains a moral necessity to do so - 17/07/2013 12:14:39 AM 959 Views

I just want to comment on two points from your reply - 19/07/2013 09:47:06 PM 786 Views
I'm pretty throughly exhausted of this - 19/07/2013 10:46:22 PM 891 Views

Thanks - 16/07/2013 09:48:00 PM 812 Views
Well said. - 17/07/2013 02:25:36 PM 976 Views
it is possible to discuss a case based on what the evidence shows - 17/07/2013 06:03:05 PM 967 Views
Of course it is possible, one just fails to see how it can serve any good end - 17/07/2013 09:43:02 PM 832 Views
Exactly. *NM* - 18/07/2013 02:08:25 AM 588 Views

You have tried retroatcively making Martin a criminal here, despite him doing nothing wrong - 15/07/2013 10:52:32 PM 855 Views
So you support attacking creepy crackers who you think are following you? - 16/07/2013 12:56:52 PM 850 Views
The law suggests that if I fear for my safety, I am justified in attacking first in self-defense - 18/07/2013 11:00:58 PM 922 Views
there is zero evidience to support that assumption - 19/07/2013 04:25:15 AM 785 Views
Let's see - Martin was using drugs..... - 16/07/2013 04:56:13 PM 843 Views
Does that mean he should have been hunted down and shot? *NM* - 16/07/2013 05:22:43 PM 515 Views
He wasn't, so your question is irrelevant. - 16/07/2013 05:37:27 PM 768 Views
