George Zimmerman’s Written Statement To Sanford Police

WhatisJustice

Recording 4- GZ says his didn’t know the guy at the bar was ATF, but I read the LEO’s account and he said he identified himself to GZ beforehand. Just another lie!
AKRNC

Found another discrepancy tonight in GZ’s initial statement when compared to the others. At approximately 15:30 in the first tape, he says that he felt TM’s hand brush against the side of his chest, reaching for his firearm, then he says that as TM banged his head again, he pulled out his firearm and shot him. In order for TM to be banging his head as GZ claims, he’d have to use both hands so when did he change his mind about going for GZ’s gun? There is so much bullshit in this story that the more I listen to the discrepancies in these tapes the more furious I become. Damn, it shouldn’t take anything more than an alert jury and prosecution to convict this guy.

At the police station and during the re-enactment, he says he gained wrist control and had hold of TM’s wrist and had time to aim and shoot the gun in order to not hit his own hand. HUGE discrepancy, IMO. Especially since I’d think the initial story would be the most likely to be true, IF he ever told the truth, which I don’t believe GZ did.

In another version, GZ says that TM was smothering him immediately prior to shooting him. So which one is it, George? You’re going to have a difficult time on the witness stand trying to figure out which story to tell and answering to all these many lies you’ve told. I’m looking forward to seeing BDLR tear your ass to pieces while you arrogantly believe you can sell your bullshit to the jury.
AKRNC

Listening to these interviews a second time, after several months, a lot more really stands out about the discrepancies in GZ’s statements. A couple things that I hadn’t thought of before except in passing really don’t make any sense at all. How can TM allegedly be hitting GZ over and over, banging his head on the ground repeatedly and yet GZ never attempts to pull his hands off his head or grab them. GZ’s and TM’s hands are remarkably unscathed for a fight in which GZ said he was in fear for his life. Why aren’t there at least deep scratches or marks on TM’s hands? I’d think the first thing someone would do if another person was banging their head into the ground would be to pull at their hands, trying to get them to stop.

Singleton asks GZ about the style or length of TM’s hair but he says he had a hoodie on. In all this rolling around and fighting, his hood stayed up the entire time? Including when he fell off GZ after being shot? This was the cleanest, smoothest, alleged “fight for life” that I’ve ever heard of and I’ve encountered quite a number of them when I was in the E.R. as a Nurse Practitioner. I never would have believed GZ’s fairy tale if he had told me the same thing if I knew the other person had been killed by his gun. The line about how “I unholstered my firearm in fear for my life as he assured me he was going to kill me” conveniently covers the self-defense angle but far too “neatly” IMO. This also came from a defendant who claims he never heard of the SYG law. GZ is either telling a blatant lie or he’s fucking stupid. In this case, both reasons appear far too often.

RockyMissouri

Excellent questions..!

1cubsfan

why did they give date as FEB 22?
Kevin Rae

George Zimmerman couldn’t give a proper description of where he was in his own neighborhood though he lived there for years. George Zimmerman tells a different story with regards to how he fell afer being punched in the face. On the Feb 26 and 27, in one he says he fell back after being punched the other statement by him indicated he fell forward. There are a ton of inconsistencies that I haven’t yet explored. George Zimmerman fact he killed Trayvon Martin unnecessarily by following him and confronting the teenager. The teen was on his way home and because George Zimmerman decided this child was up to no good phoned the police on the non-emergency number as he was trained, and to call 911 if there was an actual crime taking place. George Zimmerman knew that no crime was taking place and acted like an unofficial enforcer of the law by suspiciously following a young man of 17 or 18 with no agenda but to return with Ice Tea and Skittles. But George Zimmerman’s agenda was to stop and fight crime where ever he thinks it maybe. He certainly thought that Trayvon was up to no good acting suspiciously supposedly looking at houses although George Zimmerman also said Trayvon was walking calmly down the street. “They always get away” that is what he told the dispatcher, Trayvon was one of them in this instance and is characterized in Zimmerman’s mind as one of those that cause crimes even though there was no evidence of a crime existed. Still George Zimmerman could not let go that another one of those (criminals) is getting away. Trayvon that night did nothing illegal he was characterized in an eager law enforcement wannabe’s mind as some criminal that he called the police though no crime happened, but Zimmerman was not going to let go, he wants to make a difference. Well he did he killed a child of 17, 18 he told the dispatchers that he was a teen 17 or 18 Zimmerman later characterizes him as an adult in later statements to mediate his complicity in Trayvon’s death. George Zimmerman ruined alot of lives that night Trayvon and his family, friends, etc, ruined his own life and his family. George Zimmerman is not the person you want to watch over you. What if he thought you were doing something suspicious and confronts you and he’s carrying a firearm, I’d rather have the police protecting me. They have to have training and special skills to enforce the law and they take an oath to uphold the law not be judge, jury and executioner, when there is a police involved shooting an officer is not allowed back in the field till he is cleared though internal investigations. Old George doesn’t need that just make up the rules as he goes along. He said he was trained to look for suspicious persons by Neighborhood Watch but you’re not supposed to carry a firearm or a weapon let alone confront suspicious persons but to observe and notify police. I am sick of this man and his evil righteousness that blinded him from seeing that he killed over no crime. Is suspicion enough to lead to the death of someone so young. By the way the last thing on Trayvon’s mind was probably to get into a fight and die that night. At least George Zimmerman brought the right weapon to settle a fight. R.I.P. Trayvon our hearts are with you. George Zimmerman, you can go to Hell.

clifford715

He really lied on the dispatcher on the aud and vid tape.
http://www.facebook.com/klaymoor.ralph Klaymoor Ralph

So.. George can fight off an undercover ATF agent but not a 17 year old kid he had to shoot him. George Zimmerman is a liar and going to a Florida prison for a long time.

re: Recording #4 – was Det. Serino just messing with GZ or was there a video, photo or something else on TM’s cellphone or was there a video that GZ was not aware of in the subdivision that caught this on tape? I guess the answer would be there wasn’t or this case would be closed with GZ admitting guilt.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000719183647 Lisa Anderson Simon

In the first tape, he had already lost track of time. He asked if it was the 21st. Huh?
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1232102028 Terrence Caviness

one last points…. Boy George states that his car lights were partially lighting the walk way although, he states he turned off the ignition and took the keys with him. He goes on to say the lights stay on for some unspecified amount of time then go off.. I would definitely get a make and model of his vehicle and inquire as to how long or if this is possible and under what condition do the lights stay on or go off. something something something something just a’int not rightttt (shout out to Keith Sweat). Once police arrived on the scene where exactly was his truck parked and why was it not impound or photographed at the the time.

Last this is a perfect example of how fucked up this country is , not talking about Baby G we know he’s fucked up, I mean the resident who did not even look or try to see who was screaming, correction for the most part not all … or turn on the patio light; it could have been anybody!! A child being abducted or whatever!! not to place any major blame on them but damn please grow some phucking nuts!!!
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1232102028 Terrence Caviness

1. The EMT testified that George nose did not look like it normally
looked… WTF does that mean how would he know how boy George’s nose
normally looks?.. it might be stretch but I found that strange.

2.
I’m gun man myself so I would question whether boy Georges gun was all
ready in the fire ready mode (off safety one in the chamber) this
DEFINITELY requires two hands. I thought that was illegal. Not sure what
Florida laws are now but when i lived in Jville that was illegal i
think.

3. George based on his 911 call clearly was not looking
for an address EVEN when asked several times he could not provide
one…. the reason being that he was on the dog walk perhaps and
definitely not looking for and address. Oh and not frustrated about
giving one. quite the liar are we baby G.

4. Finally until challenged George say the Trayvon was scream and also does
not recognize his own voice and had to be told it was he … I thought that was major screw up by Serino although felt like he got a lot of good on this guy.

I meant Tape #3 at 3:50.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000719183647 Lisa Anderson Simon

I’m listening to the 2/27 – 12:05 a.m. tape. Listen to how perky, coherent and very clear headed for a guy who almost “die[d] tonight”. Tape #3 at 3:50 was all I had to hear to be convinced it was murder and not self-defense. “he yelled out for help.. and I shot him.”
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000719183647 Lisa Anderson Simon

The new judge has heard one SYG hearing. The judge determined that she did not believe the defendant. The jury found him innocent within a month. The difference is that one of the assailants was using a glass table top and his brother was with him. The judge has to determine guilt from preponderence of evidence. There is that. GZ leaving his vehicle and not remaining at his vehicle even after the suggestion of the non-EM operator. That makes him the aggressor. That takes it to trial. What the jury determines has to determine is if the state proved the defendant’s guilt beyond every reasonable doubt. I think, if the jury is dealing with this as a separate case from their own experience(s) or any other biases, what they will see is that this case is different from the one the judge lost. Trayvon did not have a glass table top to throw at GZ. He had only his fists. He was not a professional boxer or fighter. He did not use his tea can or skittles. If George was really worried about being hurt, he would not have “squirmed” to get off of the concrete and onto the grass. He would have fought back. He did not fight back because he was not the victim at any point. He was the aggressor but we’ll have to wait and see how the jury views it. Prayerfully, people will see TM the same as they saw the homeless guy against the 2 brothers and rule against GZ.
Shareese Dixon

The photo that the 1st witness on the scene took of Trayvon has hit the web. Trayvon’s arms are not spread as indicated by George several times as he asked the witness to help him to restrain a lifeless Trayvon. Apparently the witness knew he would capture some evidence against George or he would not have taken the picture and withhold it for almost a month only to turn it over during his 2nd interview. I think this is what his nervous laugh was about as he pulled it up on his computer. I do believe that this gentleman had more to say and does not believe George for one second.

In tape 3, for a man that was so traumatized and beaten, broken nose and all, he would rather go to work and school than stay home and recouperate or help the police prove him innocent. I recall that he was sent home from work the next day because he needed a doctor’s note and the police report.

Questions for Thought

I fell face first onto a cement sidewalk and broke my nose. I had two severely black eyes (took over two weeks for the black/blue to go away) and the first couple of days after the fall, my swollen eyes were like slits, couldn’t put on glasses, couldn’t see, couldn’t read, watch tv, or anything!!

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000719183647 Lisa Anderson Simon

In the interviews with Singleton, he was punched in the nose and fell backwards. In the reenactment, he stumbled forward. He can’t even keep it straight with one interview and goes wild when he has a man interviewing him. Notice how pretty clear headed and strong voiced he sounds on the same night that it happened. He stopped sniffling after a few minutes also. Also notice how much more cautious and quiet he gets. He makes certain that his voice barely registers on the tape.
LSimon3321

He makes me think of Norman Bates in these interviews – all quiet and polite but hiding a demon within.
clifford715

If Zim is knocked down and beat up at the T, why is TM found 45 to 50ft down the walkway? It just doesn’t make sense to me.
http://www.facebook.com/TeeTee03 Renee Edwards

I am having a hard time getting past the part of GS’s own statement that TM saw his gun when his shirt and jacket became untucked. Now on the police video his shirt is completely tucked in. Hmmmmmmm. Also if he was laying on his back how is it that on the bloody photos the blood is running towards his face, the laws of gravity so not possible.
Jill88

Oh damn and the female Detective confronts him about the inconsistencies in the story from what he told her and now what he is telling Serino. lolll It takes too much to edit a story, it catches up to him in the end. Recording #6 @13:30 Serino asks why he didn’t get back into his car, GZ starts fumbling, stuttering…….but didn’t he tell the world or his family or Frank Taaffe(the racist) that he was attacked while he was getting back into his car?

Ddford

U mean white t- shirt Taafee, the one who first confronted TM. Seems DD’s call almost let us know that it wasn’t Z. His call ended with NE at 7:13:39 or about her call ended at 7:12 when she calls back there is talking going on. U can tell by Z’s voice change that he sees something. BTW if knowing that TM started running from the mailboxes and Z’s calls starts at the club house and ends when he passes thru the cut-through at RVC and says I don’t know where this kid is, it’s because he turned right toward the back gate then realized that it’s no use turns to go back the way he came. TM on the other hand turned left and circled the first unit to come back to head down the sidewalk to home. But guess who he he runs into yeah that right t- shirt man comming from Z’s suv. They meet on the cut through next to caller number one. If you listen to Z’s call you can hear someone in the suv with Z when Z say he ran or running you can hear someone say YEAH

Jill88

I don’t know. I don’t remember. He’s intimidated by Serino. His voice is so quiet and mousey. LOLLLL PUNK A**. This guy is a savage, manipulator and caught in a corner he shrivels up. He can’t describe nothing, he can’t recall this or that. How the f*** does he not remember how the kid was running?

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000719183647 Lisa Anderson Simon

I think he’s speaking quietly to keep from being heard on the tapes but just loud enough for them to hear him. According to the Insanity on Hannity interview, he was skipping. A skipping thug? Doesn’t that image terrify you? (You don’t know me. I’m being sarcastic.)
CJ Elkins

cause he wasn’t running, He was “skipping leisurely” LoL
CJ Elkins

When Serino “told him that was him screaming” He said “Don’t sound like me” Ofcourse now he needs it so it does sound like him…When the Zimmerman clan had his back he was denying it himself? Jeeeez Took Trayvon’s voice twice! Low down piece of scraps! jmho
Shareese Dixon

But “know every adult and every kid in his neighborhood”, but what he doesn’t know is the name of the street? He clearly says that he “knew that if I kept walking through, that is the street that I live on”. Not sure how they both missed that. So why are you looking for a street sign? The houses in front of the parked car were the front with numbers on them. There is no way that he should not have been arrested that night based on all of the lies he told just that evening alone. The ultimate insult is when he says Trayvon was “skipping”! Like dude, really, do you think that everyone is as dumb as you are? That baby seen that gun and screamed out in fear of being murdered for no reason. I also did not appreciate how Serino said that he wished Trayvon had run away!!! What the hell, George chased him down because run away is exactly what he was trying to do!

Mamere

Can’t view on iPad. Suggestion, please
Awiggins1218

And if he’s head was feeling like it was going to exploded like he said. And Trayvon he said he had one hand on his nose and one on his mouth why didn’t the screaming stop or pause? Lies after lies they better not let this man get off. He’s a liar and bold face liar and his dad knows that’s not his voice.
Awiggins1218

In his statement I notice that he calls Trayvon the Suspect not the young man or the kid like he said on the 911 call. He said Suspect like he was a police officer or something. Hmmmm he thinks he’s a cop and that’s what he thought that night!
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_L5QOIXNZOUJHCMEOPUM547BBQY Lisa S

On tape 3 at 3:55, George states that he drew his weapon after Trayvon battered his head a few times and yelled for help….WHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAATTTTT?
mandytoronto

OH MY GOD. Why isn’t recording #6 all over the internet. This is the first i have heard it and what a liar he is. First the cops did a amazing job interviewing him. Playing the 911 call and stopping it to ask questions for every statement he said. Every time the cops asked him something that made him look bad and like a liar he would say I DONT REMEMBER. Yet when the cop asks is it possible treyvon saw your gun as soon as you approached him and George right away say NO He couldnt of seen it. So much of the statements are not the same and you could tell he was lying. I cannot wait till all the truth comes out at trial and people can finally hear everything. A poor young man is dead for no friggin reason and it makes me so mad. George Zimmerman needs to be punished for what he has done.

http://profile.yahoo.com/Y753VAKAXMR6Q2W2ESLFOK5VSE Sharee

I wish that George would just confess, plea and pray for forgiveness. He is such a liar that it is unreal that there was no arrest sooner for this senseless murder. I hate the way he always try to tie Trayvon in to what happened previously. That kid did absolutely nothing wrong. If he did beat the crap out of George, he had every right to stand his ground especially after being followed by a crazy looking man. The liar says he did not know that he shot Trayvon until he got to the police station yet he asked the 1st on the scene to call his wife like it was no big deal immediately after he shot Trayvon!

http://profile.yahoo.com/X3SXPKDOBTYDVXQUIBPPYTGFLQ dafe

after shooting straight into the heart he claim trayvon said you got me or you got it,how possible is that you got shot in the heart and you could still muster a word,this guy zimmerman is a class act,the trial is going to reveal all his lies

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000719183647 Lisa Anderson Simon

Since “You got it” and similar phrases are typical of George, I’d say that’s George saying that to someone. Who? I don’t know. In the Hannity Interview, he said something about going to the other end to meet a cop or something and in the Insanity on Hannity, he said that he yelled because he knew the police were there and to help them find him. I don’t believe he yelled. I believe he got punched and he may have scraped his head when they rolled but I don’t think he yelled because Trayvon was beating his head against the concrete. I keep imagining, when I listen to George in various places state that he tried to sit up and Trayvon tried to bang his head on the ground that it must have been like those awful nightmares where you are fighting or running and can’t seem to get any strength behind your hit or speed to your run. It’s horrible!

breathlessly_sufficient

what are you trying to say.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000719183647 Lisa Anderson Simon

TM’s death must have felt like a nightmare. Like in nightmares when you are trying to hit someone/fight back and you can’t seem to move the object you are hitting. I don’t believe George was having his head banged. He states that “he tried” to bang my head on the concrete. I would think that means TM was not successful.

http://profile.yahoo.com/X3SXPKDOBTYDVXQUIBPPYTGFLQ dafe

listen to gz on recording #1,where he claim he thinks trayvon was upset that he called the police,how did he know that if there was no confrontation,obviously this is a make up story
thetigersnameistony

in his written statement, he says Trayvon told him, “you’re gonna die tonight.” He then writes something like, I unholstered my weapon because I was in fear for my life since he just assured me he was going to kill me.

Is it me, or does that sound a little to “perfect.” Secondly, do people who are pounding another’s head into the concrete continue chatting about what they are gonna do to them? I’m thinking not likely. He is so full of it!

Jill88

#1 some of the things he says correlates with what DD said, but the rest he is making up. I still don’t and won’t ever believe a child walking home from the store and talking on the phone would decide out of the blue to assault someone. #2 I was looking for the autopsy report, I don’t see it on the list. The reason is I do believe it said Martin was shot in the heart, BOTH OF HIS LUNGS COLLAPSED, the bullet ripped the pericardial sac around the heart and perforated the left ventricle if I recall. My point is this, in the interrogation with the female officer he says once he shoots Martin he then ends up on top of him spreads his arms out and according to him the kid is still talking and moving. How can this kid still be talking and oooing and ahhing when his lungs have collapsed. Death is probably almost instantaneous. But then someone here said Martin’s arms were found underneath his body but according to Zimmerman he spread them eagle as to restrain him?? This douchebag is a liar.

Ijustwanttogivemyopinion

Tape 3 @ 3:43 ?Who Screams? there is sum confusion listen 2 it *GZ says after Trayvon screams then he pulls out his gun and shots him then he changes it.
Tape 1 and 3 ?What does Trayvon really say? Tape 1 @ 15:29 Tape 2 @ 4:14 *Tape 1 and 3 he tells wat travion said 2 him……..but both are differnt!!!!!!
Please Listen!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000719183647 Lisa Anderson Simon

THANK YOU! I have been trying to find that spot on the tapes for days. Also, on the reenactment tape, he says, “He put his hand on his nose and mouth, I mean, he put his hand on my nose and mouth.” The truth comes out of him. This also makes me think someone else was there helping him – the white t-shirt man who herded Trayvon back up the walk.
michael hairston

Good catch he almost said after he screamed wow

thetigersnameistony

he said “what the efs ur problem homie.” What movie was Zimmerman watching, lol.

clifford715

I don’t think 17 year black males use the word “homey” these days. That’s used mostly by older people in their 50s on up.

thetigersnameistony

Never been more convinced he’s a nut. He wanted to be a hero. An arrest was already made in the thefts in the neighborhood a week prior. It was eating him alive that he didn’t save the day, so he makes his own hero story up, shoot, maybe he even believed it himself, and kills an innocent boy. So upsetting. WHyyyyyy, did it take so long to arrest him? Sooooo sad.

TruthSeeker

On one of GZ many, many dispatch calls, he tells the dispatcher that his wife ID’d a burglar. I looked at the burglary reports, and I don’t see Shellie Zimmerman listed as having identified burglars. There were 2 witnesses to a burglary listed on those reports, and the names were male.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000908101639 Ruby Mouzon

Zimmerman stated that he spread Tray arms out! Then how did his arms got under him?
sosad

This story breaks my heart!! Am I reading this right? In his words, he follows this kid, has an altercation, shoots him in the torso from a couple of inches away, and then while this kid is dying, he restrains him. So this kid is breathing his last breathe and George Zimmerman gets on top of him and restrains him. WOW!! How does anybody justify this behavior??

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000908101639 Ruby Mouzon

No Zimmerman shot him in the heart close range! I doubt very much that the Kid uttered another word!

Barbarah89

Ruby, listen to audio #7 this is so sad gz said tm was holdind his mouth but the screams never stopped. That had to been tm screaming.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000719183647 Lisa Anderson Simon

He says he didn’t think he got him but he jumps on top of him and holds his arms out but most of all, that last shot stopped the screaming. If he didn’t think he got him, why would he stop yelliing for help? Also, strangely, he’s doing all this wiggling to get off of the cement, looking at the neighbor looking through the window all while his head is being banged; yet, he couldn’t get the kid off of him. Wow!

Jill88

@ Lisa I think the amazing thing about that is his head is, according to him, being beat so severely but yet he is able to look up and see someone directly and says to them help me. They say they are going for help and he says to them…no I need help. That doesn’t sound like someone whose head is getting beat in. He seemed to have been able to to calmly articulate he needs help.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000719183647 Lisa Anderson Simon

He sounds like he was on top. His reenactment tape also seems to portray the scene from the aggressor’s point of view. I find that amazing. Who does that besides the aggressor?
Shareese Dixon

Right, George is so full of crap. His story does not make any sense at all, not that night, the next or now! The police knew that story did not make sense and if George was banged so hard on cement there is no doubt in my mind that a picture of pooled blood laying on the cement would have been one of the photos taken by the authorities. That Osterman helped George concoct this story that clearly makes no sense. George was shown a photo of Trayvon’s hands that tragic evening and is informed that there is ONLY A SMALL CUT ON TRAYVON’S HANDS – there is no blood on them. If you are bleeding so bad that there is blood on 45% of his head as Trayvon banged it and then tried to smother him, there would have been George’s blood on Trayvon’s hands.

If you straddle someone to the point where they can not get up then it will be next to impossible for George to reach his waist to pull his pistol. The legs of the straddler would along the sides of you and the butt of the straddler would be on your belly. So how is this possible.

It just confuses me as to why so many want to protect this low-life loser with all he deceptions? The police, EMT, witnesses, his family, Osterman, you name it for some reason they want to ensure that the killing of an unarmed teen minding his business, is justified!

Jill88

Ruby Mouzon exactly! I swear that I read in the autopsy report that both of Martin’s lungs collapsed. That means circulation stopped. BLood is pumped from one side of your heart, into your lungs, back into the left side of your heart to be pumped throughout the body. His lungs collapsed meaning his heart stopped, no oxygen was going to any vital organs. This kid was dead when that bullet entered his chest. The other problem is he claims to have shot the kid when he as on top of him. The autopsy report says the kid was shot at “intermediate range”. What GZ describes would not satisfy this finding.

kris

The forensics from Trayvon’s clothing, fills that gap. The conclusion is that George’s gun was pressed against the hoodie with the sweatshirt touching or directly behind it. the gap created by the clothing begin against the gun(save if someone was holding them and pulling it towards them) explains why the ME said intermediate range.

TruthSeeker

Yes. This is the thing that struck me too. At one point he gives the excuse that he wasn’t sure if he hit him… It sounded as if he realized in the telling of the story, just how callous his actions were, and told the lie that he didn’t know if he hit him when he fired.

After reading the Autopsy docs, I thought it was unlikely Tray survived a shot to the heart. I thought he must have died almost instantly from a sudden loss of blood pressure, and collapsed lungs. However, one witness said something about a leg moving..detectives didn’t clarify with her whose leg was moving, and now I think possibly Trayvon was dying, and possibly had involuntary body movements.

If i had shot someone who I said was attacking me, my instinct would not be to jump on top of them…but to get as far away as possible.

if I shot someone who was attacking me, I am 90% positive my reaction would be hysterical crying and shouting, “OMG, help him, help him.” The remaining 10% is just cuz I’m not sure if my hysteria would prevent me from starting CPR or not. BUT, I guess that’s just me. I am 100% positive, I wouldn’t try and restrain him.

A coward and a liar could. He was afraid of him in the safety of his truck but a killing machine behind the building where he knew there were no surveillance cameras and in the dark.

now, he wasn’t following him, he was just, “going in the same direction he was, at the same time.” SMH!

George gets on top of him and makes certain that he dies so that he can not contest his word. What George doesn’t know and I heard from someone I can’t swear is a reliable source, is that someone did tape the altercation and it is not in his favor. I wish I didn’t have to wait for the trial to see that tape!

I believe this to be true as well. The picture the guy with the flashlight took, the same one that called George’s wife, has hit the internet. Trayvon’s arms were not spread out to the sides???
