    The smoking gun in this case is in the documents page 145. if you look at the mock up of the crime scene you will find that the most compelling evidence against George is in that page.just look at the position of martins body and the shell casing number 6 is martins body wile number 8 is gorges shell casing.they even give you where martins head and feet are. now if you look at this mock up and lay on the floor as if you where George, think about where your right hand is now look where the shell casing is. doesn’t mach up. if he shot with his right hand why is his shell on his left side. There’s  only one way this could have happen,

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

      You write, “…There’s onlly one way this could happen.” What do you mean? I’m thinking it means George was on top when it happened or someone else shot TM. I looked at the documents and one of the forensics has the gun powder on the back of GZ’s sleeve. He didn’t use a rifle so I don’t see how that could be.

  • Davetheg28

    Wow another thing is if trayvon went for his gun why would he spread his arms apart after he shot him and said he did so because he thought he had something in his hands just dosent make sence to me.

    • spectr

      The biggest mystery of this case is:

      What happened to and where is Trayvon’s pacifier ?

  • becky

    just because the witness says they saw trayvon on top does not mean that trayvon was the one who started the fight. trayvon may very well have been defending himself from a guy that attacked him and it just so happens that trayvon was getting the better of the attacker. i believe thats where GZ gets his self defense claim. GZ started a fight, but was losing, and felt trayvon was going to really hurt him so he decided to kill trayvon. i think that to GZ its self defense, but what it is , is murder because he started the fight to begin with, when he should have just walked away or stayed in his car.

    First of all everyone is saying it is so dark out there.  How did trayvon see a gun in the dark.  I seriously think the conversation george is claiming him and trayvon had while fighting is crazy.  I mean none of witnesses stories match except for the fact the they saw zimmerman straddling the boy.  2 says they saw white T shirts.  I honestly believe zimmerman is guilty of the charge really everything he saw was suspect.  Turns everyone that he called the police on happens to be black except for the kids out playing and the garage door open.  My thing is I don’t care if someone is high as a kite, walking around and looking crazy is not a crime.  Teenagers usually do not act out when they are alone.  They do more of their acting out in a crownd.  I personally do not see Martin victimizing gz.  End of story!

    Something else that doesnt seem right is George said treyvon was on top of him beating him and he was on the bottom. He thinks treyvon is going for his gun (so treyvon saw a gun) so he grabs his gun and shoots him once in the chest. He then gets up and spreads out treyvons arms holding them down. This is what George said happened in police taped interviews.
    Treyvon was found dead (god bless his soul) face down with his arms streched out. If he was face down and george was under him wouldnt of he landed on top of george. George didnt have any blood or anything on the front of him. His face was cleaned at the scene but pictures taken right after he is wearing same clothes but nothing on the front of him.
    So lets say treyvon was shot and he didnt fall forward right away and george got out from under him. If someone was on you and you shot them and they sat there stunned wouldnt you lean up and push them off you which means treyvon would be on his back or even side to back, not face down.

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

      George said he spread his hands out above his head but the police found him with his hands underneath himself. I guess since George is such a retard and supposedly gets a nose-breaking punch to the face but instead of stumbling backwards, especially since it was such a surprise that Trayvon pulled a telekinetic move by being one spot and then the other in a split second, I guess Trayvon supposedly defied physics also and in rigamortis (sp?), his arms drew back underneath him. This is pissing me off again. George’s whole story from the 911 tape on sounds like a rape fantasy to me.

    • Guest

      I thought I saw the photo of Trayvon’s body recently taken by a neighbor with their cell phone and it showed Trayvon face down with his hands under him.

  • mandywhitby

    I listened to all of the witness interviews and the thing that gets me is a lot of witness’s say it was a black guy standing and a lighter skin on the bottom but also a lot of witness say that after the shot the guy was on the ground and the black guy was standing up. Witness 3 says guy that was shot looked light skinned.
    The only witness who was actually outside was the 13 year old and he says he saw a guy with red shirt lying on the ground. He said he thought the guy had a heart attach or fell on the wet grass. If treyvon was beating geirge why wouldnt the kid see a guy on top beating him. He obviously saw george as he did have a red coat on so his description is right.
    My opinion of listening to all witness’s is that there was a fight and yelling and minutes later a gunshot. Treyvon was shot in one area but the fighting was in another. A couple witness’s also say they heard running and yelling.
    Could there have been a altercation (fight) and then treyvon is running away and george catches up and shoots. One witness says he hears running aswell as someone yelling help.
    In georges police interview he said he was holding a flashlight that wasnt working (yet police tried it and it was working when they tried it) George caught up to treyvon and treyvon asks why are you following me and sees something in georges hand. George then says that he didnt answer treyvon but went looking in his pockets for his cell phone to call 911 this time instead of the non emergency line he called before. WHY? He can see its a teenager and the kid is asking him whats up. Most criminals or burglars would not take the time to talk to someone. So why didnt george say anything? His story really doesnt add up. 

    • Cj2020

      WOW…..Mandy you and read the same report and got 2 different messages….funny how that happens….I read Austens (13 year old) statement and he said the man on bottom was wearing a red shirt…on bottom would imply someone or something was on top…..and where did you see the fighting was in one area and the shooting in another…..George is guilty by every stretch of the imagination so I don’t understand why the facts are continually twisted….it is not necessary.  George’s story adds up just fine that does not mean he was justified to murder someone…

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

        in the 911 call, Austen said he saw someone on the ground yelling for help and that he thought the old man (that at least 2 people seem to be terribly concerned about) had hurt himself by falling but his dog got away from him and he followed the dog. He didn’t say he saw anyone on top on the call. After the neighbors talk and piece together what they heard, saw or later knew is what came out in the interviews nearly a month later.

      • mandywhitby

        Yes you are right how we see things different so i went over and re-read and listended to the interviews and unfortuantely you are twisting facts. cj2020 i guess we are reading different things.The 13 year old never said someone was on the bottom, he said he saw a man lying in the grass. So i dont know where you get the kid saying the man on bottom as i just listened to it and he never says that so who is twisting the facts?? He said he thought the man had fell or was hurt as it was wet and the man was yelling for help. The witness 15, never says he saw more than one person. Go re-read and listen to his statement. As for the fighting in one area and the shot in another. If you re-read my comment i said COULD IT BE, I never said witness’s said it was or anything i am merely giving my opinion as to whether there could of been a fight and the shooting in a separate place AS if you listen to ALL the witness statements a couple of them hear running, fighting and yelling, One hears the talking, yelling going along the back of her house which shows it is not in one area but moving which is what i said. Another witness said she heard yelling and yelling agin 10 minutes later.
        So i guess your right we all hear and read what we want to and maybe i am wrong but i just re-read everything and i stand by my comment above. I am not twisting the facts but commenting on what i read and when i state a opinion i write, COULD IT BE or In my opinion as i have for other comments i have written here.

      GZ supposedly got a nose-breaking punch to the nose at the top of the T and stumbled forward. I know my reaction would be to stumble backwards and if I’m still on my feet, move away.  The “fight” continues some feet down the sidewalk. You bring up the thing that hid from my conscious mind when you stated that “Most criminals or burglars would not take the time to talk to someone. So why didnt george say anything?” That is so true. I was also thinking what did George think he was going to burglarize (if that was his goal) once he knew someone was watching him and chasing him?  I truly can’t understand why so many people support and believe GZ.
