Yeah, the police forces investigation has been a travesty in my view. One of the good things that can come from this is maybe officers across the country will start treating cases like this with the thought in the back of their mind, "what if this case becomes public like the Martin case". Make sure all their work if subject to a million eyes would stand up against scrutiny and be thorough.

I'm a little pessimistic about that, too. However, a decent autopsy and forensics from the gun and the clothes and such and testimony from the techs that treated Z at the scene might shed enough light to tilt the balance one way or another.

I wonder if they went all CSI and were able to figure out the bullet trajectory when it stuck TM.

If the bullet came from an upward angle that would suggest GZ being on his back and shooting upwards but if it came from the opposite direction then that spells bye bye to Barney Fife.

Or I just go further into the story when this part came out:

"The experts, both of whom said they have testified in cases involving audio analysis, stressed they cannot say who was screaming."

But sure, lets throw that out there for consideration when you have an eye witness who says it was Zimmerman yelling for help.



Seriously? You take the statement that they can't tell who it was to mean they also can't tell if it was Zimmerman? Maybe you should learn to read because the one person they are over 90% sure it is not is Zimmerman. Saying they can't tell who it was doesn't negate that.

Learn to read ffs.

I said that quite awhile back...That is the only piece of evidence I can think of that would soften my stance on Zimmerman,I personally think he would still be guilty of manslaughter but it would convince me that Martin took part in the profound stupid that cost him his life.

If their stupidity didn't shelter them from the full shame of their actions,their would be alot more republican suicides.

I'm not sure the bullet angle would matter all that much. He could have easily thrown Martin off or shot him from the side or something like that too.


And even if it was from below, all that shows is they were in a fight. Not that Martin started it.


What really matters is the testimony they don't have, who started the fight.
