Some odds and ends...
Quote:
The lead homicide investigator in the shooting of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin recommended that neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman be charged with manslaughter the night of the shooting, multiple sources told ABC News.
But Sanford, Fla., Investigator Chris Serino was instructed to not press charges against Zimmerman because the state attorney's office headed by Norman Wolfinger determined there wasn't enough evidence to lead to a conviction, the sources told ABC News.
Zimmerman's original story, as presented by the media
Zimmerman said he had stepped out of his truck to check the name of the street he was on when Trayvon attacked him from behind as he walked back to his truck, police said. He said he feared for his life and fired the semiautomatic handgun he was licensed to carry because he feared for his life.

Later, I believe through his lawyer, he said he followed Martin for a while, then started back and Martin attacked him.
If he did give both stories, then, he is a liar and we can't believe anything he says. Same as with that maid in NYC.
He also says, on an application to take some courses, that his father is a retired judge. As near as I can tell, his father was career military.
ABC is saying that Martin also called 911. No one else has said this, so, not sure if it is rumor or fact or what.
Here's a link to a blog with some photos of the area. I don't necessarily agree with the commentary.

I think story is that he got shot while trying to take gun away from Zimmerman - so it would not be easily seen if they are rolling around on the ground

ummmm from what we have seen nobody has claimed to see the shooting at all. It's not a case of "I couldn't tell." Ash is right. People are saying they saw the struggle but nobody seems to have seen the shooting.

Last year Martin was suspended for spraying graffiti on school grounds. The Miami Herald reported that the school guard who stopped him searched his backpack and found 12 items of women's jewelry and a flathead screw driver that the guard believed to be a "burglary implement."
Zimmerman saved the complex from a Burglar! He should get a raise. The kid was a Gansta.

Maybe. There's no indication that there was anyone watching the altercation when the gun went off. Seems pretty clear we're missing some information here.

This was the same state attorney's office that somehow managed to bungle Dumblewhore's prosecution. She got away with burglary solely because of their incompetence.

Your bias is showing! I no longer accept you on this jury.
