Zimmerman ADMITS to following Martin

ISo you don't believe Martin should be allowed to turn, confront and STAND HIS GROUND when he notices someone following him?

If M had done that when Z was following him maybe that would have been appropiate had Z confronted him. But Stand you ground doesn't mean circle around and assault.

No Zap, that just doesn't fit....Z said he got out of his car, to keep tabs on the young M who was moving away from him, at that point the dispatcher told Z not to follow M, so Z then turned to go back to the street where his car was, and THAT is when M circled around and confronted Z asking Z what his problem was, and punching him, and breaking his nose. Now, if the evidence bears this out, then M would have had to have turned to come back at Z in order to confront him....That my friend is standing anything, that is aggressing on M's part.

According to George, but obviously, the prosecutor doesn't agree.

I think that inconsistencies like this, and the one below absolutely will hurt him in court. If he makes it to court. I hope you're not too disappointed if he doesn't.

On a recording of the call, Zimmerman could be heard at one point telling the dispatcher that Martin had taken off. “Shit, he’s running,” Zimmerman said. At almost the same moment, the audio captured him taking off his seat belt, opening the door to his vehicle and getting out to follow the teen.

HANNITY: Why do you think that he was running then?

ZIMMERMAN: Maybe I said running, but he was more —

HANNITY: You said he’s running.

ZIMMERMAN: Yes. He was like skipping, going away quickly. But he wasn’t running out of fear.

HANNITY: You could tell the difference?

ZIMMERMAN: He wasn’t running.

HANNITY: So he wasn’t actually running?

ZIMMERMAN: No, sir.

HANNITY: OK. Because that’s what you said to the dispatcher, that you thought he was running.

GOLDMINE for the prosecution.

Yet another version of the events of the evening.

Each one, contradicting an earlier version.


Can the jury believe anything Zimmerman says?

I think not.

IMO at this point anyone who believes this guy is either a rabid supporter of stand your ground (the kind who is terrified of their own shadows and too afraid to shower without their gun) or a racist.

I also believe that there is a lot of overlap between those two groups.

Yes, according to George...It is a real stretch you have going on there that the prosecution doesn't agree....But yet we have not seen what evidence that they think contradicts this have we? So, all the speculation in the world doesn't make George a liar, or Treyvon in the right....So why are you drawing conclusions based on little more than your own bias on the matter?

This is why I had to stop arguing about this. Everytime some smirking asshat talks about how there's nothing wrong with following someone - he had every right! I feel like I would like to take my high heel and grind it into their face.

What a stupid effing thing to say. Only, only, only, a man could ever say that, I believe nearly almost always (if not ALWAYS, every single time, which is probably the truth) a white man, and a effing big stupid entitled one too.

If I ever get a gun it's going to be so I can shoot some entitled fuckwit who thinks he has a "right" to follow me. Then I am going to claim stand your ground.

LMAO... Sorry, but there is nothing wrong with following someone. It is not against the law. It is not instigating conflict. No matter how emo you want to get.

I absolutely agree, this is why I don't understand his attorney allowing this interview, even with Hannity, who was obviously trying to help George!

That is merely Martin DEFENDING HIMSELF from the person he saw initiating a conflict by following him without provocation.
