1. Matches what Zimmerman has testified

He previously said pushed T off after the shot and got on top of him and pushed his hands back. She corroborates what Z has said.

How can someone join DU many years ago,
accumulate a handful of posts,
and then return to post prodigiously on specific, controversial topics collecting many hundreds of posts in just a few days?

There have been a lot of those in the NSA/Snowden threads.
They all seem to support the Government & the NSA on those threads.
I've been checking profiles a lot lately.

13. Maybe they were all in the same train wreck together and came out of their coma at the same time

Z says his head is being banged on the sidewalk, yet Trayvon is able to try for his gun while using one hand to bang his head, Z gets the gun and shoots Trayvon, then pushes him off and straddles him? It was milliseconds between the shot and when witness saw him straddling.

Trayvon was found face down with his hands under his body, so either GZ is lying or he turned Trayvon after he was shot.

14. Zimmerman has no credibility so why would anyone take him at his word?

Anything he says is self serving and should not be taken at face value.

15. Yes, he previously stated that he did that because he thought Trayvon was still a threat

However, the screaming for help stopped directly after the shot. If those were Zimmermanns screams on the tape as he has claimed, and if Zimmermann still believed Trayvon was still a threat, why did Zimmermann stop screaming for help?

Trayvons arms were not found splayed out as Zimmermann described doing, Treyvons arms were underneath Trayvon and Trayvon was face down in the grass. Did Zimmermann put them there?

i keep wondering what happened in the few moments when Trayvon started yelling for help. i can see the above being the case and zimmerman gets off him and pulls his gun out and that's when trayvon starts yelling .

the piece of shit was on top of him, maybe even with his gun pointed and the yelling suddenly stops with the gun shot
