Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThe prosecution has mentioned that Zimmerman's story has changed several times
which is why I think they feel they have such a strong case. If you can be shown to be a liar who's story keeps changing, this leaves a powerful impression on the jury.

(31,849 posts)That 1/4 inch abrasion on Martin's left ring finger ... Wouldn't it have zimmerman's DNA in it?
That would kind of kill the defense's narrative that this abrasion proves that Martin attacked zimmerman ... wouldn't it?

(14,849 posts)Even if he got that scrape hitting Zimmerman, it could have been from something like a zipper or a button on Zimmerman's clothing, which probably wouldn't have any DNA to transfer.

(12,209 posts)That was 45 minutes at most from the time of the shooting. I wouldn't be surprised if the cops took the ABC news photo of scalp and facial wounds DAYS after the shooting ...A CYA move by the police department.

When later they were surprised by the public outcry it was too late to really backtrack and fix things.
If the narrative really gets cracked wide open it's going to be interesting to see just what does come out regarding all this.

You got it right.
