Zimmerman's depraved mind [View all]

New evidence in the Zimmerman case...

(bolding mine)

This additional evidence eliminates all doubt that Zimmerman might not have acted with a depraved mind. Zimmerman told the police that he did not know if the shot he fired hit Martin and he subsequently claimed he did not know Martin had died until later that evening at the police station.

Nevertheless, he sat on Martin’s back after the shooting and one witness said he appeared to have his hands on Martin’s neck. Sitting on Martin’s back would have restricted Martin’s airway and when W13 arrived, he specifically told him not to call 911.

When he did that he necessarily knew that a police officer was en route to the neighborhood to investigate a non-emergency situation with no specific address to go to in the neighborhood to conduct that investigation. He also necessarily knew that no ambulance was on the way to render medical assistance.

Yet he not only told the witness not to call 911, he told someone else to call his wife and tell her that he shot someone. He also told several witnesses he had already called 911 when, in fact, he knew that was false. Then he waited for the police.
