ZIMMERMAN TRIAL: Day 6, Monday, July 1, 2013

[displacedtexan]

208. My question of the day concerns Zimmerman claiming he rolled down his car windows

while he was talking to the dispatcher.

a. I didn't hear the sound of windows being rolled down during that taped call, did you?

b. Zimmerman now says Travon Martin circled his car while he was talking to the dispatcher. Does anyone remember anything about that during the taped call to non-emergency services?

Here's the link to the recap: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-57591807-504083/george-zimmerman-trial-audio-of-neighborhood-watch-volunteers-police-interview-played-in-court/

Singleton asked Zimmerman what made Martin suspicious.

"I'd never seen him in the neighborhood...it was raining and he was walking leisurely, taking him time, looking at all the houses," Zimmerman said.

He said he pulled over his car to call the police non-emergency line. He said he lost sight of the teen, but that Martin soon returned and circled his car.

"As soon as I saw him, I rolled down my windows and stayed on the phone," Zimmerman said on the recording.

"He walked completely around the car?" Singleton asked.

"Yes, ma'am," Zimmermn replied.

On the audio, Zimmerman went on to say that the dispatcher asked him about the direction in which Martin had gone. He said he was looking for a street address to give the dispatcher and was walking back to the car when Martin confronted him, possibly having jumped out after hiding.

Looking up a street address, my ass. 3 streets in the complex, and Zimmerman has lived on one of them for years; plus, he appointed himself Neighborhood Watch captain and has regularly reported "suspicious" people? I'm not buying it.
