George Zimmerman "testified" in his Second Degree Murder trial today. He won't have to again.

[TorchTheWitch]

116. well, let's start with Z's re-enactment

So, nothing much interesting happens until around 6 minutes in where Z says that he couldn't remember the name of the street. This ties in with what he said later about his supposedly getting out of the car to try to get an address rather than getting out of the car to chase Martin which we all can tell from his 911 call (or non-emergency line he called) was the real reason he got out of the car. Right there is where he starts trying to cover up what he was really doing. Now, this guy has lived here for 3 years and there are only 3 streets in the complex. He's also the neighborhood watch dude who has been spending a lot of time cruising around the complex looking for stuff to report to the police. The very idea that he doesn't know the name of the street or can describe where he is and how police can find him is ludicrous.

Next thing is that he tells the operator (911 or non-emergency line) that police can meet him at his car, but he omits that he told the operator later in the call to have police call him when they get there and he'll tell them where he's at. It's pretty clear that the reason he did that was because he was going to continue looking for Martin and would not be waiting for police at his car.

Next thing is that he starts explaining that he gets to the top of the "T" and Martin materializes from nowhere right next to him and asks him if he's got a problem, he says no, and he says that Martin replied "You've got a problem now" and punched him in the face. This is all contrary to Rachel's testimony of what was said and how to two encountered each other. Martin was also still holding his phone and had his headset on and we know this because a) he was talking to Rachel, and b) both his phone and headset were found in the grass not far from where his body lay. Who picks a fist fight with someone while talking on their phone to someone while holding their phone and with their headset still on?

Further, Z is explaining where this took place on the grass a good many feet away from the sidewalk. He says he either fell down or was pushed down, starts saying that Martin then got on top of him then realizes he's not anywhere near the sidewalk where he claims to have Martin climb on top of him and supposedly was pounding his head into the sidewalk and walks a good many feet to another spot where he says it was in that spot where Martin got on top of him and did this supposed head pounding. But Martin's body was much farther down the walkway of the long arm of the "T" and quite a distance from that walkway. How on earth could Martin's body ended up there when we know he was shot directly in the heart, that Z claims he didn't get up and travel any distance on his own and that he just rolled Martin's body off of him. How could Martin's body ended up that far from the sidewalk when even Z claims that all he did was roll Martin off of him? That alone makes it obvious that they were not close enough to the sidewalk for this supposed head pounding on it and never mind the obvious lack of injuries from having one's head repeated slammed into concrete.

Now the lies start coming fast and furious... he claims that Martin has him by the head with both hands pounding his head into the concrete and Z claims this is when he starts to scream and Martin lets go of his head and covers his bloody mouth and nose with both hands yet we know from the 911 call from one of the witnesses that the screaming does not stop once it started until the gunshot. How does Z continue to scream with his mouth and nose covered? And let's remember that there was not only not a speck of Z's blood on any portion of Martin's hands but not even a single cell of his DNA when he supposedly covered Z's bloody mouth and nose with both hands. There is also not a speck of Z's blood on Martin's shirt where having his arms and hands beneath his body may have wiped off some of that blood nor was it raining so hard or the grass so wet that it could possibly have removed every speck of Z's blood and DNA from Martin's hands. He is also unable to explain this when going through that 911 call with the police. He has no explanation for how he was able to continuously scream with both his mouth and nose covered.

All this time Z's arms and hands are free. He has no explanation for what he was doing with them while all this was going on. Why does he not try to hit Martin or try to get his hands off his head to stop the pounding or try to pry his hands off his mouth and nose or go for his gun with one of them? We're supposed to believe that while Martin is doing all this to him that he didn't do anything at all with his arms and hands to defend himself??? Ridiculous. We're supposed to believe that he did nothing at all with his arms and hands to try to stop this attack until at the last moment he suddenly remembers he has a gun on him. Baloney.

Then Z says he starts screaming for help but has no explanation how he could do that with Martin covering his mouth and nose with both hands. If Martin let go of his mouth and nose he never says that nor does he say what Martin started doing with them. Either we're supposed to believe that Z started screaming for help with his mouth and nose covered by both of Martin's hands or that Martin removed his hands from his mouth and nose and did nothing else with them... didn't hit him, didn't start pounding his head again, didn't try to strangle him, nothing. And we know from the photos that there was no smeared blood around Z's mouth and nose from having his bloody mouth and nose covered nor any other smeared blood anywhere on him.

Now he says that his jacket started riding up of its own accord. First of all, Z's jacket was unzipped. Had he been lying on his back the two sides of the jacket would have fallen back to the ground exposing the holstered gun. And we know that from testimony from his own defense attorney, O'Mara, that all he had to do to expose his gun holstered in his pants was to thrust that hip forward a bit which made that side of his jacket fall away toward his rear because that's exactly how O'Mara demonstrated how Z showed the officer where his gun was so the officer could take it from him.

Then he said he could feel Martin's hand moving down his side toward the gun, and this is when Z becomes speedy Gonzales and is able to whip his own hand down there and grab it himself all the while screaming himself while Martin is doing nothing at all with his other arm and hand. Rubbish. The whole time Martin was straddling him doing all this pounding and smothering he would have felt that gun with his thigh that was right on top of it. How did Z get to his own gun in his pants and so quickly either with Martin's leg right on top of it or up higher on Z's chest so that Z's hand couldn't have gotten past Martin's leg to get to it himself. Or are we supposed to believe that Martin straddled him so car down near Z's knees while all this was going on that no portion of his legs or knees could have been in the way? Are we supposed to believe that Martin didn't have any legs??? Or that he had such a "wide stance" straddle that either one of them could have quickly gotten to the gun with their hand??? Didn't happen. And it didn't happen because Z long since already had his gun out in his hand. His first explanation to police was that Martin was fighting with him to get his gun out of his hand.

Now comes some more Hollywood silly movie lines... Z claims that with the jacket riding up all on its own instead of having been flapped back against the ground from being unzipped that Martin sees the gun after already letting his hand travel down Z's side for no reason while the other arm and hand did nothing at all and with no leg in the way of it, reaches for it and says "You're going to die tonight, motherfucker.". He says he grabs his gun out and shoots Martin at point black range right into his heart and Martin delivers the classic movie line "You got me". Never mind the fact that Martin was probably already dead or nearly so. In Z's first sit down interview with Serino Z tells him that Martin continued to talk after delivering this Hollywood movie line even when Z flipped him over and got on top of him. Didn't happen. Martin was already dead.

Then here's a whopper... Z then says that Martin either fell off of him or he pushed him off of him, and gets on top of him and spreads his arms out straight. Huh? How could that possibly be when we know Martin was discovered face down with both arms and hands tucked under his body? He was dead. He couldn't have moved his arms and hands under his own body himself, and every witness who saw him following the shot testified that Martin never moved. Unbelievably, Z also says that at this point when he is on top of Martin holding his arms away from his body that he didn't think he had hit him! How in the world could he NOT have hit him with the bullet at point blank range into his chest??? Totally unbelievable and totally contradicts what we know about how Martin's body was found and that Z can't be so stupid as to believe that he didn't hit him at that range and in that huge chest target. This is the same kind of outrageous claim by shooters as the "the gun just went off" excuse to try to make it appear that they didn't really mean to shoot the person and is even more ridiculous.

Then he says that Martin had been repeatedly punching him in the face. WHAT? Z never said that Martin ever punched him more than the first supposed punch while they were still standing and how he explains they landed on the ground with Martin on top of him. Further, there is zero evidence that Z was repeatedly punched in the face from his photos at the scene and Martin's pristine unbloodied hands. Right hear Z totally changes his story adding in these repeated punches to the face that we know from physical evidence of his face and Martin's hands as well as Z's previous story of what happened on this very video a few moments prior that Martin never punched him in the face even once by the time they were on the ground. Z doesn't explain how he missed this supposed punching with his explanation and it shows where he's confusing his stories because his first explanation to police before the recorded ones with Serino. In that first explanation he claimed Martin punched him in the face 35-40 times. We know that all these punches to his face never occurred because his own face pictured at the scene while he was still bloody does not in the least show repeated punches to his face. I guess he forgot to drop that bit with this story though he remembered not to mention all these supposed punches just a few moments before as he was going through his step by step version of events. That's one fucking HUGE ENORMOUS whopper of an inconsistency.

Now he thinks Martin had something in his hands which is why he moved his arms away from his body. First, he never did move his arms away from his body as Martin died nearly instantly and his arms and hands were tucked beneath his body. Second, how on earth could Z believe he had something in his hands and still be able to grab his head and pound it into the ground as well as cover his nose and mouth? We're supposed to believe that Z actually thought this??? This is where Z's story really starts going completely off the rails.

Now the Asian guy with the flashlight shows up and Z notices him. But we already heard testimony from this man as well as others that testified that the guy with the flashlight did not show up until Z was long since standing up off of Martin's body. Z goes into an imaginary scenario of the entire conversation with Asian flashlight man by first saying that he was still sitting on Martin when that guy testified that he first came into contact with Z when Z approached him and the guy noticed his face had blood on it. Another witness testified that saw Z pacing up and down the walkway several times before the guy showed up which IIRC was his wife.

Then Z goes into this imaginary conversation that happens between him and Asian flashlight man that is not only completely contradictory to that man's testimony but also reverses much of which of them said what in their conversation. First, Z was not on top of Martin when the guy showed up nor was there any conversation about his helping Z hold Martin down. For example, Z says it was himself that asked the guy to call 911 when it was that man's testimony that it was HIMSELF that asked Z if he should call 911 and that Z told him he already did. Asian flashlight man testified that he first encountered Z as Z was walking up to him, he noticed that Z was on his cellphone as he had it to his ear, that he asked Z if he needed to call 911 and that Z told him he already did. Z's saying that all this fictitious conversation with the guy occurred while he was still sitting on Martin and holding him down when we know from that guy and at least one other witness that this is not what happened. We also know from Asian flashlight guy's testimony that what little conversation they had included nothing about helping Z hold Martin down, nor was it Z who asked him to call 911. Z also mentions nothing about asking the guy to call his wife which the guy testified he did and that Z interrupted that call by telling the guy to "just tell her I shot someone." Z totally fabricates the encounter with Asian flashlight guy in both where he was and what he was doing as well as their conversation and which of them said what... all in an effort to try to make himself appear like the good guy by claiming it was himself that wanted the guy to call 911 and omitting the part where he asks the guy to call his wife interrupts the call and tells the guy to "just tell her I shot someone."

Then Z says that the police officer's arrival was when he got up off of Martin's body when that officer testified that he encountered Z and the guy talking together while both were standing some distance from the body. More fabrication from Z.

Z then demonstrates how he just moves his right arm upward exposing his gun and telling the officer that's where his gun was. Z had his jacket unzipped, so it was unzipped while he was on the ground tussling with Martin so there was no riding up of his jacket that took place at that time for Martin to see only at that time that he had a gun. If it was that easy to see that by just that little movement as even O'Mara described in court for Z's gun to be seen than it would have been just as easy for Martin to have seen it when he and Z first encountered each other if Z didn't purposely expose it or draw it at that time. Martin having the gun drawn on him or seeing it at the start of their encounter would have certainly given Martin every reason to believe that this creep who was following him and chasing him through the complex intended on shooting him and therefore, every reason to fight for his life.

Further, in Z's first explanation to police not only does he claim he was repeated punched in the face about 35-40 times he also said that Martin was going for the gun in his hand during their struggle on the ground.

And that's just this re-enactment. Why on earth the defense wanted it in evidence I have no idea as clearly there are so many lies and inconsistencies by Z in his own words in it.
