In reply to the discussion: If Zimmerman was hurt so badly, why didn't he accept help when it was offered? [View all]TorchTheWitch
(11,065 posts)And Zimmerman lied that he was on top of Martin and subduing him when the guy with the flashlight showed up who was the first person on the scene. That guy's testimony was that he didn't encounter Zimmerman until he started walking down the long arm of the "T" and Zimmerman was walking up to him out of the dark. He noticed that Zimmerman had blood coming from his nose and dripping down his face with his cellphone up next to his ear. The man asked him if he wanted him to call 911, and Zimmerman said he already did (though IIRC he didn't). Zimmerman lied about the entire exchange between himself and that man with the flashlight which is corroborated by several other witnesses including the first officer on the scene as he testified when he got to the scene he witnessed Zimmerman and the man with the flashlight talking some distance from the body.
In his re-enactment video Zimmerman lied about that entire scenario between him and the man with the flashlight in where he was, what he was doing, what was said and who said what. Right after the shooting at least two witnesses testified that they saw him pacing up and down before the guy with the flashlight showed up. Actually, I believe it was three... the man with the flashlight's wife, who said that she saw him pace one way, turn and pace the other, and turn back again to pace and then was noticed by her husband with the flashlight, a blonde woman whose name I can't remember said his hand went up to his forehead and the spanish speaking woman that said his hand was up at the crown of his head. I can't remember which of these two women said they only saw him pacing in one direction or not before the guy with the flashlight showed up... in other words they started witnessing what was going on a bit later than the wife of the guy with the flashlight.
