He says his head was 'smashed' into concrete 20-30 times, to the point where his head was going to explode. He had two scrapes on the back of his head with no bruising, and no fractures. He said he received 25-30 blows to the face and head. A beating so brutal he refused medical treatment. Take a good look at the cleaned up George 24-36 hours later. No swelling, nor black eyes.

Serino and Singleton catch him seft-pedaling his complicity. When asked on the non-911 tape "are you following?" he replies "Yes." He has tried to walk that back every time since. Serino: Are you following? GZ: No, I just went in the direction he did. Serino: That's following. His claims have varied from 'I was trying to spot him from afar for the cops', to 'I was on my way back to the truck,' to ''I was trying to get an address.' His story is he was doing anything but actually looking for him, because that would be bad legally. A minute forty on the phone, and more time afterward. His claim doesn't fit.

He claimed he didn't know if he even hit him with the bullet, yet holstered his gun, walked away, took out his cell phone, and spoke to his neighbor. He says he didn't know he killed him until hours later while with the police, but every other 911 call has poeple saying/crying within 10-20 seconds of the shooting that someone is dead.

That's off the top of my head.

"How the gun got into Z's hand is moot" HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #222

Yeah, that's laughable to me too....lol uponit7771 Jul 2013 #231

well ill take the experts claims over yours. n/t HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #234

Handgun positioning and physics now what?! uponit7771 Jul 2013 #235

in relation to...? HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #239

relating to being a smart ass,...no really...Root sounds like a hack and now his testimony suonds uponit7771 Jul 2013 #246

so Z was able to move TM's leg away to grab the gun from his side. easily done. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #250

..according to Z it wasn't on his side...see, that's why it's important to show HOW he got his gun uponit7771 Jul 2013 #254

then refresh my memory. where was it in Z's statement? HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #256

Root should be able to tell you.... uponit7771 Jul 2013 #266

then I guess it doesnt matter because he believe how Z got the gun in his hand is moot. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #271

Point being root is a hack, if root was TRULY worried about the TRUTH he would've taken both sides.. uponit7771 Jul 2013 #282

Root is saying that by what he has seen and heard, that is what he believes. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #287

This expert is wrong about the gun. Just Saying Jul 2013 #292

ill believe that when it is proven in court. until then I will take it as your opinion. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #299

How about your opinion Just Saying Jul 2013 #304

in my opinion Z got the gun after TM was beating him and shot him because he was being hit. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #310

Your opinion is based on what Zimmerman told police. Just Saying Jul 2013 #319

so TM was sittin on Z to where Z was not able to move his arms? HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #324

the gun was not holstered on GZ's side frylock Jul 2013 #358

so where was the gun then the whole time this was going on? HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #360

in my opinion? the gun was in GZ's hands.. frylock Jul 2013 #363

so when you tell me that the gun wsa not holstered, that is what you believe but you have HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #364

that is correct.. frylock Jul 2013 #367

yet you take this "expert's" and GZ's word as gospel.. frylock Jul 2013 #356

I take the experts words, not someone on a message board.. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #362

He OVERTLY didn't hear and see all the information from both sides = hack uponit7771 Jul 2013 #294

did you hear him explain why? or are you ignoring that? HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #300

Yes, because he's a hack... uponit7771 Jul 2013 #313

my opinion, absolutely Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #328

does self defense have to be proven or..... justanaverageguy Jul 2013 #336

I don't think the defense has a convincing case Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #341

Oh i didn't mean to say that it was convincing justanaverageguy Jul 2013 #350

The 10th grade kid has MORE fighting abilities than the 200lb, fit, MMA trained grown man! REALLY?! uponit7771 Jul 2013 #230

not in every case, but in some cases... HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #243

...it's kind of weak to continue to proffer POSSIBILITIES when those go without saying no? I mean it uponit7771 Jul 2013 #252

doesn't the evidence of Z's face show that TM was on top of him and hitting him? HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #255

No, especially since GZ had a bloody head and TM had no blood on his hands. NONE of Z's DNA.... uponit7771 Jul 2013 #265

because blood gushes everywhere as soon as someone is hit so TM should be covered, right? HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #268

No, after 25 - 50 hits on his face and head...unless you want to proffer that after all that hitting uponit7771 Jul 2013 #275

That is quite possible ... ThePhilosopher04 Jul 2013 #290

REALLY GOOD Point!! uponit7771 Jul 2013 #291

then I expect the prosecution to show that. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #293

Z probably got his head injuries libodem Jul 2013 #301

haha oh wow. thank you for that!!!! HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #307

Welcome libodem Jul 2013 #323

uuuuuuhh .......... no. polly7 Jul 2013 #278

how did Z get those boo-boos then? HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #283

AGAIN...his own gun, it had GZ's DNA on it....NOT tms hands... uponit7771 Jul 2013 #285

oh yeah, TM did nothing to Z and Z did everything to himself. that's right.. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #289

No, TM scared Z by being a young black man...that scares a lot of Z types and they react negatively uponit7771 Jul 2013 #295

if only you could prove that in court. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #302

I'm being facetious, it doesn't look like Z had any racial animus towards blacks just sounds like he uponit7771 Jul 2013 #312

so he must be a racist, right. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #314

cases you don't know about that I have witnessed personally. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #262

How many MMA trained fighters mzmolly Jul 2013 #315

so Z is now a trained MMA fighter? even though his trainer said he wasn't that great? HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #318

A badly trained MMA fighter beats a person with no training at all....TM wasn't a welter weight ... uponit7771 Jul 2013 #321

how do you know TM hasnt been in a fight to give him some street training? HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #326

..the same way I know Trayvon is Superman! Again, you're proffering possibilities its ...come on uponit7771 Jul 2013 #329

the same way you know Z is guilty and that TM was a saint. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #333

How do you know Zimmerman didn't have an assault charge mzmolly Jul 2013 #346

Why did Zimmerman forget he had mzmolly Jul 2013 #339

he wasn't trained well enough. Like other here have said, should have gotten his money back. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #340

Laughable. mzmolly Jul 2013 #342

good to know you have a sense of humor? HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #343

Good to know you're mzmolly Jul 2013 #348

;) HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #349

One would hope after a year of training... mzmolly Jul 2013 #334

you think that the shitty trainer could get anyone to be a trained MMA fighter in a year? HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #335

I think after a year of training you learn mzmolly Jul 2013 #351

I would think you are right if someone had a competent trainer. I wouldnt say that Z had a competent HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #355

Did he need training to hit a cop and a former fiance - mzmolly Jul 2013 #371
