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

this guy is a self-proclaimed "expert" at his first trial.. frylock Jul 2013 #373

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

so you are picking and choosing who you are willing to believe and who not to believe. HeroInAHalfShell Jul 2013 #316

good case for manslaughter? grantcart Jul 2013 #322

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

OK I see what you mean. Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #353

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

Which mzmolly Jul 2013 #259

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

+1, that are 150ish lbs and in the 10th grade !!! uponit7771 Jul 2013 #320
