God Damn It! I just listened to the recording of Trayvon screaming "Help", then the gunshot.

57. For me it was about the body language

When the tape is played for Trayvon's mom, she is visibly disturbed and is fidgiting, trying to hold back tears. You can tell she is overwhelmed with emotion but is doing her damndest to hold it all in. When GZ's mom listens, she has a poker face, then in a emotionless voice dismissively waves her hand as she says it's her son's voice. Her body language does not match her words, imo.

I definitely see GZ's mom having a greater incentive here - if past stories are correct it's a family that is expert at circling the wagons. They are a dysfunctional family, and as such must keep up the illusion of having a great family (having grown up in an extremely dysfunctional family, it's the image that is THE most important thing on earth. It's imperative that the 'image' of a great family gets kept up, at ALL costs). They cannot let GZ pay for his actions, because it would reflect badly on THEM. So they must cover up at ALL costs. Therefore, in their mind, it's TM's fault and GZ should go free. Once they cement it in their brain how they believe the story went, you won't be able to change their minds with any amount of facts (yeah, kind of like freepers). This is why I see it as GZ's family having a bigger incentive - they are fighting for their family image here. And only those who have grown up in such dysfunction can understand how these people will fight for the image as if it's their life at stake.
