(11,447 posts)could very well be psychopathy. An emotionless Zimmerman sits in court each day. He lies easily and with exaggerated details at times. One of the lies that bothered me was when he apologized to Martin's family in the very beginning when he was arraigned and said that he did not know that Martin was just seventeen--but there is a transcript of him telling the dispatcher that the person he was calling in about was probably about ten years younger than himself. Clearly Zimmerman knew he was a teen and he had no issue lying to the Court, the TV audience, and most importantly--the Martin family. No remorse or even a flinch at any point. Clearly his lies/stories are self serving and even he cannot keep the details straight--such as it is with lies.
Zimmerman is aggressive, predatory (this case is a good example), emotionally cold, impulsive, deceitful, manipulative, irresponsible, grandiose, and shows a reckless disregard to others.
I also wonder if he slipped on the wet grass and hit the back of his own head as he hurried to catch up with Trayvon Martin that evening in the rain. I also doubt that Martin was ever on top of Zimmerman as he claims--his light-colored jeans show no marks on the knees that I can see in the photos. If he was pummeling Zimmerman and resisting Zimmerman's weight (Zimmerman would have been trying to get Martin off of him) he would have had to ground his knees into the wet grass and dirt below in order to counter Zimmerman's weight and force. He was, after all, a lightweight. Have I missed something? I have only heard some of the testimony, but cannot recall the lack of stains on Martin's knees being brought up.
