In reply to the discussion: BREAKING per Huffington......Justice Department To Review Zimmerman Case [View all]John2
(2,730 posts)produced two articles that has information that wasn't presented in the Trial by either side. The person that Zimmerman stayed with was a former Seminole County police officer and he also attended the investigation with Serino? He also claimed something conflicting from all the statements presented in the Trial by Zimmerman. He claimed Zimmerman told him he made eye contact with two witnesses while apparently getting beat.
The infomation from his ex was very interesting also about Zimmerman getting angry very easily and being protective and territorial. That is two people should have been witnesses for the prosecution. I also think it is interesting about him buying all these guns.
Let me also point out something about detective Serino. He seemed like he was coaching or tipping Zimmerman off about the weaknesses in his testimony. It also seems like this guy has friends within the police department or working with it. The Black community has made numerous complaints concerning the Sanford police Department about protecting friends of police within that community against complaints.
I did not know Zimmerman had a forrnal Seminole county police officer as a friend. This has every indication of a potential cover up by police. Serino claimed Zimmerman profiled Martin because of his clothing and attributed it to certain gangs in the area. One of the witnesses that testified for the defense, didn't say anything about clothing, she specifically claims it was because of race. She claimed two young Black males.
Trayvon should have been able to go to the store and back without being accosted by Zimmerman. Some people have justified that by saying Zimmerman had a right to stalked Trayvon and used the excuse of being captain of neighborhood watch. This is all about race. His actions in this case was racially motivated. If Serino wants to make the case about attire, then he should be more specific about what gangs he was referring too and the type of hoodies. He needs to tell what gang in that area wears that type of hoodie as a symbol and why would Zimmerman have such knowledge of it? It is a very good sign he was covering up and shoring up the weaknesses in Zimmerman's testimony if he can't provide such evidence.
