13. So you prefer to make things up in the absence of real data

Until the video we had little that was concrete in the public domain. Lots of conjecture and contradictions. Police were covering for him, but the lead investigator wanted him arrested that night. There were many others.

Critical points included Zimmerman's injuries, but information on them is not being released. The right kind could give credence to a claim of self defense. We finally get some empirical evidence in the form of that video 5-6 hours ago. Self defense seems a real stretch now, and the EMS report would seal it.

Waiting for real data, given the bullshit that was flying is not spinning...its being rational. I have also been skeptical from the get go about the self defense claim and been wondering why he has not been arrested for manslaughter. Now that the video is public and the State Attorney has had it for weeks, why is there no arrest?
