Do you have a link to your study? I'd like to take a look at it.

One of the times this tale by Zimmerman's father was being shown when the line, "You are going to die tonight!" or "You are going to die now!" came up, the response of one of the people was, "Who talks like that?"

The other reaction from the other people on the set was that who would say that when they do not have the weapon? That certainly would not be the comment I would make if I realized the person I'd been struggling with had a gun!
