17. Occam's Razor

Yeah, it could be 'shopped...but that's not really the most likely explanation. There's no Photoshop-style app for the iPhone with enough sophistication to produce that shot, and reloading a 'shopped pic back onto the phone while still preserving the GPS and timestamp data would require a fairly sophisticated hack. Possible? Probably. The most likely explanation? Nope.

In any case, the photo doesn't exonerate Zimmerman. He's still responsible for the altercation. If he hadn't profiled and stalked Martin, and if he'd listened to the advice of the dispatcher, none of this would have happened. It was Zimmerman's actions that may have made Martin sufficiently afraid for his well-being (a completely justified fear, as it turned out) that he decided he had no choice but to fight.
