In reply to the discussion: Zimmerman Medical Report Shows Broken Nose, Lacerations After Trayvon Martin Shooting [View all]belcffub
(595 posts)135. zimmerman martin or any private citizen do not have the same requirement as our criminal just system
innocent until proven guilty is only in a court of law...
I am pretty sure that zimmerman profiled martin... had a history of it...
you said:
"Now prove that zimmerman threatened him with a gun instead of pulling the gun out after he was attacked and on the ground."
Oddly enough, I do not have to, Mr. Zimmerman is the one who needs to prove why he felt his lif is in danger, especially as he is the one that initated the pursuit. SYG mans just that, you stand the ground where youa re, not get out of your car, against the orders of the police dispatch, and stalk someone (which the phone records indictate he did, martin complained on his cell phone that he was being followed, and used the terms "I am not going to run, but walk fast."
the prosecution will need to prove this... if they can't he will walk... Zimmerman has injuries consistent with what he was saying from the beginning...
and your making up your own interruption of SYG... dispatch said they do not need him to follow. They never ordered him to do anything. he got out of his car (a totally stupid thing) and confronted martin... no one knows what was said.. could have asked him for skittles for all we know... then a fight started... again we have no idea who started it... your guess is as good as mine...
.". which I'm not saying is what happened... "
But you sure want to plant that seed knowing that white people are trained to fear Black Males.
no I'm giving you reasonable doubt... which is what's required for zimmerman to get off...

I know lawyers who made careers in this County based on their ability to lie.

Armchair CSI? Why don't you just go down and take over the prosecution since you're such an expert?

I hit my nose on my granddaughters head when I tripped and it was also swelling immediately.

This was a potential homicide and the cops let him decline immediate medical examination?

Actually he had knuckle injuries, classically indicative that he has hit someone.

Let's be honest here. Who hasn't asked their family doctor to help them out a few times?

He is innocent of what exactly? The problem is the boy was unarmed and killed.
