In reply to the discussion: Trayvon Martin ran from George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman ran him down. [View all]Quixote1818
(31,155 posts)After all he never told the 911 dispatcher that Martin was circling his car but said so to Police. He also told the dispatcher he thought Martin was "late teens" and then in court told Martin's parents he thought Martin was his age. Zimmerman has a history of being a bully and even getting into a fight with police. Zimmerman is all over the place and yet you question the girlfriend as being honest and not Zimmerman? Interesting.
On the other hand, the girlfriends statement lined up with everything that came out about the night. Keep in mind she wouldn't have known what the police knew and she also clearly was on the line the whole time Zimmerman observed Martin up until one minute before Martin was ki lled. Cell records prove this. So when she gave her account and it lines up with everything that happened, how could they think she was lying? Especially since she doesn't say anything major that would completely incriminate Zimmerman. Her story sounds completely credible to me. Zimmerman clearly followed Martin quite some distance on foot, there is no doubt about that and Martin was talking on the phone the whole time.
The police never contacted her and she probably just assumed as a 17 year old might that she should wait until they did. They eventually did and she gave her statement.
