In reply to the discussion: Trayvon Martin ran from George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman ran him down. [View all]Youngat50
(17 posts)The "source familiar with the investigation" him/herself stated that Zimmerman's story to the police hasn't changed at all. The source is claiming that while Zimmerman gave this (circling the car) detail to police in his statement, he simply didn't describe that occurring when he was on the phone with police. If true, I don't consider that an inconsistency. It means that Zimmerman didn't give a police statement while on the phone with 911. He gave it after the incident to police - which is when such details are typically given. A police statement is obtained in a "sit down and tell us what happened" environment...not a "tell us what is happening right now while we are in emergency mode and talking via 911" mode.
The source also is stating that Zimmerman told police that Martin had his hand over Zimmerman's mouth, and this indicates a discrepancy in Zimmerman's story that he yelled for help, which is BS. Unless Zimmerman claimed that Martin had his hand over his mouth the entire struggle, this is a moot point.
These are classic examples of how easily non-facts get turned into facts by the media.
What do you mean she couldn't have known what police knew. She knew what had already been reported just like everyone else. Every thing in her story could have been fabricated to match what Martin's family and supporters want the story to be. And her story does indeed incriminate Zimmerman. She says she heard Trayvon yell, not Zimmerman. She goes on an on about how scared Martin was of Zimmerman and that Zimmerman was chasing him, and she told him to run. And she specifically said: "...and somebody pushed Trayvon because the headset just fell."
Yes, this young lady's story fits just perfect with what she, Martin's family, and his supporters want the scenario to look like. If a 17 year old doesn't know that they have extremely pertinent information related to a crime because they spoke with the deceased minutes before the killing, then I have to wonder about the intelligence of such a person.
