So many discrepancies to Zimmerman's story came out at the trial today. Fortunately, for the prosecution, they are all caught on tape.


Another interesting thing that happened today, CNN inadvertently put George Zimmerman's address and social security number on it's telecast. Now this information is flying around the twitterverse.

Is it true that "Zimmerman chased the kid down with a loaded gun"

Knew he HAD a gun, but your presentation puts an entirely different spin on everything. Please clarify !!!!
Zimmerman admits to following Martin and we know he had a gun. He Claims he quit chasing Martin after the 911 call but that is still in dispute.

I'll wager there was nothing inadvertent about it. The mainstream media again seriously oversteps itself. Hopefully Zimmerman will be able to sue and obtain substantial damages for this as well as the deliberate editing of his 911 transcript prior to its publication as disinformation to mislead the public (again).

Thanks for clarifying.

So the picture you painted with "Zimmerman chased the kid down with a gun"
is NOT true.

How about the fact that Martin was acting in self-defense when he confronted and socked Zimmerman, who was stalking him? Zimmerman had chances to back out of the situation and chose not to. The kid was minding his own business. Too bad Zimmerman didn't.

Interesting, could you please provide a link to this, don't believe I saw this in the discovery.

Maybe not to you, but to the prosecution, yes.

Well I apologize to you. If that quote of yours is true, that changed the thrust of the case for sure.

Zimmerman needs to be punished to the full extent of the law.

You just cannot chase anyone, kid or not, down the streets with a gun.

This is the first time anyone has alluded to that part of the prosecution case.

Thanks so much for the clarification of the facts.

PS. This is sarcasm which is what posts that violate truth, facts and context deserve.

We know he had a gun, big deal, was the gun drawn? Was the gun in view? Was the gun even out of his holster? Or was the gun concealed upon his body as he is legally allowed to do since he has a concealed weapons permit. From what I heard today, Trayvon was hiding behind bushes and jumped George and said, 'Homey, your gonna die tonight", and then jumped Zimmerman with a punch that sent him to the ground'. Maybe you're watching a different trial than the one that is being broadcast on the Orlando channels.

CNN airs Zimmerman's SSN, phone number - POLITICO.com

Not a big deal.

"This is hardly the first time Zimmerman’s personal information has been distributed by those who oppose him. During the initial coverage of the Zimmerman trial, Spike Lee retweeted the home address of what he thought was Zimmerman’s home address. It turned out to be the wrong address. Roseanne Barr then tweeted Zimmerman’s parents’ home address. “If Zimmerman isn't arrested I'll rt his address again. maybe go 2 his house myself,” Barr tweeted."

CNN Broadcasts Zimmerman Social Security Number

Classy folks hey !!

Did you actually watch the testimony of the two investigating officers or are you simply repeating media bs. The prosecution allowed 4 different taped interviews of George Zimmerman to be heard by the jury today and both repeated time and time again George Zimmerman continued to repeat the same story over and over with a few minor changes. The lead detective said you would expect some changes because we are human not robots and nothing alerted me to any inconsistency. When asked at the end of the day if he believed George Zimmerman to be telling the truth he said YES.

Now where are you getting your information from???

Not everyone lives in a wild Wild West state like Florida. I am not sure the prosecution will be able to prove anything in this case other than we can see how bad this law is. All the gun bunnies will be happy

Thanks, just wondering, because stupid pills in the water would explain Zimmerman.

I think it is good that none of us is on on the jury in this case. Most, but not all, seem to have a preconceived idea about guilt or innocence. I think a jury is obligated. to hear ALL OF THE FACTS before making a determination of guilt or innocence.
