re: #197 lawhawk

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. I can’t believe that the video released last night shows that the initial statements by GZ and the Sanford PD about Zimmerman’s condition were contradicted by the video evidence.

It would appear that there was no struggle, and there wasn’t any sign that Zimmerman was injured. If he was injured, he sure cleaned up well prior to going into interrogation (or arrival at the Sanford PD intake).

That directly contradicts everything that Zimmerman was saying, and also supports the Sanford PD investigator who thought that charges should be filed, but overruled by prosecutors. One has to wonder whether prosecutors had the video evidence when they made the decision not to arrest/press charges.

Also, does anyone know whether an autopsy was performed on Martin to discern whether there were defensive wounds or other forensic evidence of a struggle before he was shot. Having the funeral director’s statements helps in this regard, but an autopsy would have involved a more complete examination.

So much about this case reeks. And Zimmerman’s father is complaining about the President’s statement being hateful, even though it had nothing to do with Zimmerman at all - but rather that if the President had a son, he would look like Martin. [deleted]

One report last night stated the funeral director could not get a clear picture of the wound because an autopsy had been performed.
