re: #10 Charles Johnson

The big points from this new witness: 1) The confrontation happened on the grass, not the concrete, directly contradicting Zimmerman’s account, and 2) Zimmerman was on top of Trayvon when the shot was fired, not the reverse, also directly contradicting Zimmerman and his lawyer.

This case is really reeking now.

Strictly a hypothesis here, but dig this:

Zimmerman gets out of his vehicle to “check the street signs” (in other words, to chase down and confront Martin), gets into some sort of scuffle with Martin, and winds up on top of Martin, with Martin face down, in an attempt to restrain him. Zimmerman, for whatever reason, had his gun out while on top of Martin in an attempt to command compliance and, because of nerves or getting bumped or whatever, ends up shooting Martin point-blank in the back.

That would go a long way to explain a lot of things: why the ME’s report hasn’t been released, why the state attorney themselves met straight away that night with Chief Lee and the lead homicide detective and determined that no charges would be filed (at the time), and a bunch of other hinkey shit that’s gone on since.

Anyone else got anything better? The more I look at this and what’s been trickling out, the more the whole thing stinks to high heaven.
