re: #48 Buck

It would be important to have all of the evidence in hand and studied before making these definitive statements. There are police reports, interviews of the witnesses that were actually onsite, and of course the statement by Zimmerman to the police.

This is not evidence. The authorities have the evidence and are studying it. I just hope everyone accept their findings as quickly as they do the rumours and manipulated press reports.

Historically eye witness testimony is notoriously unreliable.

Bad eyewitness identifications contributed to 75 percent of wrongful convictions in cases that were overturned by DNA evidence, according to the Innocence Project.

Calling eye witness memory and the statement of the shooter evidence while discounting audio recordings of the scene as “not evidence” displays a huge cognitive bias towards subjective recollection. Just an FYI. Also the eye witness recollections in this case vary greatly, but one witnesses’s assertion that her story was challenged by the police, who corrected her and fed her the shooter’s version of events should give you some reserve as to the impartiality and professionalism of the police in this case.
