Just for the record, Zimmerman was grilled 5 hours for the shooting. I think I read he was cuffed before he got into the police car. I might have that detail wrong; there’s so much stuff out there that is not true.

You do have the details wrong as several eyewitnesses claim that Zimmerman and the police onscene were laughing and smoking together in the aftermath of the shooting. At no time is there any evidence that Zimmerman was treated as a suspect in this shooting.

For example there is no evidence that Zimmerman was asked to submit to an alcohol or drug test to see if he was under the influence of a substance that could have clouded his judgement. Nor have I heard that his weapon was taken into custody pending further investigation.

All in all it seems that Zimmerman gave a wink and a nod and the police just accepted his version of events without any question.
