I have just learned from a friend in Seminole County law enforcement, who is very close to Zimmermann case, that the case against Mr. Zimmerman is even weaker than originally thought.
It seems that the police officer/technician who collected the evidence at the scene and signed the evidence report was not in any way qualified to do so.
He was much more of a breathalyzer technician and someone who would do field drug testing and initial toxicology reports at the scenes of suspected crimes. It is believed that the shooting was his first ever full crime scene investigation and he had not been trained to the standard levels of competency. The Sanford PD did not think the case against Zimmerman had nearly enough merit to bother doing a thorough investigation.
In addition, when the drug screens come back from Martin, they will show a host of recreational drugs. All of this is further circumstantial evidence of potential irrational activity on the part of Mr. Martin, and remember, the State has already admitted that they have no evidence as to who started the fight.
There's more: There is another very interesting point of law coming to the forefront. It may easily be held that regardless of who started the fight, when Martin slammed Zimmerman's head onto the concrete with the force that he did, that act became Assault With A Deadly Weapon, (the concrete,) and at that point Zimmerman had the right to defend himself, with deadly force if necessary, regardless of what had happened up to that point.
We shall see.
We shall see too.
I shall scream my head off about this.
I shall email 10,000 people.
Did they do any toxicology tests on Zimmerman? I’m told that’s standard procedure in a shooting. I haven’t seen anything saying that they did.
But Zimmerman SHOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF HIS CAR, because getting out of his car is getting out of his car!
If someone gets out of their car on you, you have the right to...
Nevermind, I cannot even continue with my own sarcasm o0
/s
And today we have a police chief who did his job damn well stepping down in order to appease those who cannot be appeased and refuse to deal in reality.
This case is damaging to our society.
I believe this case will NEVER make it to trial! What happens on May 8th at the arraignment? Can it be thrown out then?
LOL!
How DARE he get.out.of.his.car.....Signed, Clara Lou
I don’t see why it matters much in this case who collected the evidence and signed the document. The evidence is all damning for Trayvon, not Zimmerman.
>>>Did they do any toxicology tests on Zimmerman? I’m told that’s standard procedure in a shooting. I haven’t seen anything saying that they did.
And there’s nothing on the record to say they didn’t either.
How ‘bout we let the facts come out, on the record until we jump to conclusions???
There is a separate SYG hearing, and it will be soon.
If this case gets thrown out, they are going to call it “a travesty and white man’s revenge for OJ”...nevermind that there’s no and that this incident has no white people in it.
Thanks for the update MB.
Did Zero and the race pimps jump on this horse a little too soon? Time will tell.
The judge can find there is no pc. But would you want to be that judge?
No doubt in my mind that if “Little Trayvon” had gotten Mr. Zimmerman’s gun away from him, he would have shot him dead on the spot.
I don’t know florida rules but,.... pretty much anyone can collect evidence. There are standard rules for collecting and if the rules are followed, it can be admitted into court. I can train anyone to collect evidence and as long as they can prove custoday, chain of evidence, and detail the steps they took in the collection, it will be admittede.
Do you think it’s after the arraignment, which they moved up from 5/29 to 5/8?
I PRAY O’Mara has a set and FIGHTS on behalf of George. I like Mark from what I’ve seen but he comes across like he’s always ready to acquiesce.
I agree 100%. Just what we know now from the photos and from the eye-witness testimony is that towards the end of the fight, Martin had Zimmerman trapped on the ground beating him, and slamming his head against the sidewalk...and this after Martin had broke Zimmerman’s nose.
Zimmerman was in mortal peril of his life and you can foget “stand your ground” at that point, it was a straight forward case of self defense.
I believe the 2nd degree murder and manslaughter charges will be acquitted and the State of Florida had best be prepared for that...and in force heavily.
The media, the race pimps, and this administration have purposfully turned this into a violent race situation, and done so purely for political purposes.
