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.
I’m fairly certain both prosecution and defense asked for it to be sealed.
O'Mara comes off as a nice guy, but also comes off as very well prepared and always in control. That bail hearing sent a message that he's quite capable of being tough in court.
OMG I got out of my car and walked around town for a whole day! Lucky I didn’t get my @ss whipped as I wouldn’t have even known I deserved it!!!
I thought Zimmerwhiteman hunted him down and shot him in mid-skittle.
What are those pics of?
Uh, he was, uh, yeah, I got it. He was taking a class in jewelry repair. Yeah, that's it!
Truth be told, as long as you don't have the sheer audacity to get out of your car when certain "people" are around to see you get out of your car, then you will likely be OK and within your rights.
But hey! It ain cool be walkin that fast. Damn wyatt people likes to walk fast cause they ain cool an they alls want to look like they going somewhere portant. They alls walkin fast like they gots git home tuh take a leak or sumpin.
You gots to stroll like its a sunny day in duh park an you ain in no hurry git anywhere 'tall. Like, when dat rett light change green an you inna cross walk wit all them wyatt people waitin in they cars? You gots to walk nice an calm cross dat street to let then know who's in charge uh dis place an they ain no traffic light gone bust you stride.
If you walks a mile in less than 45 minute, you outta de thug club, man! Dat series! Sides, walkin fast wear out that $200 shoe you stole from dat wyatt boy jus for you smack his haid an knock he out.
You forgot the tag! One never knows anymore.
“What are the pics of”
His bloody head...
Is this the same friend who said there would be no indictment?
You never kill your friends to appease your enemies. Good on Sanford for not accepting resignation. I bet he’s been threatened as well.
O’Mara is a kick ass attorney. Zimmerman is well defended. He’s not flashy or controversial. But he’s smart and efficient.
OK. Thanks. So it wasn’t released yet. I’m sure/hope his lawyer has the results or able to have had it tested themselves.
Oh, yes! Thanks.
Good to know. Is this the same lawyer who said he isn’t going to represent him anymore since he didn’t hear from him and said he wasn’t in FL anymore but far away?
They've verified the location of the 7-Eleven? In another thread, a question was raised about that. I think someone was using Google Maps to plot the store locations relative to the scene of the shooting - it was more like two miles.
Wow. The question remains... will we see the actual autopsy or will that be sealed too?
No. That was Z’s two previous lawyers that hauled ass. He has solid representation now. Its all good. The focus is to discredite an idiot names crump or parks..
OMG!! You must have taken a post graduate course in Ebonics.
