A new report shows that the day after killing Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman passed a police lie detector test. He registered truthful in stating that he was afraid for his life before shooting the teen. The report does not materially affect the trial since such tests are not admissible but may explain the the resistance of local officials to bring the case. It also further supports the view, again, that Angela Corey overcharged the case. She was no doubt aware of the test which, while not admissible as evidence because their reliability is questioned, can be considered by the prosecutors in determining the appropriate charge. UPDATE: A police report shows a critical view of Zimmerman’s account and says that he missed two opportunities to defuse the situation.
Zimmerman willingly submitted to a computer voice stress analyzer (CVSA) “truth verification” on February 27 and the test “was classified as No Deception Indicated (NDI).” This included the question of “Did you confront the guy you shot?’ He answered, “No.” He was rated as telling the truth in both saying that he did not confront Martin and that he was in fear of his life.
Also released recently are further details from Zimmerman to the police. Zimmerman insisted that the teen knocked him down and began to pound his head in the sidewalk while telling him “You’re going to die.” Zimmerman claims Trayvon reached for the gun and that he grabbed it to protect himself.
Both the question of fear and the party responsible for the confrontation could be distorted by Zimmerman’s perspective and not accepted objectively by third parties. Of the two questions, however, the confrontation question is the most interesting. It is rare for targeted suspects to agree to lie detectors, though I have agreed to such tests in past cases.
Once again, this evidence does not rule out the basis for a criminal charge, but in my view strongly militates against a charge greater than manslaughter. In fairness to the local officials, the evidence also offers support for their view that no charge was appropriate. One can disagree with that conclusion, but they may have had solid reasons for opposing a charge. That does not excuse sloppy police work and there was still a basis to detain Zimmerman at the scene. However, the case has become more muddled with such new evidence. As a criminal defense attorney, I have always viewed this case as one with strong defense arguments for trial. While the odds always favor the prosecution, the factual record has a number of elements that could create reasonable doubt. Obviously, the trial itself can present facts in different light and the prosecution has yet to be fully heard in the case.

“with forensics indicating that Martin’s hoodie and shirt were being pulled away from his body and towards the gun when the shot was fired.” –
This interpretation makes sense.
Something else that makes sense and helps to account for the missing time from the end of Z’s call to the 911 calls: another blog proposed that Zimmerman went down RVC toward the back entrance, then cut between the houses to the path. Or possibly, all the way to the end and then up the path then moving toward the T. Either way it would help to explain the witness who said that she saw two people running toward the T. I can more easily see Z trying to catch the “a..h… who always get away” than Martin chasing the weird guy who’s been following him. Besides, if it happened this way, Z is the one lying so he would be the aggressor.
Zimmerman made a huge mistake that has changed his life. I just wish he’d own up to it, take his punishment, and move on.
SonofThunder, George no longer needs Anger Management; he has forgiven all those people who criticized him for killing an unarmed kid, although he WOULD like an apology from Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, right? Oh well, some people just don’t apologize when they do wrong…what can we say?
Here’s a question:
Autopsy says the gunshot was at INTERMEDIATE RANGE.
Analysis of the clothing says CONTACT SHOT.
How does that work?
About George not shooting his other hand? Apparently, while he was being viciously beaten, he had his little hands curled up on his chest, so he wouldn’t break his nails. He couldn’t afford to break his fingernails! So instead of punching back, pushing the thug off him, shielding his face, grabbing or smacking or jabbing or gouging eyes or pulling nose or anything like that, he was:
wiggling so his head could hit grass rather than concrete
and
yelling a lot
Picture him: hands curled up demurely in front of him while he’s being beaten half to death. NOT in front of his fragile nose, just in front of his chest, so that finally, when he realizes he has to kill his assailant, he needs to be careful not to shoot the one useless hand with the other that is now holding the gun.
Isn’t George Z a terrible wus? I mean couldn’t even fight for two minutes? Couldn’t defend himself at all from a kid who had no training? Here was George, just about to become a cop, and couldn’t hold off an angry teen-ager for a couple of minutes til the police arrived? What a little sissy!
Funny, he doesn’t LOOK as easy to dominate as he WAS. What could be the reason for that? Some ideas:
1. He’s used to being abused because his mother beat the sh*t out of him and then he had a girlfriend from whom he needed an order of protection and then he married a dominatrix who looks like a real bruiser;
2. He’s so scared of threatening black kids that he loses all ability to defend himself and screams like a little girl instead;
3. He lacks self esteem so he can’t muster any self-defensive energy unless he pulls his gun;
4. He’s a damn liar. He confronted, tried to “arrest,” got angry at, and killed Trayvon Martin but then he wanted to walk away from his crime and stay “good guy” and get what he wanted in life.
sonofthunderboanerges,
I’m currently revamping my Zimmerman’s Call blog to take account of the latest evidence releases.
I’m way behind because I had to go on a 3-week field trip to the wilds just after the release.
The blog as a whole will be a bit messy for a few hours as I go editing through it.
However, the Speculation page touched on this ANGER thing, with the flight/fight reflex being a trigger point.
http://zimmermanscall.blogspot.com/p/speculation.html
I love everyone’s analysis. I know GZ, Taaffe, and O’Mara are watching. I know Frank is because he has already tried to make contact on another forum. He is not pleased.
I just want to say GZ’s self-diagnosis of ADHD is bogus. It is not typical for someone his age and GZ is hardly HYPERactive or he would have defended himself vigorously with his hands. I would say he might have Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (AADD). But I don’t feel abject forgetfulness is a really big symptom. Racing thoughts, short attention span, and maybe a slightly increased intelligence acumen may be indicated. I feel AADD victims tend to pay a lot of attention to EVERYTHING around them. So much so it is a deficit – hence the name.
I’d say he has FAHD (f**king as* hole disorder)
I think what he needs is ANGER MANAGEMENT. Frank too.
Bettykath,

This references the report of :
Amy L. Siewert is a Crime Laboratory Analyst employed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Crime Laboratory. She examined TM’s Fruit of the Loom dark gray hooded sweatshirt (Exhibit ME 12) and the light gray Nike sweatshirt (Exhibit ME 8) that he was wearing underneath the hoodie when GZ shot and killed him
The forensics reports gives the bald technical details. The blog post puts an interpretation on those.
“with forensics indicating that Martin’s hoodie and shirt were being pulled away from his body and towards the gun when the shot was fired.” –
Where is this?
Sling, do you the url for that stately place?
Sling, thank you once again.
You mention “with forensics indicating that Martin’s hoodie and shirt were being pulled away from his body and towards the gun when the shot was fired.” —
Now I see it more clearly. George (and Frank) had actually gotten ahold of Trayvon Martin when the whining “Gowayyyy Gowayyy” screams were heard, right before the shot. He was unable to get away because he was being held by his shirt and hoodie. He was then shot right through the shirt and hoodie.
Angela Corey undercharged this case. but I understand why she did.
Here’s something I posted over in a Stately place re the Hannity interview.
I’ll edit it up with links and a graphic and add it as a new page in my Zimmerman’s Call blog real soon now – like tomorrow or so 🙂
============================================
The interview seems to have been a PR exercise to gather support.
It is useful, though, as a pointer to the stall that O’Mara is laying out.
The bottom line will be that Zimmerman was doing absolutely nothing provocative or inadvisable.
So:
Zimmerman got out to get a house number simply because he thought of doing so. The dispatcher had not yet asked him about where Martin was headed at that time. He deciding to get a house number just happened to coincide with Martin running/skipping. The door opening immediately on “He’s running” is coincidence.
Martin did not run – and certainly did not run in fear. He just sort of skipped – moved a bit faster than a walk.This is important as Martin running might imply that Zimmerman had been behaving in a manner that would alarm someone who was not actually in the act of housebreaking , etc.
Zimmerman did not run. He walked. The noises that sound like him hurrying/jogging and a bit breathless are just wind noises that just happened to start about 4 seconds after he got out and just happened to stop while he was still walking.
This ‘not hurrying’ is important, as hurrying might imply an urgency in tracking Martin and/or risking bumping into a person whose location was unknown as they could not be seen at the time.
The fact that walking unquestionably puts him still on the roadway of Twin Trees at the time of “Are you following him?” “Yeah” “We don’t need you to do that” is irrelevant. He was not actually following – so the question about the advisability of following is moot.
Zimmerman did not follow. It just happened that a walk of 250 feet to Retreat View Circle happened to be in the direction of a place where Martin had disappeared from his sight.
He had the option of a much safer and shorter walk of 100 feet to RVC if he had gone North instead of East.
However, going East past the place where Martin had skipped out of sight was not unsafe. This is because Zimmerman did not feel threatened ( “No, not particularly” ) by Martin and had done nothing to provoke Martin.
There is a slight conflict with the last bit as Zimmerman says “but I was certain I could see him saying something to me. And his demeanor, his body language, was confrontational.
.
Zimmerman finished the call at RVC and started walking back to his truck. Martin attacked him less than 30 seconds later.
The 30 seconds is a reasonable time for a walk from RVC to the point just West of the T-junction. 20 seconds at a normal pace would do it, but 30 seconds is fine.
.
It is here that anyone who has the ability to stand back and look at the evidence can see that Zimmerman’s story can not stand up to examination against known inescapable facts.
The call ended at 19:13:41
Martin attacked Zimmerman “Less than 30 seconds” later. Say 19:14:10
Ok so far.
The first 911 call connected at 19:16:11
A shot is heard 42 seconds into the call – at 19:16:53
This means that Martin had been beating Zimmerman for 2 minutes before that call connected.
Martin continued to beat Zimmerman for another 42 seconds – up to the shot. This is a total of 2 minutes and 42 seconds during which Martin had been punching Zimmerman and banging his head on the ground.
The interviews with that 911 caller, she on the corner house with her rear porch door open, indicates that she was quick to dial 911.
If we allow 20 seconds from her noticing a loud argument and her phone connecting to 911, that leaves 1 minute and 40 seconds of Martin beating Zimmerman within 20 feet of her open porch door that was conducted without loud noises – like anyone arguing or shouting for help. 1 minute and 40 seconds in which neither raised their voice and Zimmerman did not call for help despite being beaten.
Zimmerman’s injuries were minor. Are they really consistent with a beating that lasted 2 minutes and 42 seconds?
What if Zimmerman has the “less than 30 seconds wrong”?
If the altercation broke out, say 20 seconds before that 911 call connected, then the entire time of struggle is reasonably accounted for – and Zimmerman’s minor injuries more plausible as been due to a mere 1 minute of punching and head-beating.
Unfortunately, that leaves a problem. It would mean that the altercation began 2 minutes and 30 seconds after Zimmerman’s NEN call ended.
That might lead a jury to assume that Zimmerman had indeed gone wandering in search of the “**holes” and “punks” who “always get away”.
.
O’Mara can probably deal with matters like the clubhouse CCTV analysis showing a vehicle cruising around the clubhouse and ending up parking in Twin Trees exactly as Frank Taafe says Zimmerman indicated to him – making a U-turn and facing the clubhouse. The person shining a flashlight in the clubhouse door is not necessarily Zimmerman – just someone a bit like him. The image segments of a vehicle could be any vehicle similar to Zimmerman’s.
He can probably deal with forensics indicating that Martin’s hoodie and shirt were being pulled away from his body and towards the gun when the shot was fired.
“Following” can become “going in the same direction”.
“Running” can become skipping.
Conflicts in statements, interviews and walk through can be put down to stress, bad memory and ADHD.
What O’Mara won’t ever be able to explain is the automatically recorded timings of phone calls. There is no reasonable explanation for a gap in the order of 2 minutes.
He’ll have to go for a plea deal, or head the whole thing off by successfully arguing SYG – without putting Zimmerman up for cross-examination. If Zimmerman is put on the stand, his credibility becomes Zero.
Any jury is going to see Zimmerman’s story as completely unreliable.
http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/criminal/many-killers-who-go-free-with-florida-stand-your-ground-law-have-history/1241378
The Times analysis found that 67 percent of all defendants who invoked the law went free. For defendants who had at least one arrest, the success rate dropped to 59 percent. Serial law-breakers — those with three or more arrests — walked free only 45 percent of the time.
Even so, killers with repeated run-ins with the law and with violent accusations in their past have successfully claimed “stand your ground” across the state.
• Jackson Fleurimon had been arrested for battery, aggravated assault and drug possession. Witnesses said he was in a beef over drug turf when he shot and killed a man in Orange County in 2009. A judge granted him immunity.
• Tavarious China Smith was a drug dealer with multiple arrests who killed a man during an 2008 argument over drug territory in Manatee County. He claimed self-defense and went free. Less than three years later, he was back in front of prosecutors for a different homicide, this one the result of a shoot-out outside a nightclub. Smith once again went free by claiming “stand your ground.”
• In Tallahassee, Dervaunta Vaughn had been accused of battery at least six times before police arrested him in a gangland shoot-out that left one person dead in March 2009. After Vaughn invoked “stand your ground,” prosecutors struck a plea deal that dropped murder charges and sent Vaughn to prison for eight years for illegally carrying a gun.
• Alexander Lopez-Lima’s run-ins with the law began two days after his 15th birthday. His half-dozen arrests include battery, selling and possessing marijuana and strong arm robbery, court records show. In 2011 a judge decided the then-18-year-old Lopez-Lima was standing his ground when he wound up in an armed battle and killed another teen who had come to his house to smoke marijuana.
• Norman Borden, a now-deceased West Palm Beach man, racked up arrests for criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and aggravated assault in the 1980s and ’90s before he was acquitted of murder in the deaths of two men who threatened him with bats while he walked his dog.
And then there’s Maurice Moorer.”
Read the article of this incredible SYG case. The view I see is that this law cheapens life and people go free when they manipulate the system. Who knows, George may get even more lenient treatment….
I posted that MINI DOSSIER on GZ to give people some in depth fodder for their personal analysis efforts. I really think this kid really stepped in his own metaphorical crap in life. I believe he was manipulated to this violent incident by a close but demented friend (i.e. Frank Taaffe). I don’t think GZ ever killed anything in his brief past (only 29 years old) not even a pit bull at RATL that was bothering him and the neighbors. I am not trying to spiritually exonerate him of the crime at hand but my “evidence whispering” techniques are screaming that he did NOT actually pull the trigger – I truly believe Frank did. However. that does not clear GZ of felony behavior. Clearly covering up a murder by another is in itself worth at least 30 years or more. OJ got more for trying to take back his own stuff.
Don’t get me wrong… still keep the spotlight on GZ very hard! But let’s also aim that at the OTHER guy trying to avoid that beam of truth.
This is my humorous take on F.T. stealing a police cruiser and trying to avoid our spotlight in a civilian helicopter firing metaphorical bullets of evidence at him – 2:42 minutes of tongue-in-cheek humor (take a break from reality for a moment):
Excuse me, Professor Turley, I’m having a problem reconciling ideas expressed in two of your articles. In a recent blog post about the fury of the painter scorned, you said:
“Fury reportedly confessed after being told by Navy investigators that he failed a lie detector test. Polygraphs are often used for their ability to unnerve a suspect or prompt a confession. I have handled cases where the test itself was little more than theater…”
But in this thread, you seem to put some stock in the voice stress test performed AT GEORGE ZIMMERMAN’S REQUEST in which he was asked only questions he had agreed (with the tester) to answered, which questions were — shall we say — not particularly challenging.
Watching the video of George taking the test and so forth, one would have to definitely call it theater and we all know who wrote the script. So for the voice stress test to have impressed Angela Corey or influenced her decision as to how to charge George Zimmerman — well — wouldn’t make sense, would it?
What if somebody were charged with a crime and they insisted they didn’t do it and weren’t responsible? Wouldn’t we have to agree that was unfair? After all, THEY said it didn’t happen that way…
http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2012/07/17/george_zimmerman_molestation_accusations_relevant_testimony_in_trial.html?wpisrc=obinsite
Also: A lot of the prosecution’s case depends on establishing whether or not Zimmerman is a glib liar who is capable of viciously attacking people and then playing the innocent “who me?” card while insinuating that the victim was asking for it. Pretty much all men who sexually assault women have developed an ability to do this; part of the routine of a rapist is terrifying and hurting someone only to convince the community to embrace him after the fact and write off the victim as hysterical, a liar, or a slut trying to cover her tracks. We know that most sexual assailants are repeat offenders—indeed, this is what the accuser in this case is claiming of Zimmerman—which means they have a lot of opportunities to practice playing innocent and blaming the victim after they’ve committed the crime. If the prosecution wants to establish that Zimmerman is the kind of guy who is capable of assaulting and even murdering someone and then playing innocent victim, a history of cutting his teeth as a sexual assailant helps establish that narrative.
BettyKath, I guess the “soul of the killer” really did enter into my mind and really did inspite me to deep and urgent prayer to George’s Maker. 🙂
omg, Malisha, I can hear Zimmerman saying that prayer. It’s all about projection.
Oh how I wish Hannity had asked George Zimmerman to help the Martin family by saying, out loud, the prayer that he says “daily” for them. I imagine it goes something like this:
Dear God,
It’s me again, George, and again, I’m sorry about the death of your son.
You’re my hero, and I just want to use you as my role model, and I really appreciate your being on my side, and trying to help me.
God, I come before you to ask for justice and mercy for the mother and father of “the guy” I shot. I still have not gotten to the point where I will say his name, because he did not have the humility to recognize your light in my eyes the day that he and I met, because of Your Plan.
Dear God, I ask your unlimited mercy for the father of “the guy” I shot, because I don’t know the real reason that in your plan for this man, you did not have him understand his responsibility to raise his son in such a way that the boy would not seek to kill an innocent stranger. I ask your unlimited mercy for “the guy”‘s father, also, to reach out your all-powerful hand and to TOUCH his heart with mercy and love, which he was unfortunately unable to teach his errant son, in time, to avoid tragedy. But, God, it is not too late for him. If you reach out TODAY, even TODAY, and touch the heart of the father of “the guy” and make him accept your love today, he still has time, there is still time, for him to realize that what he needs to do is to understand Your Plan and understand how, in your infinite wisdom, you needed to make me an instrument of your will so that I could face these demons and show that young African American men lacking in godliness could demonstrate, even in their death, that their vicious and foolhardy desire to kill innocents like me for no reason on dark nights in nice neighborhoods could be rejected, could be renounced, could be publicly disavowed by their own fathers, their blessed fathers, who could accept Your Plan and, on behalf of their own departed sons’ lives, make a new statement to the world: OUR SONS MUST STOP TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE LIKE GEORGE ZIMMERMAN.
Dear God, you can still do this, you can turn this father around, so that he can make a lasting memorial to the memory of his sinner son, so that his son will have died for his own sins but so that others need not follow his example and continue to do so, I ask this in your sacred son’s name, Lord.
And Dear God, I pray now most urgently for the soul of the mother of “the guy,” who has appeared on television, over and over, showing anger in her face. Lord, I have been to anger management class, and I know, that anger is not your way, and that you can touch someone’s heart, and make them give up their anger, and make them walk away from their anger, so that they are not sunk in the destitution of their sinful rage. You can do that, Lord, and I pray for that on behalf of the mother of “the guy.”
Lord, you can turn her around and make her realize that her own dearly beloved son, for whom she would naturally make any excuse, lost his precious life because of the unruly and unwarranted anger that he gave himself over to, on that night on 2/26/2012 when he viciously attacked me, seeking to kill me for simply appearing in his field of vision with what he perceived as the wrong look upon my godly face. Dear God, please, I beg you, touch this woman with the kind of love you have given to my own sainted wife Shellie, who has faced demons on my behalf and who will again have to face demons on my behalf because we are poor. Lord, please, take this opportunity to THIS DAY reach into the heart of the mother of “the guy” and make her give up her anger, and make her go to the others — the prosecutor, the judge, the people who preach anger from their pulpits and from the media — and make her let the light of Your Grace shine through her so that she tells them:
GEORGE ZIMMERMAN IS INNOCENT.
I have given up my anger and wish that I had raised my son to give up HIS ANGER.
We have no more anger.
FREE GEORGE ZIMMERMAN and bless him,
Dear Lord,
I ask for this,
Thank you,
Amen.
(Donated organ music and a coupla really cute blonde angels making sacred wind sounds with their wings, please!)
Hey Sean, how ’bout it — broadcast George saying his urgent prayers, OK?
O’Mara — how’s this script? LIKEY? No copyright — you’re free to use it any time.
Shano, thanks, what you wrote really significantly made this a better-hair day for me than it had been before. And if you could see my hair, you would know that you had done a good deed for a poor old woman.
Furthermore, I liked what you wrote for another reason. The only way I can figure things out is by putting myself in the place of the person I am trying to analyze. I have to know enough to “be George Zimmerman” to figure out what GZ did, or was likely to have done. It is as if I am an actor (I am not) getting into a role, so that I can figure out the motivation, the rationale, the underlying forces. I have a dear friend (we call each other sisters in spite of the fact that we are from radically different backgrounds and only met when we were both adults) who is a very accomplished actress, one of the best (and this opinion has been seconded by Meryl Streep!) and who more or less taught me this (without my asking). She gets into a role and she says, “What is this person going to DO when that person does THAT?” and that’s how she does her acting, and it honestly never fails, and the reviewers say that, consistently, eloquently. Once you’re in that person’s mind you CAN figure out the incomprehensible!
You may never be able to do this if the other person’s mind is totally opaque to you, that’s the only drawback. Zimmerman is NOT OPAQUE. He’s pretty simple; he’s pretty transparent.
“These a55holes always get away.”
“Sh*t, he ran.”
“He looks like he’s up to no good.”
“The suspect again emerged from the darkness.”
“He said, ‘you got me, or you got it,'”
“I was yelling for help but nobody would help me.”
“Man, just call my wife and tell her I shot somebody.”
“To be honest with you, up until that point, I had forgotten I had my gun with me.”
“I said, ‘no, I don’t have a problem,’ and I reached for my cell phone…”
Transparent. It means:
“I was pumped up and I wasn’t gonna let this one get away. But when it turned out he wasn’t a criminal or anything, I realized, he really WAS a bad guy because he wanted to hurt ME. All of what happened was about HIM hurting ME. HE wanted to kill ME and that’s why I had to kill HIM. Otherwise I WOULD HAVE LOST, and I HAVE TO WIN.”
Malisha, The voice stress test was run twice.*
Sonofthunder: looks like the zimmerman team has some pr folks at work.
Why Malisha, I think you have been possessed by the mind of a killer!
Better shake it off!
two things have occurred to me about the “lie detector tests” administered to Zimmerman the day after the shooting.
1. WE ONLY SAW A VIDEO OF ONE, not TWO. Why is the video of the other one not being released?
2. Considering the way George Zimmerman changes the meaning of things in his own mind, I can see why the two questions being tested:
“Did you confront the guy you shot?” and
“At the time you shot him were you afraid for your life?”
could come out the way he chose to say them (did NOT confront; yes WAS afraid for my life) and still make him “telling substantially the truth” as he knew it although he was obviously lying.
Here’s why:
Question: Did George Confront the guy he shot?
Obvious answer: Of course.
George’s way of seeing what happened: “No, I did not confront him. He confronted ME! He wanted to know what I WAS DOING following him. But I was not following him, I was just protecting my neighborhood. I’m a GOOD GUY. I was doing what I should do when I see a suspicious person in the rain preying on my neighbors, looking into their houses, looking to do wrong, up to no good. I did not confront him, I merely wanted to know what he was doing there. I’m perfectly within my rights to find out what a suspicious guy is doing in MY NEIGHBORHOOD. That’s not confrontation; that’s a free man’s right to live free and stand his ground. Thus, I did not confront him.”
Question: Were you afraid for your life at the time that you shot him?
Obvious Answer: Of course not.
George’s way of seeing what happened: “This guy was suspicious. He had no right to be there, and he had run, and he was trying to avoid answering perfectly righteous normal questions posed to him by a good guy who was only trying to protect his neighborhood. Therefore, for him to refuse to behave decently and answer a few simple questions from an authority figure, for him to instead CHALLENGE MY AUTHORITY, was wrong, and that shows how dangerous he was. That he wouldn’t buckle under when I required him to stop being obstreperous is another indication that he was up to no good. That he began struggling and actually got aggressive with me was scary, and after I fell, I knew that this was all going wrong. What if he got the better of ME and had ME in a subordinated, weakened position when the police arrived, how would THAT look? I would have to be rescued by the police when I was trying to be the neighborhood superhero? That would RUIN MY LIFE. HE CAN’T CHALLENGE MY AUTHORITY LIKE THAT! My life depends upon my being able to show how important and righteous and dominant I REALLY AM; I can’t let this happen; this will ruin my life. This is no joke; I am afraid for my life! My life will be SH*T FOREVER unless I win in this confrontation with this thug who does not acknowledge my authority and who is trying to humiliate me and get away.”
SonofThunder, good work, thank you very much.
I notice that none of the African Americans who were involved with him before the 2005 personal problems period (the “2005 PPP) has ever shown up for an interview by anyone. Interesting.
I understand that Zimmerman was estranged from his family until this event on 2/26/2012 occurred.
