The George Zimmerman Video Tape

The police investigator tape was made with George Zimmerman the day after the accidental, non-premeditated shooting that killed 17 yr. old Trayvon Martin. Yes, of course, it tells the Zimmerman side of the story and that is very persuasive if one can put race aside (which many simply are locked into).

Zimmerman clearly has bandages on the head still, investigators are asking key questions as they go from A to Z on the event. For the first time, the public now understands why Zimmerman could not provide an address as to his location, now, one can see, why anyone might suspect any strange male walking through a condo project from the rear at night, might raise awareness. Seeing the setting tells you a lot. Zimmerman also clearly states again, he was confronted by surprise by Trayvon in the black of night, startling and scaring him. Again, Z recites that Trayvon said Zimmerman was going to die tonight and Trayvon attacked him. That is when Z pulled out is gun from under his shirt. The first thing Trayvon said, according to Z, was "Yo, do you have a problem"? Z turned around and replied, "No, I don't have a problem". Trayvon was 10 ft. away. But, Trayvon was agitated. At this time, Z reached for his cell phone and for a moment took his eyes off of Trayvon. The next thing Z knew, Trayvon was 3-4 ft. away and saying, " You do now" and that was followed by Trayvon fists.

According to CNN, while it is Zimmerman's version, simply seeing the setting seems to make Zimmerman's explanation persuasive. Of course, Trayvon is dead and cannot speak to it, so the prosecution will have more of a mountain to prove that events were different.
