What about the fact that Zimmerman apparently lied when he testified that he thought Martin was a “little” younger than he was (28), but on the 911 tape, he says he believed Martin was a “teenager”?

A "lie"? After a couple of sane comments, Wendy reverts to type with her typical jumping-to-conclusions nonsense.

These estimations by Zimmerman refer to two different points in time. His first guess as to Trayvon's age when he was talking to the police dispatcher was based on less information than at the later point in time when the physical confrontation occurred. Why didn't his later estimation become more accurate? Who knows? Maybe Trayvon had a deep voice. Maybe he had been growing facial hair as pictures seemed to indicate. Maybe Trayvon's aggressiveness seemed untypical for a mere teenager.

Zimmerman also apparently lied by omission when he failed to tell the court that he had $200,000 in a bank account.

Zimmerman was in jail until after the time of the bail hearing. Presumably, he didn't have internet access and may have had no idea what monies had been deposited in his web account. However, the existence of his website solicitation was reported in the news and it's surprising his lawyer was not aware of it.

Exactly correct. At best, this analysis is close to neutral, but trending in favor of the Martin camp.

And maybe he was 6' 3" or so, and built like a lumberjack. Trayvon Martin was a football player.

How come we haven't seen any info from Trayvon's coaches in Miami about Trayvon's conditioning, how much he could bench-press, how much he could clean-jerk, hand strength, leg strength, speed, and so on? What position did he play? First string, or third? What was his playing weight? Could he hit hard and tackle, take a man down? What were his typical practice times in the 40- and 100-yard dashes? Where's the info? The cat was an athlete, not a clocker.
