A tape was played during the testimony phase on which Zimmerman had given a statement that night as to what happened.

There’s also audio recordings presented of Z on the phone with the dispatcher right before T attacked him...

All Zimmerman had to do . . . what I would do . . . was wait for the police.

It appears that he was waiting for the police; the operator asked him for the address so the police would know where to go; and when Zimmerman got out to check the address, he was ambushed by Trayvon.

So, once attacked, what would you do then? Still wait for the police?

Somebody tell BLDR that in order to sell BS you have to first sound like you’re buying it.

Ref your post to race, I discovered that you can’t reason with a crazy man. . .he is just now posting today on the subject. He clearly had not followed the case nor paid attention to the facts.

So, either he is an uninformed commenter or he is being deliberately acting trollish . . .or both.

Heard this from many sources. At worst a hung jury.

True . . . I did not go back inside and slaughter the family.

Did the dispatcher tell Zimmerman not to follow T? What did dispatcher tell Z?

If cops were on the way . . . all Z needed to do was keep T in view. Right?

It’s supposedly an exception to the hearsay rule

Called the “dying declaration”....

EXCEPT, I don’t see how that’s acceptable, because the way I was taught was that in order for it to be a dying declaration, the decedent has to KNOW or reasonably believe they are about to die.

Martin had no idea.

I'd like to see MOM object and say:

"Your honor, I object to BDLR mishandling my clients gun. Tommorrow he will be acquitted and will need it immediately after acquittal".

From following Twitter just now, there is going to be some BIG disappointment among Trayvon supporters if GZ is acquitted.

The color of the sky in their world certainly isn't blue or gray. And all it will take is one tiny spark to ignite their rage.

That said, such seems to be the goal of Obama, Holder, Sharpton et al.

While your head is being smashed on the concrete? You'd just wait for the police? Even if you could stop him from smashing your head in, you wouldn't? You'd wait for somebody else to come handle it for you?
