Trayvon’s girfriend exonerates Zimmerman

And the lynching continues.

First, the claims about the video tape.

[VIDEO AT SITE]

What? No bruising visible on the brown man one hour or so after the injury?

Trayvon Martin Video Shows No Blood or Bruises on George Zimmerman

Or does it? Here are my screen caps

Zimmerman does indeed exhibit a head wound

One of the officers examines the wound to see if it is still bleeding

Here's the funniest image. The police put a Caucasian clown nose on Zimmerman. Or maybe it was a dressing.

There is something on Zimmerman's nose

The police report says that Zimmerman was bleeding from the nose and the back of the head. It says his back was wet and covered with grass. There is nothing about "grass stains."

We can't see from this video if there is any remaining blood on Zimmerman's red and black fleece or his dark grey shirt.

Anyone else notice that the "white Hispanic" George Zimmerman is a lot browner than at first believed?

Now consider these headline from Drudge:

Nothing will make me believe Martin did not attack Zimmerman.

And nothing will make most blacks believe Zimmerman did not "murder" Trayvon in cold blood out of "racism", which is the crux of this media/campaign-invented fiction: to drive angry blacks to the polls in record numbers. Expect a long, hot summer of hate-in-hoodies.

Actually, they don’t CARE what really happened, they only see an opportunity to lash out.

Since the gun was so close to both of them, would both of them test positive for nitrate residue?

” I’d think it would be impossible to shoot somebody at point blank range, especially while BELOW them, and not get blood on you.”

I’ve wondered about this, too. Maybe when they were wrestling around they rolled sideways and the splatter went elsewhere.

Anyway, it would seem that he would have some splatter.

On the tape, one of the officers is putting something in the trunk. Related? Was Zimmerman taken to his house to change clothes?

What a mess this is....

“Nothing will make me believe Martin did not attack Zimmerman.”

That does not mean that Zimmerman’s actions did not put Martin in fear for his life justifying Martin’s self defense.

Imagine your are on foot, in the dark, in the rain, in an area that you may not be completely familiar with. Someone starts to follow you in their car. You quicken your pace and get off the road. The stalker gets out of his car and continues his pursuit of you on foot. If it were me, I would be thinking about defending myself. Wouldn’t you? Now suppose that you suspect that this person who won’t leave you alone telegraphs that he is armed and makes an abrupt movement to his side. You might want to get the first punch in as well.

Since the gun was so close to both of them, would both of them test positive for nitrate residue?

If fired at near contact range I would expect that both would test positive. The positive result is not as important as the location that the nitrate was found. Zimmerman would test positive on the hand that held the gun, Martin would have a burn pattern around the entry wound. If Martin were wrestling for the gun when it went off the forearm and hand that held the slide would test positive as well as the entry wound. A struggle for the pistol is about the only way to explain the empty shell casing in the gun's chamber and a full magazine.

Head wounds bleed a lot.

I have no doubt of what the outcome would have been had Martin seized control of Zimmerman's pistol!

That will likely be a major factor if it goes to trial.
