Just saw a report on CNN International where a friend of Zimmermann, Joe Oliver (who is African-American) said the gun went off when the two struggled. He didn’t say how the gun became exposed in the struggle.
It sounded to me like in the 911 call from the neighbor that there were two gunshots. Maybe one went stray during the struggle and the other found its mark.
Joe Oliver is a wonderful friend to have. It speaks well of Zimmerman that they are pals. He has been amazingly calm and articulate in his defense of Z. He even went on that schmuck Chris Matthews’ show last night and he was almost (I say almost) treated with respect.
He’s a good-looking guy. I wonder if Chris got a thrill.
