That’s why I’m questioning. “Is it possible?”, If so, will ballistic test determine the position of the gun when it fired. Will there be evidence?
We know cartledge didn’t eject. Freeper said some thing may have blocked it.
Asked yesterday if DNA or finger prints would be on gun/holster. Hopefully that is what we are waiting on.
Such temporary detention shall not extend beyond the place where it was first effected or the immediate vicinity thereof.
So? If you feel the cops were in violation of this stop and fisk law, then say so.
But the fact still remains that Zimmerman WAS NOT ARRESTED that night.
Here's the other part of the law you're ignoring.
(4) If at any time after the onset of the temporary detention authorized by subsection (2), probable cause for arrest of person shall appear, the person shall be arrested. If, after an inquiry into the circumstances which prompted the temporary detention, no probable cause for the arrest of the person shall appear, the person shall be released.Zimmerman wasn't released. He was handcuffed and removed from the scene in a police car, therefore he was arrested according to the law -- the law of Florida, and the law according to the Constitution (look up Florida v Royer (1983)). Your use of caps lock doesn't negate that.
Based upon reasonable suspicion that you may be involved in criminal activity, a police officer may require you to identify yourself and explain your presence at a particular time, without arresting you. Under Florida law the officer may not remove you from the immediate vicinity without making an arrest, unless you voluntarily accompany the officer to some other location.
Being handcuffed and transported in the back of a police car is not voluntary. Thanks for making my case.
Is there no limit to what you don’t know? For instance, ANY one who informs the cops that he just shot that man who’s lying dead over there is ALWAYS cuffed. Standard procedure. How do you know the cuffs were still on as he VOLUNTARILY was taken to the precinct?
Try answering these qauestions...
How many hours was Zimmerman detained?
Was his attorney there?
Did Zimmerman cooperate with the poloce?
Absolutely. Zimmerman was cuffed while he was disarmed and that's covered by the "stop and frisk" law.
How do you know the cuffs were still on as he VOLUNTARILY was taken to the precinct?
LOL!
Voluntary is when the police inform Zimmerman that he is free to leave and that he can meet them at the police station.
Aren’t there laws against naming minor witnesses?
Parents need to lawyer up and sue them into oblivion.
Probably not in the Pedophile Liberal Progressive community.
There was a story a couple days ago where a little girl was jumping on her parents' bed. A gun under the mattress went off, and wounded her in the leg. So yes, I suppose it is indeed possible. So if Martin was jumping on George, perhaps the gun under George went off.
