I thought was referred to as Saint Skittles now?
Crump just threw the case. It sounds to me like he’s conceding Martin started the fight. His logic that event A (in a chain of events) resulted in event F is deeply flawed, and will be seen as nonsense.
Nice shot, George.
No, Trayvon did not have the right to stand his ground as Capt. Zimmerman was the one who was attacked and was acting to protect his property and his Neighborhood Watch sector.

But we’re to believe that it would have been morally superior for Martin to have killed Zimmerman than for Zimmerman to have killed Martin in self defense.
The White House backed War on Neighborhood Watch rumbles on. The subtext is that gangsters should have free reign of your streets.
If you’ve EVER walked a night shift in a bad part of town, you know how thankless and lonely it is. As the car with 4 shaved headed thugs rolls up with pumping music, your heart starts to race. You quickly realize you are WAY under armed for a confrontation.
Those of you who have not walked a route: you really don’t know what you’re talking about.
its a sad situation, sad that we have to have armed people protecting neighborhoods but that is what it has come down too....
The right to swing your fist ends at the other guy’s nose.
There are some sick puppies posting comments there.
The slam dunk for this will be found with the autopsy report, and it will be based on how the bullet went through Martin’s body. The angle of the bullet track will show whether Martin was standing upright, was on top of Zimmerman as he described, or otherwise.
If he was straddling Zimmerman, with Zimmerman firing up, the bullet track is going to be very obvious and almost impossible to reproduce were they both, or even if one or the other were standing up.
What is left is an emotional appeal. If the Prosecutor can get a sufficiently incompetent jury, she might be able to sway them with emotional arguments and with threats racial unrest.
We'll see which path she follows and how bad she wants the conviction.
Why is “new account” in the title? What’s new?
It is an odd article. The writer seemed conflicted, which led to choppy, contradictory and confusing writing.
Where was the gun on Mr Zimmerman’s body?
If the gun was at the waist, then what was trayvon’s hands doing down there?
If a guy is bashing another man’s head on the pavement, wouldn’t his hands be at the shoulders or above?
When did his hands wander to the waist?
Then, was the gun in the front or back?
When trayvon was straddling Mr Zimmerman, did his knee accidentaly hit the gun, thus notifying trayvon that a gun was available and that’s when both of them went for it?
Crump only believes the story the voices in his head are telling him. He is not particularly concerned with people who were actually there.
Angela Corey was interested in getting the target off of her back.
