What is significant about it? Everyone has been reporting the story the same way, as soon as his attorney put out a claim of a shot-gun, everyone reported it, so what is the big deal?
Who has been holding anything back? Heck you have been on a long thread that had all kinds of reporting of it, so why pretend that they weren't?
But the NYT wasn’t able to complete the story without one bogus comparison of “no weapon found.” Well in the Traytable case, it is also “no weapon alleged,” and there has not been a formal filing asking for SYG in the Traytable case, which there has to be in order to use it.
What is significant about it is that the New York Times is publishing it within two days of the event. George Zimmerman's version of events did not get national coverage for weeks, as I recall.
The significance is how the MSM is handling the situation.
