Prosecution Witness Admits Media's Young Trayvon Photos Deceived Her
breitbart.com ^ | June 26, 2013 | Ben Shapiro

In the George Zimmerman trial on Wednesday, witness Jeannee Manalo testified that she heard “howling” sounds in her living room. Later, she said, she heard cries for help and a struggle, presumably between Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin. She saw two people on the ground, she explained, but didn’t know who was on top. She then testified that she thought based on body size that Zimmerman was on top.

On cross-examination, however, she revealed that she based her estimate of body size on media photos which showed Martin as a 12-year-old. In reality, Martin was 17 years old, and in the incident report was listed as 6 feet tall and 160 lbs., as opposed to Zimmerman, who was listed at 5’9”. Manalo admitted that she didn’t know “who’s bigger now.”

Tonight on NBC National News, they showed the same photos of Trayvon Martin as a twelve year old little kid.

Ministry of Propaganda bump.

Doesn’t matter. CNN says he’s guilty. What do we need a trial for?

On Friday CNN ran a scroll that was the exact opposite of the actual testimony...

Third News Network Admits to False Reporting on George Zimmerman

The first was NBC, which admitted doctoring a 911 tape. This is not an accident that takes place in the hustle and bustle of putting together a newscast.

Then all of a sudden ABC decides that they're gonna enhance the video, and they say that they strip a layer away -- this is police video, by the way, now -- and that all of a sudden, lo and behold, there is evidence of injury on the back of George Zimmerman's head.

Now it is CNN saying that after enhancing the audio of Zimmerman's 911 call, they don't think he used a racial slur after all.

The Lynch Mob Media achieved its purpose. It whipped up a frenzy of racial hatred to promote its leftist agenda. Now they're doing a few "oops" corrections to try and save some credibility with the gullible. Only a fool would buy anything they peddle after this.

People like that should be sued for misrepresenting a situation.

A whole lot of people have based their feelings about this case on the 12 year old pictures of Trayvon. I know a few of those people. Low information folks.

Get ready for the riots.

Ideal conditions for a riot.
Long hot summer.
High unemployment.
A disputed trial tinged with charges of racism.
The media deliberately stirring the pot. (maybe to distract from Obama).

Trayvon smoked pot at least four hours earlier according to the autopsy plus pot was in his blood gases which means he smoked it two weeks to a month before too. so it sounds like he was a regular user. Wonder how he paid for it since he couldn’t even stay in school much less have a job? Robbing houses, maybe?

It’s our own Dreyfuss trial. The first one rocked France circa 1890. With any luck, the Zimmerman trial will rock this country and cause a major re-think about who the racists are, and what should be done about the race problem.

Selling it is my understanding. I believe they have text and other messages suggesting he sold it. People frequently do that at the lowest 'retail' level in the black market to support their own use at no cost.

Don't forget it's an ALL female jury. They'll buy into the 'George followed Trayvon because he's a racist', when in actuality he followed Trayvon in order to give his location to the authorities.

Trayvon should've gone about his business and headed home, but instead he decided to confront and beat upon George solely because he thought he was a 'creepy ass cracker'. EVIDENCE shows that it was Trayvon who reacted for racial reasons. EVIDENCE shows that Trayvon referred to George as a "NI**ER" while on the phone with Rachel Jeantel. She said so herself during court testimony. The media refuses to acknowledge or repeat this.

Of course the biggest irony of all is that George is Hispanic!
