Well, Zimmerman was not bright in how he handled his interraction with police. That much is true. But there is a thing called “being in shock” which could interfere with one’s normal ability to reason.
Plus, Zimmerman felt he did nothing wrong at all. He called the police who were on their way. He was heading back to his vehicle and was sucker punched.
People speak freely to LE when they don’t believe they have anything to hide or not in any legal jeopardy. His cooperation resulted in him not being charged with any crime.... until the Jesse & Al show came to town.
Now we have this show trial.
