Yes, if George Zimmerman murdered Trayvon Martin, he would have an incentive to lie. The facts are, though, that nothing in the physical evidence contradicts his statements.
What I find particularly telling is his unsolicited statement to the police, shortly after their arrival: I called for help, but nobody came.
This is collaborated by the tapes. The Martin partisans have been saying that it was Martin calling for help. It would take a sociopath genius to come up with the idea of saying that he was calling for help when it was the other guy.
People are innocent in this country until proved guilty. I do not see any proof that contradicts George Zimmermans statements.
I suspect that Trayvon Martin saw George Zimmerman following him, and was scared. But, instead of getting away, he saw a chance to attack someone he saw as a threat, and took it.
It'd be very instructive to see a transcript of those interviews. Along with the investigation teams interview with Zimmerman at the PD station.
At least, it'd be a lot more instructive than rehashing the fire-hose stream of flame-war crap coming from most news media outlets.
No, not a genius; just a sociopath. The bad guys generally do that for the crowd to generate, or maintain some fog and cover. Zimmerman had a gun and was already to use it on the person he already indicated to the police he thought was armed and referred to as a "f'n coon".
Hell of a thing, ain't it? We know people heard him calling for help and I could hear at least one adult male voice in the background of a 911 call. There had to be more and not one person answered those cries for help. America ain't what it used to be.
