Witness: Zimmerman 'Never ... Tried To Help' Trayvon Martin
By NBC News, msnbc.com staff and news services
A woman who says she and her roommate witnessed the final moments of Trayvon Martin's life told Dateline NBC that George Zimmerman had "his hands pressed on his back" and "never turned him over or tried to help him."
Zimmerman's lawyer, when shown part of the interview being aired Sunday night on Dateline, emphasized that his client would be claiming self-defense.
"I think there were efforts made to render aid to Trayvon," Craig Sonner told NBC's TODAY show.
Mary Cutcher told Dateline that she and her roommate both saw Zimmerman "straddling the body, basically a foot on both sides of Trayvon's body, and his hands pressed on his back."
Cutcher added that Zimmerman told her and her roommate to call the police. "Zimmerman never turned him over or tried to help him or CPR or anything," Cutcher said.
Sonner also reiterated what he had said in recent days, that Zimmerman suffered a broken nose and a gash to the back of his head.
A friend of Zimmerman's who appeared on TODAY with Sonner added that Zimmerman, 28, was distraught over the teen's death.
"Right after the shooting he couldn't stop crying," said Joe Oliver, who is African American and a former TV reporetr and anchor in Orlando.
Zimmerman has not been charged in the Feb. 26 shooting that has ignited racial tensions and raised questions about the Sanford police's handling of the case. Martin was black, and Zimmerman's father is white and his mother is Hispanic.
In a separate interview Sunday, Oliver said that "I'm a black male and all that I know is that George has never given me any reason whatsoever to believe he has anything against people of color.''

Much of the info you poste and more is on these sites, not likely to get scrubbed, many photos and twitter stuff. Just for the record.

Was Trayvon Martin a Drug Dealer?
These two have been all over the place with their story. They didn’t see anything. It’s changed many times. They said it was Trayvon screaming for help and not Zimmerman
My question , was What law gives zimmerman the right to violate the kids civil right. Your post in 523 is made up by you. Since I never posted a word of that crap.
Isn’t your shift about over? You never did answer my question about how much you’re getting paid.
He knows no such right exists which protects a person from approach by strangers, nor of the act of observation by strangers. It’s been stated on this forum many times in the last few days.
Indeed. That’s why I’m not the only one that has inquired about how much he gets paid for his agitprop.
Isn’t a 911 call or police statement, *official*, and lying in either a felony? I thought that I read that here. Someone on one of the Zimmerman-Martin threads claimed it was. Just asking.
See What is Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' law? - Beth Karas (HLNtv). It's a simple description of the possible branches of the state case.
The burden and standard of review vary, depending on the stage of the proceeding.
Not saying you are incorrect, you aren't. Just figured you and/or others might be interested.
Stop making stupid statements.
If you cut the eye holes in your sheet a little bigger, maybe you will be able to determine who posted what, that is if you can read.
“Stop making stupid statements.”
LOL. You first, troll. You still haven’t answered the question about how much you’re being paid. Where’s a Viking Kitty when you need one....
Know this my friend, someday we will all stand before God, and at least with this specific issue, I know I will not hang my head in shame...

The fact remains that most, if not all of the crime wave in the neighborhood was being committed by Blacks and Zimmerman did nothing wrong. He was justified in talking to the young man, and the young man responded by beating Zimmerman’s face in.
People use concealed carry for the purpose of defending themselves. It is legal in Florida.
Heck, maybe Zimmerman was just following Obama’s advice, “if they bring a knife, we bring, gun.” Remember, the attacker was much bigger, stronger and quicker than Zimmerman and he was sitting on him, beating his face in.
Your second link, questioning if Martin delt drugs, says it’s no longer available. Much of this is going to get scrubbed I’m afraid. There are those who do not want anything said or seen of Martin other than what the media is attempting to protray him as.
On Martin’s 10 day suspension....no doubt something more serious than what’s being shown...in addition the fact they shipped him out afterwards does raise questions.

837.05 False reports to law enforcement authorities.
Both Misdemeanors.

Thanks for clearing that up. I’ll let the posters who claimed it was a felony, know, DM.
