Police: Zimmerman story is 'consistent' with evidence in Trayvon Martin shooting

Fox News ^ | March 27, 2012

[JustSayNoToNannies]

SANFORD, Florida – A slain U.S. teenager and the neighborhood watch captain who shot and killed him exchanged words before the teen punched him in the nose and began banging the man's head on the ground, according to the watch captain's account of the confrontation that led to the shooting. [...]

A statement from Sanford, Florida police said the newspaper story was "consistent" with evidence turned over to prosecutors. [...]

This family was all caught up in the thug life.

Rooivalk,

I love you, man. I mean that.

I don't support Zimmerman just because Trayvon was black. Heck, I don't support Zimmerman at all. I only support the way the laws work, and those say he can't be arrested. In my opinion he was nearly a tactical failure as a concealed carrier. He lost situational awareness and was nearly taken out.

I don't hate Trayvon because he was black. I served side by side in the Army with all kinds of people. We'd have taken a bullet for one another. I served as a DC police officer. I had a black partner. We'd have taken a bullet for one another.

If you think this about race, think again. Nobody gives a CRAP what color skin Trayvon had, except the liberal race baiters. What we're talking about here on FR is that he was a wannabe gangsta thug.

Guess what? I know white wannabe gangsta thugs.

Can't stand them, either.

You're being played by the race hustlers to believe we whites are out to get blacks. I suggest you remove your head from your fourth point of contact, step back, take a deep breath, and realize that what we are doing here is defending the rule of law over emotional pitchfork mob mania.

So Trayvon Martin’s father hung out with “gangsta” rappers...?

[cynwoody]

The problem is now the pot is stirred and like I posted in another thread if Zimmerman isn't found guilty the aftermath is gonna make the Rodney King incident look like a playground scuffle by comparison.

All the more reason not to convict (or even charge) him.

[Fred Nerks]

Same person?

[Brown Deer]

ABC News, which obtained the video and released it Wednesday night, said it shows “no blood or bruises” on the handcuffed, trim- and muscular-looking suspect as he steps out of the back of a police cruiser, is frisked by an officer and walks escorted into the police building.

MSNBC says different!

[Locomotive Breath]

Ya mean like this?

[Netizen]

That's Martin. Here's another, same room

Tray's My Space

Bottom row, second pic is the pic they used for the memorial.

[Brown Deer]

[Brown Deer]

This BS picture you post is not Martin.

Not him? Why does it match the one on his My Space page?

[Brown Deer]

Nor is there any blood on the back of his head as he first claimed.

From the police videos:

[Rooivalk]

Total BS. What’s your point?

[Rooivalk]

And from the police videos there is no visual evidence of this "broken nose" Zimmerman and his supporters are claiming.

Meanwhile a couple of questions still remain unanswered:

Why haven't the medical reports concerning the so called treatment Zimmerman received on the night of the killing been made public?

And why have the autopsy reports on Martin been sealed?

Highly irregular on both accounts

[Rooivalk]

Whatever the provocation Zimmerman suffered at the hands of Martin one thing remains clear. Zimmerman responded to a physical altercation of fists and blows with DEADLY FORCE.

And any jury in the world will convict Zimmerman for use of a firearm to settle a fist fight.

[samtheman]

Head being slammed against the pavement is not a fist fight. That’s gone way beyond a fist fight.

That’s a life-threatening situation and who the f* are you to tell me or Zimmerman or anybody what the limits are to self-defense in a life-threatening situation?

Now, maybe Zimmerman is lying. I don’t know. I wasn’t there. Neither were you.

But one thing I do know is this: if Zimmerman is telling the truth, if it went down the way he said it did, then yes in f*ing deed he had every f*ing right in the world to use that gun.

I would have.

And so would you have.

And one more thing we know for sure: the police weren’t there but they are a f* of a lot closer to the action than you and me and they talked to eye witnesses and they didn’t arrest the HISPANIC.

What, are you saying that Florida police are partial to HISPANICs? That they never arrest HISPANICs?

Get a life, a-hole. You’re very, very wrong on this one.

[Rooivalk]

All your name calling is not going to save Zimmerman as now forensic voice analysis is showing that the screaming heard on the tape is NOT Zimmerman.

Slowly but surely the truth is coming out.

The Orlando Sentinel got in touch with court-authorized biometric voice analyst, Tom Owen, to analyze the 911 tapes where either Zimmerman or Martin can be heard crying for help. (One unnamed witness has said it was Zimmerman crying for help.) His conclusion: It's not Zimmerman. After the Sentinel contacted Owen, he used software called Easy Voice Biometrics to compare Zimmerman's voice to the 911 call screams.

"I took all of the screams and put those together, and cut out everything else," Owen says. The software compared that audio to Zimmerman's voice. It returned a 48 percent match. Owen said to reach a positive match with audio of this quality, he'd expect higher than 90 percent. "As a result of that, you can say with reasonable scientific certainty that it's not Zimmerman," Owen says, stressing that he cannot confirm the voice as Trayvon's, because he didn't have a sample of the teen's voice to compare. Forensic voice identification is not a new or novel concept; in fact, a recent U.S. Department of Justicecommittee report notes that federal interest in the technology "has a history of nearly 70 years."

[Rooivalk]

Head being slammed against the pavement is not a fist fight. That’s gone way beyond a fist fight.

And losing a physical altercation does not justify the use of deadly force as Zimmerman used on his unarmed victim.

Any fool will tell you that

[Darryl Lecht]

Attack someone and you just might get shot. It should be clear now for those who have bad intentions.

[Rooivalk]

And one more thing we know for sure: the police weren’t there but they are a f* of a lot closer to the action than you and me and they talked to eye witnesses and they didn’t arrest the HISPANIC.

For your information the police namely the lead homicide investigator recommended filing on Zimmerman a charge of manslaughter and reckless endangerment. The charges were quashed higher up in the DA's office. Now people are saying that this short stopping of charges have something to do with the fact that Zimmerman's daddy is a judge

So what do you say to that?

What, are you saying that Florida police are partial to HISPANICs? That they never arrest HISPANICs?

No what IS being said is that strings were pulled to let Zimmerman walk. Now the authorities are taking a CLOSER LOOK at how Zimmerman was able to walk free

I say its about time

[samtheman]

Life threatening is life threatening. Period.

Getting your head slammed against the pavement, repeatedly, with no hope or expectation of cessation of such slamming is life threatening. Period.

In this case pavement is a weapon; it can kill you.

You refuse to put yourself in that situation and refuse to see how dangerous that situation would be and you end up with such seriously flawed logic as you find yourself here.

But this has nothing to do with logic, does it?
Nothing to do with evidence, does it?
Nothing to do with witnesses, does it?

Only one thing that matters to you: the deceased is black and the shooter is “white” (or what you and the entire race-conscious left-wing establishment has suddenly redefined to be white).

That’s all that matters to you. Race, race, race, race, race.

I know one thing about me and I know it with certainty:

If the races in this story were reversed and the incidents were identical, I would be still be on the side of “let’s wait for the law to play out and not act as a lynch mob”.
