Fox News report this afternoon said there were a lot of documents (as if to say they had not had time to analyze everything yet). They highlighted the point that a cop wanted Zimmerman charged with manslaughter because he hadn't stayed in his car.

From what I understand, he was out of his car when he first saw Trayvon, and after being told they didn't need him to keep following Trayvon, he was on his way back to the car when Trayvon jumped him.

So how does that make him guilty of not staying in his car?

Some of the witnesses confirmed that it was Zimmerman calling for help. One woman thought that the guy on top was the heavier man. That doesn't fit what we know of Trayvon and Zimmerman's relative sizes, but it was dark and she may have been questioned some time afterwards. Anyway I think it is common for eyewitnesses to have conflicting memories of what they saw.

Fox seemed to want to support the special prosecutor as much as they could. Later Bill O'Reilly was talking about what a great guy Crump is (the Martins' lawyer).

Yes, they will have to prove from Zimmerman’s statement that he was looking for a fight - stalking Martin so that Martin felt threatened and attacked him in self defense.

From what I know, Zimmerman was trying to see where Martin was going so he could tell the dispatcher -he was not trying to challenge Martin. He was a attacked after he told the dispatcher that he had lost sight of Martin as he was returning to his car. If he had done what the cop in that report suggested and had spoken to Martin, then they would blame him for “fighting words” or some stupid excuse.

Fox news jumped on the bandwagon along with the Republican that commented in support of the witch hunt in it’s early stages. At that point they did not know enough to say anything at all. They became a part of the lynch mob by joining the klan with the tan. The have the blood of innocent whites who have been attacked by jacked up black racist mobs, on their hands. I will have to say Bill O has reported on and denouced one of the hate crimes that happened in Va. to a couple of white reporters. They have ignored all the other black on white hate cases.

If this prosecutor has no evidence supporting second degree murder charges - she pulled a Nifong and must be sued an prosecuted like he was.
