> What I don’t understand is why are they giving so much credence to the girlfriend’s conversation.
Well, she’d be expected to slant things in Martin’s favor, and possibly even make things up. It’s not implausible to think that at one point, though, Martin would ask, “What are you following me for?” and Zimmerman ask, “What are you doing here?” That doesn’t justify an attack, though.
A couple of things in the article don’t sound likely to be true. “She strongly urged him [Martin] to run, but she could tell he did not because he was out of breath and tired...” I doubt that the teenager Martin was more tired than Zimmerman, who sounded winded on the police call after a few seconds of trying to keep Martin in sight. Also I doubt very much that it was Martin who said, “Get off, get off.” It was Zimmerman who had injuries to the back of his head.
So is Corey going to bring in this “witness” who didn’t see anything, along with the girlfriend and Trayvon’s mother, and have them testify, then tell the jurors to believe them and ignore what the other witnesses say? Is that part of her strategy? It might work if they have all liberals on the jury.
She (Dee Dee) also said she heard the grass. She heard the grass twice.
One other thing though. Dee Dee talks about the earphones, presumably a bluetooth, falling off TM. The police state that they were recovered from his hoodie pocket along with the skittles, pin(button)and lighter. Oh, when George was talking to the dispatcher he said TM looked like there was a button on his hoodie.
