Well, one ‘advantage’ is to make it appear that the confrontation was against an equal ... not a child. As the judge pointed out, the only youth was Martin.
And yes, Zimmerman’s opinions may change over time ... his stories have.
If Zimmerman still thinks he’s 20 or 22, he needs a reality check. He’s closer to 30 or 32.
Do you really believe the can was used as a weapon? It would have been dented at the very least or, more likely, it would have burst open. BTW, none of Zimmerman’s blood/DNA was found on Martin.
Haasaaaa. In his statement he accurately identified TM as being between 5'11" and 6"2" -- much bigger than the 5'7.5" slow and obese person that he knew himself to be. And after running about 100 feet, he was nearly out of breath.
Anyone with half a brain would have put their money on TM in any kind of fight or race.
not a child
Haaaaaa. At 17 and a fight club veteran who had been suspended from school for mj possession, possible theft, and punching a bus driver, the hoodie in that 7-Eleven video was hardly a "child".
As the judge pointed out, the only youth was Martin.
A 17 y/o teenager who had been kicked out of school and and a possible jv record, a known mj user that his parents couldn't control, and staying with a juvenile detention officer who didn't want him in her house unsupervised.
And yes, Zimmerman’s opinions may change over time ... his stories have.
His story lines up with the forensic evidence, the medical reports, and the witnesses. Since those things haven't changed, then how can you say that his story has????
If Zimmerman still thinks he’s 20 or 22, he needs a reality check. He’s closer to 30 or 32.
I think he has been getting his reality check since that night.

Look at the one gash on the back of his head. You can fit the upper edge of the can right into it. It's hard to imagine that happening from the sidewalk.
It would have been dented at the very least or, more likely, it would have burst open.
Not if you hit with that upper edge which is hard and sharp and can create a gash like on his head and his upper nose. Remember GZ said he thought TM had something in his hand when being hit -- phone or can.
BTW, none of Zimmerman’s blood/DNA was found on Martin.
GZ's blood was on the sleeves of TM's hoodie. I don't think they tested his hands for either so why should find something that they didn't test for. You need to watch some better videos and stay off of you tube.
