IF Z was assaulted as he says, then you are right, and WHERE it happened is irrelevant, and I do believe, fervently, that he was assaulted as he says. BUT, if he was near his vehicle, that gives TREMENDOUS SUPPORT to his story, and helps him tremendously. Remember, neither you nor I are on the jury, unfortunately.
Well, I can agree with what you’ve said.
I do not think his story needs help personally, I think its airtight, but if he was by his car that may help him in the eyes of the jury.
I wish I was on this jury. I would carefully consider the evidence, because that would be my duty, but of all the things I’ve seen so far since this happened, I cannot find him guilty of anything.
I just heard on the ABC news break someone said, and I do not know who this was, all this could have been avoided if Zimmerman had stayed in his car...
There is no law or requirement that someone stay in their car for any reason, ever, except perhaps if one is driving one’s car through the automatic car wash.
As far as I can see, all this could have been avoided if Martin’s father had raised his son better, or better yet, if he never had a son.
There was a video of the recreation of GZ with the police officers that is a good walk-through.. and you can physically see where the vehicle was and how far (trying to re-image it in my head, I would say less than 50 feet..)..
