Officers patrolling the neighborhood where Zimmerman lives three weeks ago heard the sound of glass shattering, and then saw the former girlfriend drive out of the driveway. They pulled her over for a traffic stop a few streets over because she didn’t have her lights on.

So now provide me with proof that she lied.

Roflol...

Where were those cops camped out at to hear the ‘sound of shattering glass’ insude a house.

heck, even outside the house.

Are they staking Zimmerman out..?

Remind me - who bears the onus of proof in the American legal system?

But I'll play.

She recanted rather than repeat her statements in court. There's your proof that her statements were baseless.

Now it's your turn: provide proof that she told the truth.

When you provide the proof try not to rely on the baseless accusations that she herself has recanted.

So now provide me with proof that she lied.

Nope, that's not the way it works.

The (presumably ex-) girlfriend has recanted. Therefore, she has admitted that she didn't tell the truth.

The burden of proof is ON YOU to prove otherwise.

"Hearing the sound of glass shattering" doesn't prove anything. It may have been an accident, or the ex-girlfriend may have broken something. Or, there might have been an unnamed third party at the scene.

Without testimony, you have nothing. And as agere has noted, the burden is on you for jumping to conclusions.
