In reply to the discussion: Marcia Clark brought up a great point on Anderson Cooper [View all]Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)65. Yes. It's in the recording of the phone conversation tween GZ & the cop.
You didn't hear that recording?
It's that conversation where the cop tells GZ not to get out of his car. But earlier in the conversation, GZ is telling the cop where TM is or whatever, and the cop tells him to stay put, that the cops are on the way. Cop asks him for physical description of TM and what race. Near the end of that conversation GZ says that TM is walking toward him, holding something in his hand.
Witness today testified that s/he saw TM straddling GZ on the ground, pummeling him with both arms/hands, like a martial arts thing, is the way the witness put it. While he heard screams of "help me." Witness yells out to stop it.
Important witness. The only one to see the altercation, as far as I know.

So, can we imply you are defending Zimmerman and think he is not-guilty?

Neither can the DA, since he wasn't there either. Not guilty then, right?

He was interested in shooting one of "these people" because they always get away.

I agree with you to the extent that the gun was part of Zimmerman's thinking.

I believe that Zimmy wanted to kill a punk. Maybe not specifically Martin, but I believe people

SYG was mentioned at first but was not followed through. I think it did not apply to this case.

Well I think it's ridiculous to think a person gets into situations because he can win by killing.

I thought Marcia Clark was getting in a fight that she couldn't lose when she was prosecuting OJ.

I don't think Trayvon had enough time to go back to Miami to get it.

I wasn't aware of the fact that Zimmerman admitted that he had confronted Martin.

Again, even if for some reason Zimmerman's stalking didn't show him that,

TM confronted GZ. Not the other way around. GZ didn't know what TM was carrying
