In reply to the discussion: Medical Examiner says he has proof Trayvon was not the aggressor, told to shut up about it [View all]TorchTheWitch
(11,065 posts)211. Zimmerman claimed he stopped pursuing
once he finally admitted that he WAS pursuing, when the dispatcher asked if he was pursuing and was told not to do that. He claimed he stopped pursuing at that point and started walking back toward his car and that Martin suddenly sprang out of bushes and assaulted him... oh wait, he didn't spring out of bushes since there were no bushes there, so he then claimed that Martin just mysteriously appeared before him and assaulted him after a brief exchange of bad B movie lines were uttered.
