what do you think happened in those moments before the gun went off which suddenly shut off the cries for help ? did zimmerman have the gun pointed at him ?
does zimmerman want us to believe that Trayvon was beating him and smashing his dead on the ground while Trayvon was screaming for help ?

(1,017 posts)since its Zimmerman that had grass on his back, a swollen nose, and cuts on the back of his head, it seems likely it was him. While all that was happening is probably when and why he was screaming.
Thats my impression for now, maybe that will change as the trial goes on.

(20,600 posts)You would think instead of screaming for help if he felt that need, he would instead grab his gun and use that. Oh wait, he did use his gun, didn't he. So that seems very strange indeed, that he would cry for help in those circumstances. It is hard to buy that.

mr_liberal
(1,017 posts)had a gun? Because he didn't pull it until after he was attacked. It was during the attack that he screamed, then pulled his gun as a last resort.

(20,600 posts)version of events? There was a lady who was in the neighborhood, who stated she thought it was Martin who screamed for help. Let's say she was correct, (she was there and heard the struggle) does that make a scenario of Zimmerman being guilty or what?
mr_liberal
(1,017 posts)that Trayvon had stopped the attack and Zimmerman wouldnt have had reason to shoot.
It was just that womans opinion though, I think based on her knowing that TM was shot and killed.
Remember, this is just the prosecutions witnesses, there will be defense witnesses that say the screaming was from Zimmerman too. I dont think we will ever know for sure which one it was.

Martin screamed for help, just long enough for weirdo/stalker to form legal pre-meditation. then weirdo/stalker's substitute dick ejaculated, eventually sending him to prison for years.
