playback because it was so hard to hear. Powerful. Chris Serino is a no bull shit kind of guy. He asks what everyone else is thinking.

I'm guessing that they ended up not finding any video on Martin's cell phone?

" had told this child that you were Neighborhood Watch and you were just wondering what the hell he was doing when he came up to your car? You probably wouldn’t be here right now."

Detective Serino brought up an interesting point that, for me, brings up an interesting question. If Trayvon Martin really confronted George Zimmerman and said, "You got a problem homey?" why didn't Zimmerman say, "No, I am a neighbor watchman and I was just wondering what you were doing."

Why would Zimmerman follow someone for a number of minutes only to just give up the search. In addition, upon finding the person he was looking for why did he not identify himself?

remorse, nothing. He is not right. He didn't respond to kid had no violent tendencies. Zimpig is a cold blooded murderer. I read the whole thing. I find him very hard to believe. Poor Trayvon, died for nothing. Modern day lynching. Period.

originally, Zimmerman claimed not to be afraid and it was only after the cop told him it'd be better for him had he been afraid, that he claims fear. The entire interview, Serino is feeding him information to help "clear" him and Zimmerman takes the bait every time.

I'm getting ready to listen now. I can't imagine his memory of events is so bad though. Unless the trauma of the incident was so horrible that he's blocking it, he's lying through his teeth. I was mugged at gun point about 6 years ago and I have total recall of the event to this day.
