@KeithOlbermann @Mets86girl And then show them the longer version. That would be a LOT of doctoring.

(7,776 posts)Is there anything in FL law that prohibits non-consensual audio recordings... even by law enforcement?

(65,616 posts)Much as some would want it to be, it is not! I see lights shining off his shaved head! Where is the RED and BLACK and GREEN I should be seeing from a man that had his head slammed into the sidewalk? Where are the grass stains!?!?!

(27,677 posts)You see, there was so much blood they didn't want to muss up their police car so they had his clothes washed.
Rex
(65,616 posts)It seems that Team Zimm and the local PD are grasping at straws. No wonder they wanted to bury the kid and this case ASAP. Thankfully, they are not going to get away with it!

(129,068 posts)Interesting other footage - most notably the alterate "against the wall" view which actually shows his leg position when he guided to and was resting against the wall.

(6,960 posts)Very interesting.
In this version there are a couple of profile type shots of Zimmerman's head --- there is clearly nothing wrong with his nose.
You also get more views of his entire body ... no evident blood anywhere, or even areas of mud or dirt.
I don't think this guy was was ever on the ground.

(61,634 posts)And he claims that he shot Trayvon while Trayvon was on top of him. Where's all Trayvon's blood that should be all over the front of Zimmerman?

(65,616 posts)Zimm looks crisp and clean to me...but the image is GRAINY so I must be wrong.

(6,086 posts)of him, HE SHOULD HAVE SPLATTER AND BE COVERED with LARGE areas of Blood. THERE;S NOT EVEN STAINS!
yardwork
(61,634 posts)It's a very good point. The video proves that all kinds of things Zimmerman and his defenders said are lies, lies, lies.

(6,086 posts)and placed in evidence bags. This didn't happen.

(12,022 posts)Trust me, papa Zimmerman is going to come up with a story as stupid as that.
lib_wit_it
(2,222 posts)a person under "temporary detention" (or whatever his guest status was) to be allowed to change clothing before being taken to the station, then how are Zimmy apologists explaining his nearly pristine appearance? Clearly, there should be some obvious signs of struggle and shooting--blood, dirt, grass stains, etc.
ohheckyeah
(9,314 posts)something to the cop and the cop pulled Zimmerman's shirt down in the front. I guess Zimmerman wanted to look good for the cameras.

(28,347 posts)he looks neat & tidy. Their story makes no sense to me.
Kingofalldems
(38,458 posts)Even if I could the cops took his clothes anyway. He showered and changed on the way in.
MagickMuffin
(15,943 posts)That would make a 35 minutes between arriving at the scene and being processed.
I would be interested in what discussions took place in route to the PD HQ's. I bet there is / was an audio tape in the partol car. However, I bet it isn't in existence anymore.
Who do you think released this tape?
Is there anyway to find out?
