His story is CLEARLY bullshit. Read the court transcripts.

Yet all of the evidence and every key witness says otherwise. What part of the court transcript are you focusing on? You're apparently ignoring a large part of it, makes me curious to know what jumped out at you.

Except the lead detective in the case, the prosecution's witness, said himself that he didn't think Zimmerman was being deceptive?

"In his report, Serino, who interviewed Zimmerman in the days following the shooting, wrote that in following Martin, Zimmerman's actions were "inconsistent with those of a person who has stated he was in fear of another subject." He wrote that Zimmerman had at least two opportunities to speak to the teen and "defuse the situation." He also noted that Zimmerman "failed to identify himself" as a concerned citizen or neighborhood watch member on two occasions that night.

According to the report, Serino recommended that Zimmerman be charged with manslaughter on March 13."

Serino also said that he believed Zimmerman was greatly exaggerating his injuries, and that they didn't appear to indicate a "life-or-death" scenario, especially since Trayvon didn't have a deadly weapon.

An ex-detective isn't a lie-detector test. Sometimes they get it. A lot of the times they miss liars and make mistakes. His personal opinion does not matter. The only reason it wasn't objected to and sustained was because Serino answered too quickly for the prosecution to effectively object. Otherwise, we wouldn't even have that piece of pseudo-evidence.

Remember when the judge ordered the jury to strike Serino saying, "I don't believe he was lying," from consideration? The freaking judge said that it was an inappropriate statement. Good lord, people~

/rolleyes

Cross-examination destroyed this testimony, as they've done with all of the prosecution testimonies, and have ended up benefitting Zimmermans case more than hurting it.

When asked, Serino said he thought the inconsistencies were insignificant, and the motion to strike Serino's statement regarding Zimmerman's truthfulness was made 17 hours later.

Stop cherry-picking. Zimmerman is going to walk and rightly so. We haven't even seen the multitude of witnesses the defense is going to call yet.

I believe that Zimmerman was defending himself. I have done research on both sides, and as it squares up it just feels to me like Zimmerman did what he had to do to survive. I think martin was a little shithead, who thought he was some tough shit or something, and George did what he had to do to live. It also seems like Martin's mother is doing everything in her power to make money from the case, and squander Zimmerman's reputation by playing the role of distressed mother of an innocent child.
