There is no evidence that Zimmerman confronted or accosted Trayvon either though right? It is an assumption at this point. Do we know for a fact that Trayvon was not up to no good? Is it possible that he WAS acting suspicious and casing homes or cars? Do we know for certain that he wasn't trying to rob or car jack Zimmerman? My point is we dont KNOW any of that with enough certainty to pass judgement. Why havent the recordings the girlfriend supposedly had been made public I wonder?
I don't think the g/f recorded her calls (unlike the 911 tapes that Zimmerman made) so I think it's only her word regarding what was said.
Trayvon had a point of origin and a point of destination; there's no basis or history to assume he was up to "no good".
There is evidence that Zimmerman was confronting Trayvon based on his 911 calls. Clearly he assumed Trayvon was up to no good and he was following him; we know that much.
Post #65 "The girl provided a recording to Crump which he will share with authorities, he said."
Zimmerman states on the 911 call that "This guy looks like he’s up to no good or he’s on drugs or something". We weren't there to see how he was acting but something in his demeanor apparently was a red flag to Zimmerman. Good chance that Zimmerman was overzealous and a little paranoid but again, we don't know that Trayvon was NOT doing something to attract suspicion.
Where on the 911 call is there evidence that Zimmerman ever actually confronts or speaks to Trayvon? He is doing non-contact surveillance and calling authorities as he was trained to do. The boy moves towards him a couple of times then runs off. At the end of the call, the boy is gone and Zimmerman is waiting near the mailboxes where his truck is parked for the police to get there. Unless I missed something, nothing is said about Zimmerman saying anything to the boy or even continuing to follow him after he was told he "didn't need to".
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE and I have not seen this in any official report or news story but I did see some comments on one article - someone that claims to know George and the "real story" said that George was hit in the back of the head with the Arizona tea bottle as he was walking to his truck and that is why his head was bleeding. Obviously this could be made up to make Zimmerman look good but so could the stories about Trayon being a model kid.
