The witness saw NOTHING.

Let's say Trayvon was on top because Zimmerman approached him, pulled his gun and Trayvon was scared and fought back. Self defense on Trayvon's part right? The witness did not see what provoked the whole situation so again that witness is nothing. The cops did nothing. This whole thing is a f*****g joke from the time the first 911 call was made to when the cops arrived and did nothing and now.
You weren't there. You've re-created the scene in your mind to suit your own perspective of events. That doesn't make it factual.

Just stop. Seriously. Admit that you don't know what happened and leave it at that.

Every other perspective is pure speculation by people who did not see the action. I believe in the end it will be the Defenders of Trayvon who have egg on their collective faces.
I do too but they won't care. They have their own version of facts and nothing will disabuse them of it.

An eyewitness who saw it all has emerged. What you understand and/or don't understand is 100% irrelevant. Pushing forth your "understanding" of events does nothing to help the case, and on the macro it creates an environment whereas George Zimmerman is declared guilty in the Court of Public Opinion. George Zimmerman deserves due process and due diligence. Now that there's an eyewitness, it seems he will get his due.

It's time to come down off the stage and let the system work it out. An eyewitness will be hard to overcome. Let's put an end to the speculation.
Hahahaha........you have been doing the exact thing and thanks to the police and their incompetence it's all speculation. I did mention I DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE in this. Did you even bother to read that part?

As for the witness he did not see everything. He arrived once Zimmerman was already on the ground right? Did he see the initial confrontation? What about when he went upstairs to call 911 and MISSED THE ACTUAL SHOOTING? How about that part? How did Zimmerman pull his gun? What happened from the time he saw Zimmerman on the ground "getting beaten up" (again no pictures to prove that).

The witness is a partial witness because he missed the most crucial parts. The actual shooting and what provoked the situation in the first place. Again I DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF THIS HORSES**T because it's all garbage.

It has to do with race. Someone posted a link about how viewers of HLN are demanding wall to wall Trayvon coverage.

Actually, I am going to do exactly that. If for anything, out of respect for the dead.

The problem I have with Zimmerman, well among others, is that the dispatcher for 911 told him not to pursue, and he made the decision to ignore him. Hiw can you argue self defense when you ran after the kid?

It doesn't matter how it started, all that matter is HOW it ENDED and WHY!

You weren't there. You haven't talked to the eyewitness. You are not a trained criminal investigator. Therefore, you're not qualified to make these statements. What's so hard to understand about that?

I am not speculating genius I am asking the questions that could have been known with either an investigation or an eye witness who saw everything. A lot was missed and nothing was thoroughly investigated so everything is speculation except for two things. 1) Trayvon was on top and 2) Trayvon is dead. That's about all the eye witness can say. Other than that there are no "facts".

I am not speculating I am asking the questions that need to be answered and could have if the police actually did their jobs.

Apparently Zimmerman was beaten up, had a broken nose and lacerations. Where are the police photos that are taken as evidence? That would have been nice. Any kind of forensic evidence would be nice. Gun Shot residue on Trayvon, Trayvon's blood on Zimmerman's clothes (if he was on top of him you would think there was blood on his clothes right?)

What about the recording that the Girlfriend has? Who records their phone calls with people on their cell phones? Maybe it was after he said someone was following him but haven't heard them yet so who knows. It won't matter anyways if this never going to trial.

911 recordings. Hard to tell who is crying for help they say but if it's the kid it could make sense since the crying stops after the shot. If the adult he does a pretty good job of yelling for help while getting his "face beaten in" as some people like to say. Why not saying something like....I don't know...."I HAVE A GUN."?

The cops screwed the pooch on this because from the beginning it reeks of a cover up being that they did nothing to even attempt to do a thorough investigation. That's my main problem. Do your f*****g job but especially do your f*****g job when someone has been shot regardless of why the shooter says.
This. If anything, I think we can all agree that the cops did not do their job properly.
