For no eyewitnesses, there seems to be an awful lot of folks who think they KNOW what really happened.
we know a lot.
we know zimmerman had quite the history of violence, aggression, losing his temper, etc.
zimmerman hung up with dispatchers at 7:14 pm. he was in his truck at the time.
martin's phone call with his girlfriend was dropped at 7:16 pm, several hundred yards from zimmerman's truck.
cops showed up at 7:17 pm to find martin dead, face down in the grass, his hands under his body.
the eyewitnesses who saw what happened immediately after the gunshot saw zimmerman straddling martin's body, getting up, walking over to the sidewalk, and looking worried but not injured. this does not correspond with zimmerman's account.
we know that 34 minutes later, zimmerman was at the police station, moving fluidly and alertly, not showing any injuries or even signs of discomfort in the least. not a grimace or a wince at all.
we know that the guy whose job it is to sniff out bullshit, the guy who interviewed zimmerman right after, wanted to pursue manslaughter charges because he said zimmerman's story did not add up.
we know that the prosecutor, wolfinger, left his house late on a sunday night to meet in person with the police and told them to "cut him loose".
we know that after a more thorough examination of the facts has lead to pursuing murder in the second, not manslaughter.
these are all things we know, and they paint a very bad picture of events.
