I don't know but many people noted this and Zimmerman was not given drug or alcohol tests that night, apparently.
I'm certainly looking forward to hearing his voice.

Neighborhood Watch IS a volunteer position, you are not "chosen", nor paid, nor do you relinquish any rights as a normal civilian and resident. I do not own a gun, nor would I ever, in fact, I made my husband give up his gun!!!I'm not trying to be confrontational in saying this, but I've called the police non-emergency number for weird stuff around the neighborhood before, and I'm not even aware of a NWP around here.
I think it's hard to un-blur the line between when he can say he was or wasn't acting in that capacity, as it's really supposed to be an "anytime" kind of thing... But it also makes me wonder if when he volunteered to do this, if it meant he had to be considered NWP from then on, and relinquished all rights as a normal civilian and resident of the neighborhood.
Even if he wasn't acting in any "official" capacity that night, he still could have called in what he believed to be a suspicious person lurking around the neighborhood.
And I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for my brash response earlier. I did not mean any offense with it; that's just one of a few things that keeps being repeated and won't really change any of the outcomes of that night. I don't think anyone disagrees that he violated several recommendations made by most NWPs.
Well mr Hornsby tried to enlighten us on some issues but was not well received.
In court or in a police station. Otherwise, it's just a good interview technique with a guest who is not very clear.
First thing that popped in my head: The Anthonys.
I want to clear up hearsay. Hearsay is admissible if it is used to impeach a witness. And the statement's of a party to a case, i.e., a defendant, are not hearsay because they are considered admissions by the party.
So here's how it would work:
Q: Sir, what did your brother tell you happened?
A: He said he was standing there and this kid came out of nowhere and jumped him.
Q: I want to show you a video that has been marked for i.d. purposes as Exhibit 333. Please watch.
Q: Now sir, that's not what you stated previously, correct? Isn't it true that you stated your brother ran after the victim?
In the above scenario (which isn't precisely how impeachment evidence would be utilized, but I've condensed it for space), the hearsay statements of the brother on the video come in as impeachment of the brother. The statement within his statement, what Zimmerman told him, is NOT hearsay because it is an admission by a party.
Anything he says can be used against him in a court of law so if I was his attorney, I would tell him to keep his mouth firmly shut.
Also, the girlfriend did not find out right away that he had been killed. From what I understand, once she did, she was overcome and had to be hospitalized. I would too realizing I heard the last moments of my boyfriend before he was murdered.
Neighborhood Watch doesn't patrol, at least I don't!
If it was justified for him to shoot, which it seems to me so far that it was, it wasn't a crime. It was self defense.
I don't think he did either. His lawyer said he thought his nose was broken.Bet he never saw a doctor!
Here's a new viewpoint of the crime scene from Google Earth looking towards the Southwest.
head on the sidewalk, head on the grass, wouldn't you shoot if you were getting beat up by someone who you thought was armed? I would.
I thought he made a lot of sense.

Trayvon Martin: City of Sanford says reporters won't be arrested
The city of Sanford tonight decided that reporters won't be arrested for pursuing the Trayvon Martin story after normal business hours.

BBMThe LE representative who TRAINS all neighborhood watch, and the one who went to the HOA meeting for this complex said they are NEVER to patrol. She has another program called Citizens on Patrol who are allowed to do that after much more intense training and vetting of those participating.
She also said that there is a clear and definite ban on carrying any type of weapon while participating in either of those programs.
This made me laugh. :floorlaugh:
