17 yo Trayvon Martin Shot to Death by Neighborhood Watch Captain #21

[ThoughtFox]

Their lawyer speaking now. He said that police told Tracy Martin there were four reasons why they didn't arrest George Zimmerman:

1. He had a squeaky clean background
2. He was a student of criminal justice
3. He had a gun license
4. He was head of the Neighborhood Watch

They did a background check on Trayvon, but not George.

The Martin's just want to fight for simple justice!!

I do not understand why it isn't about GZ initiating the contact..calling LE and getting out of his truck ^i^

Because I don't think you can prove that GZ initiated the contact at this point. Prove as in, prove to a jury.

 

[Chris_Texas]

Maybe he didn't want his civli liberties violated?

And when it comes to civil liberties, Zimmerman is the champion! :floorlaugh:

If you have heard George Zimmerman Whine, Cry, or recite the 23 psalm, then I will alert the media, because you have heard more from him than his own Attorneys have....Never said GZ was whinning, but instead I was stating that if you are not willing to taketheblood test to prove that you are not under the influence then it is ridiculous to be surprised and upset if people speculate about you being under the influence....and my position hasn't changed on that.

It's a fact that he refused a blood test? Was he even offered a blood test?

Not that they're not going to arrest him in the future?

Benjamin glad that Corey did not pass the buck to the grand jury. They feel this was a victory for them.

Trayvon was unknown and unimportant to the Sanford Police Department.

Unforgivable.

 

[Adrienne37]

They believed from day #1 that there was enough evidence for Zimmerman to be arrested.

 

[saguaro]

I wouldn't believe much of anything "his" former legal "advisers" are running their mouths about.

 

[Adrienne37]

Not taking about a conviction. He will have his day in court. All they are asking for is a simple arrest so that all the evidence will be presented in a trial.

Good point.

They were worried that Angela Corey would pass the buck as Wolfinger did, but they think she is full, fair, and impartial and will make the decision herself.

Wait a minute. How did they know George had a squeaky clean background without doing a background check on him? That makes no sense whatsoever. :banghead::banghead:

 

[Concerned Papa]

I feel that I am hearing one of the very few attorneys that may be of the caliber of the late, great Johnny Cochran in stating a position in the most straightfoward manner our language allows.

 

[daisy7]

I think this is the first presser I've ever seen where there is a lot of clapping.

 

[Adrienne37]

Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton said it is America and that it is Zimmerman's right to do whatever he wants as far as his website.

 

[gxm]

Wait a minute. How did they know George had a squeaky clean background without doing a background check on him? That makes no sense whatsoever. :banghead::banghead:

Maybe because GZ had a gun license and the requirements for one are a clean record? Just guessing here.

JMO, OMO, and :moo:

 

[Adrienne37]

Discussing press conference yesterday. Sybrina and Tracy said that his attorneys do not know where he is and that is there concern is that he is a flight risk.

I agree. Which then asks the question, have we ever heard the true story from GZ in this case?
