George Zimmerman To Be Charged According To Florida Special Prosecutor Report

Yes… He should be tried under a court of law. That's all we have been asking for… Hopefully our system works out true justice on this guy.

It is about time and what about the police and all those who tried to sweep this under the rug and ignore proper procedures?

I think he should be tryed and convicted he killed a kid ffs! he didn't care that travon was screaming for help terrified at what was going to happen so I have no sympathy for gorge…I hope he rots in hell.

I guess Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are happy now. I agree the facts need to come out and if there is evidence of anything other than self defense then there needs to be a trial and justice served. My problem is that when a Non Black kills or injures a Black person it is automatically called racism and a Hate crime. I am so sick of hearing how Whites are so racist when almost half of the White voters in the United States voted for a Black President.

I agree arlene they should be held accountable as well….

I believe that the police will be next… in fact, I am sure there is already an investigation on them too. There is no way that Attorney Crump will not go after them and all else involved to try to cover this murder up. It is a shame that it took that boys life to shake this country up!

Shareese Dixon yes it is a shame thats what it took…hopefully this tragedy will wake people up to all of the racist crap going on in the world…what really gets me is that he was a kid who had just barely begun to live his life….

personally I don't care what color your skin is or where you come from so long as you respect me I will respect you…its that simple

ok not trying to cause an argument but obama is not full black he is part white as well….or so the news has said…and why does this have to go back to obama..thats what he wants this is just giving him publicity..and its wrong to use the death of an innocent to gain more votes

There needs to be a trial so that it can be proven or not….that is the law of the land…unfortunately, though, he may walk just like the other one in Florida…..

I agree with Ron Miller! I think that if they do find evidence that he did kill the kid in self defence that people should leave him the hell alone. He would'nt be missing if his life was'nt threatened! I think it is so sad for mr zimmermans family and friends who say he had black friends but because mr martin was black what…. he must be a racist give me a break.

Ron, Ron, Ron surely you are not trying to imply that there is not racism in our country? Voting for Obama has nothing to do with the murder of a kid that was racially profiled by a lunatic toting a pistol!!!

I hear ya, Ron. We don't even know clearly what the facts of the case are, but people have already judged and convicted him. It should go to trial, if just to find out the truth about what really happened. The politicization of the incident is unfortunate as it has blown the situation out of proportion. It's not about blacks versus whites, it's about a Hispanic watchman who shot an African-American teenaged boy. (There were no whites involved in the scenario.) Jesse Jackson + Al Sharpton are jokes. They always have knee-jerk reactions to anything involving African-Americans without even knowing the story first! I look to the real black heroes of the United States: Colin Powell, Martin Luther King, Jr., James Baldwin, Dizzy Gillespie, Zora Neale Hurston, Oprah Winfrey, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, George Washington Carver, Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, Booker T. Washington, Rosa Parks, Langston Hughes and hundreds more who achieved because they held a dream aloft in their minds and wouldn't let anything stand in their way!

"They said" so many things that has yet to come to light. Knowing Black people does not mean you are not a racist. He would not be hiding if he did not stalk, then kill this kid all because he thought him suspicious because he was Black! George is hiding because of the careless actions that he took after hunting this kid down and then killing him. I feel sorry for you, more evidence of the racism in this country!!!

Carrie Wynn I don't want to argue and I respect you're opinion just as I would hope you would respect mine. The only reason I mentioned Obama is because his campaign put out hoodies with Obama on them. I was just saying if the Whites in this Country are as racist as is always talked about then Obama would have never been elected. I think we are going to see facts come out about both Zimmerman and Martin that have been kept quiet. I think they need to find out the facts and what happened in this situation. I promise you we have not heard the facts that they already know. If I'm wrong in my opinion then I apologize, I was not making light of a kid getting killed, I just think this racism stuff is blown out of proportion is all.

When Zimmerman was talking to police on the phone and he said he was following Trayvon, the officer said, "don't do that, do not follow him" if Zimmerman had obeyed the officer, Trayvon would be alive! Zimmerman needs to be locked up!

Ron, I completely agree. I am so tired of everything automatically being about race when it comes down to blacks and whites. some people are just nut jobs. Racism does exist but I don't think it is near as prevalent as what some want to make it out to be.

Shareese Dixon 1 in 3 black males 18 to 35 are certified criminals. They will always be treated different than Asians, Whites, and even Latin men.

Shareese Dixon Hunting him down??? Whether or not this was self-defense or is found to be murder in whatever degree (I believe the charge to be 2nd degree) there was no "hunting down" like it was premeditated. (or at least no evidence of that has come out). It's comments like that that lead others to believe that the total issue here is the race card.

Ron Miller yes I do respect your opinion…we all have a right to those…every since this has happened all I hear about is obama this and obama that…what about trayvons family? why haven't we heard their outcry for justice? because obama is using this tragedy to gain more votes…its a tragedy that a man will use a death to get more power…if the people of this country isn't angry about that then there is diffenetly something wrong with this picture….

You weren't there…you don't know who was screaming for help or who was terrified. It's obvious the public doesn't know what happened yet. The story may SEEM obvious, but there are a lot of things yet to come out. If the young man was killed without justification, then let the courts decide just punishment.

ok dont know how this reposted twice…I apologize for that

Shareese Dixon and how exactly was he "racially profiled" other than answering the 911 operators question if he was African American…please….the man and his wife were mentors to two African Americans for years…proven fact…

Carrie Wynn Obama, "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon" I guess his white half hasn't gotten around to comment on any white people that have been murdered yet…

race shouldnt b an issue when it comes to this, arent all murders "hate crimes" in themselves……but if the guy followed this boy he cant really claim it was an accident and self defense, he was an unarmed "kid" how scared for his his own safety could a grown man really have been

Shareese Dixon I agree with that statement Shareese that just because you know black people doesnt mean your not racist….if it was truly self defense then why hide? if he went to the police that is tryin to cover this up and act like nothing happened they could give him protection but are they doing that? no they are not…I believe he killed trayvon because he wanted to…I mean really look at trayvon's pic and age and then look at gorge's pic and age…there is o way that I will ever believe that gorge was afraid for his life…he wanted to kill and he did…now bring him to justice!!!!

Lee Crawford you are right…and there was an eye witness saying it was Zimmerman on the ground screaming for help.

Shareese Dixon No Dear I am not that ignorant I hope. Sure there is racism from all races. I'm just saying it is not 100% of any race that is prejudice. I agree there is something wrong about this case and I agree justice needs to be served. I think a lot of stuff is gonna come out that has not been brought out yet. Shareese, hopefully the facts will come out now and everyone involved will be uncovered. I didn't intend to make light of a 17 yo kid being killed and if I did I'm sorry.

Obama went to hate whitey church for 20 years and dumb whites still voted for him!

Perhaps Ron, but that leaves the 50% that didn't vote for Obama in the potentially racists category! Lot of room for bigotry in that large a populous!

I just wish people would look past the skin color and all the racist comments and see this for what it is…a kid barely beginning his life was murdered in cold blood…he was shot in the back…thats not self defense that is straight up murder

Carrie Wynn Which pic would that be? The 12 year old shot the media has put out constantly? I don't know that there has been an accurate up to date photo of Martin. Not saying this is justifiable–I don't think it is but come on–be honest on all sides and get all facts. This was not a 12 year old kid such as the one the media (and family by offering that photo) are portraying.

the report was that when the 911 person said don't follow him we don't need you to do that, Zimmerman said 'OK". Then the 911 person wanted Zimmerson to tell her what the house number was where the person was located, so Zimmerman went around to the front of the house to get the house number, report it to the 911 person then was leaving to go back to his car when Trayvon approached him asking him "do you have a problem with me" Where Zimmerman replied "no" to which Trayvon said "well you do now" and punched zimmerman in the nose breaking it…followed by getting on top of him on the ground beating him…..Hopefully when all the facts come out in court (again) people will be open to hearing the whole story without jumping to judgement..

Mary Hall Staley no way in hell am I gonna believe that zimmerman was being harmed by a 17 year old boy on his way home from getting something from the store…come on Mary a kid was murdered….

look at it this way…if it was your 17 year old son coming home that got killed would you be screaming for justice or would you be saying that he was innocent? just asking…

look at it this way…if it was your 17 year old son coming home that got killed would you be screaming for justice or would you be saying that he was innocent? just asking…

Mary Hall Staley if that is true and I will be watching and waiting for the outcome of this then I will apologize but I dont believe that happened….I don't believe that someone would jump on another person if that other person is carrying a gun…its stupidity to do that…thats just asking to die…

Carrie Wynn it was a 6'3 kid and I do have a 17 year old son actually. and he knows better than to be the physical aggressor and suckerpunch someone, breaking his nose then getting him on the ground beating on him. Yeah, maybe he was a little freaked that some person was following him……then run home….don't turn around and throw the first punch…..and even if he did that….throw the first punch, break the guys nose then run away home….I am saying that kids today (as always) have a sense of being invincible. what he did was bad judgement. It is a big shame that it got him killed. No doubt. if you get punched when not expect it, get your nose broken you are dazed to wear the other person has the upper hand (common sense). He should have used that advantage to run away home, but he stayed to put a further beating on the man.

where not wear ^

Toni Moore Milbourne …maybe so toni but I can't stop thinking that a kid was murdered…it was a kid ffs…thats what keeps playing over and over in my mind…I have kids of my own…and I would be devastated if I lost one of mine to something like this….

Toni Moore Milbourne you are correct! I did not make that up, that part was recorded during the phone call that George made. He said that he did not know where the kid went and could be heard getting out of his car, running after the kid and ignoring the gentleman telling him that he did not need to follow the kid! Why can people not see it even when it is recorded and video taped??? Hmmmmmmm, a kid was stalked and killed and it is recorded and it is the race card…….. you are correct, it is your comments that keep the divide. It would not matter to me what color the kid, it you are wrong you are wrong….. beat it!!!

Bryan K. Harman you are also correct, Blacks (if it went your way) will "always be treated different", but not in this case!!! Zimmerman will be held accountable for his actions and that is per the state of Florida! Beat it!

ok I just want to know this…why is the white people being pointed out in this case? it wasnt a white man that pulled the trigger yet its white people that is being pointed out and called racist….

Carrie Wynn It's because they keep making comments as if this kids life was meaningless. Unfortunately, racism is what drives some people. The media fuels the fire and let's just face it, people have hatred in their hearts toward people simply because of their skin color – that's America for ya!

Mary Hall Staley tell me where it is stated that trayvon did this to zimmerman? and if he did do that why not fight back instead of killing the kid? I still don't see the "common sense" of jumping on a man that was armed…doesnt make sense…

Mary Hall Staley tell me where it is stated that trayvon did this to zimmerman? and if he did do that why not fight back instead of killing the kid? I still don't see the "common sense" of jumping on a man that was armed…doesnt make sense…

Shareese Dixon; yes there is racism in this country, and most of it comes from all the race cards being thrown. You have people like the so called reverend jessi jackson, wright, sharpton, and the race baiter farican (sp) just to name a few, who have nothing more to do but to stire up trouble. when was the last time they spoke up when a "WHITIE" got killed by a black? oh never! and who said he was racially profiled? maybe he was profiled for being a punk "GANGSTA". i get awfully tired of all the guilty untill proven inocent crap. it bothers me when any one gets gunned down but why does it make it worse because he was black? i dont care and it doesn't concern me that blacks were slaves here 200 and some years ago, my family didn't even come to this country untill the late 1800's so i wish i would quit being blamed for that. and i also get awfully tired of being labeled a racist every time i don't agree with the So called President, or some other person of the "NON WHITE PERSUADSION" (sp). i would stand up for any one being missed treated, but i won't just because he was black. why doesn't the law do something about the radical racist "BLACK PANTHERS" they are a bigger threat. if the KKK came out saying that we need to start shooting "THE BLACK DEVILS" down in the street the out cry would be deafening

my best friend's sister makes $77 hourly on the internet. She has been out of a job for eight months but last month her pay was $20778 just working on the internet for a few hours. Read more here …http://bit.ly/IndIH9

Mary Hall Staley since you know the physical stats on trayvon…pray tell what are the physical stats on zimmerman? and he also had a gun so that makes it a bit more over kill…no pun intended…

Shareese Dixon: maybe he's hiding because the Righteous "BLACK PANTHERS" and every other radical black in the country has put a hit out on him. Stop making ignorant arguments and judgements about some thing you know nothing about. or were you there?

Toni Moore Milbourne i agree, the media has for the most part put a slant to the case with the pics they've chosen to use in regards to the 2 involved. However, if you heard the 911 call, the unedited version, that is probably why they chose to use those pics. More (needless) drama….and for the one? who said it was Zimmerman yelling for help, the tapes have been analyzed as to which one was the one screaming. It was *supposedly* Trayvon- Plus, another point to ponder (that really did it for me) was to see the video of Zimmerman right after his claimed self defense killing taken into the station to be debriefed ….there was no marks, bruises, blood or broken nose to speak of. NONE- SO, he is lying out and out about Travon attacking him- All in all, black , white, asian…middle-eastern, hispanic…..there were too many conflicting reports to not have charged him and had this go to trial. The right thing is finally being done now….and lady justice will have a go at figuring out what really happened. Only thing is….after that other circus of a trial that happened not so long ago down in Florida, one never knows if true justice ever gets served the right way.

I don't want to fight or argue…I see it like this…a kid was murdered..a kid…there should be justice..thats all Im saying

Gilberto Rene Herrera You are right about that but that means there is 96% of Blacks that would fall into the same category. I'm not trying to argue or be unrespectful. I was just stating my opinion. As far as this kid getting killed I 100% think there needs to be an investigation and justice served period.

Lara Sasseen Ellis I really like your comment….if there was no evidence of abuse on zimmerman then what are people talking about him being beaten by trayvon? if I said it once I will say it a million times…A KID WAS MURDERED!!!…lets move past the skin color and look at what this really is…cold blooded murder

Shareese Dixon I don't belive any child's life is meaningless…there are way to many ignorant people in this world…a kid lost his life…I don't give a damn how tall he was…he was still a kid..its wrong on so many levels……and as far as the "black panthers" or any other hate group they are wrong as well…I think this case should be given to someone who isnt out to gain anything but justice for trayvon…and shareese Im not taking a go at ya Im just responding to the meaningless comment with how I feel about that….

Carrie Wynn Zimmerman is 5'7 and between 170-175….Trayvon has been reported by several newspapers (if you can believe them) as being between 140-170 pounds. I have no idea why he didn't fight back instead of pulling the gun. No one knows in that situation what goes through your head…unless maybe in the struggles the gun became known by Trayvon and Zimmerman grabbed it before Trayvon could….who knows…as as the other information…it comes from the lawyers interviews and the ambulance report stated the broken nose and lacerations to the front of the head. The coronor's report of Trayvon only shows the one bullet wound…no bruises, scratches or any other lacerations….again all reported by all the news agencies in an interview. (obviously I wasn't there and the only thing that any of us can go on is what evidence is reported). Just tired of people jumping to conclusions and only hearing the evidence that goes along with what they want to happen. Hopefully all will come out in the trial and everyone will really hear everything.

Any and everyone who is calling this a "racial" killing are just as guilty of the same "racism" that you are accusing of George Zimmerman. NOBODY knows the facts of this case yet. Even the special prosecutor stated that all of the facts from both sides need to be brought out….that is what a trial is for. Stop trying and convicting people based on your emotions instead of the evidence. Thank God our justice system determines guilt or innocence based on the factual evidence instead of pure emotion! And the media is just as guilty of convicting this guy before they know the facts as the rest of you are who are instantly calling this a "hate crime".

Mary Hall Staley ok I just want to say this to ya…white black Asian Bosnian Indian whatever race you are no murder should be justified just cause of the race…anyone who is murdered should have the justice they deserve….and if its the fact that the "white murder cases" not getting the same attention as this one then maybe you should let your voice ring out for the victims just as people are letting their voices be heard on this one….one voice added to a thousand more turns in to a roar of discontent…Im not taking a go at ya mary your entitled to your thoughts beliefs and opinions as well as everyone else….Im just saying

Mary Hall Staley; i agree. if some one suckered punched me and then started pounding me head into the ground, and i had a gun i probubly would be in shoes right now. being threated by all the radical race baiting racists. yes, i know it not a well known fact, BUT BLACKS CAN BE RACISTS also.

Ron Miller Have you ever been racially profiled I have in side of Sharper Image, I had a guidance counselor in high school tell my math teacher that I was a black child from a third world country and there was no way she was going to put me in algebra we are not that advance in Jamaica I was doing calculus when I left Jamaica and I could go on and on but I wont because unless you have experience it there is no room to speak I see it every day and it is sad and disgusting you wont because ??? when I lived in Hawaii they dont like white people there and it is so funny to see the look on the faces of whites when they experience this type of treatment…..sad but funny

Carrie Wynn I don't think Trayvon knew Zimmerman was carrying a gun at the time…that would be absolutely stupid to do anything but run away if he knew that. I have taught high school for many years and the mentality of teens now has changed drastically. they are no longer taught to not fight by parents…they are taught "if you feel threatened or "disrespected" you better fight and win"…it is very sad. and this is not a race thing or a poor/rich thing…I have taught many races and economic statuses and it is just how society has changed things. Just hoping it is a fair trial and all evidence comes out and that all will accept the outcome whatever it may be…

Mary Hall Staley either way I fully believe that zimmerman is wrong for killing this kid…

Mary Hall Staley either way I fully believe that zimmerman is wrong for killing this kid…

Jim Irsik I completely agree with you on the comment about the slave comment…I didn't personally bring any black person here for slavery so yea I agree with that..I get tired of hearing that its the white peoples fault that blacks was put into slavery..yea SOME white people bought blacks here as slaves and as you said that was centuries ago…there is a song by garth brooks its titled we shall be free..I love that song and I wish everyone would be like that…look past the skin color and see the person then you will see the good or the bad….every race as radicals.phycos.child molsters, pedifiles rapists and killers…they all need to be brought to justice simply because they were wrong in their actions…

racism will always be around just like the KKK will never go away and I guess the black panthers and until we start seeing it in our selves and try to fix it.. it will never go away.. look at that comment " 1 in 3 blacks are certified criminals" made by Bryan K. Harman.. Really? The funny part is that even If Trayvon was white I would still be ticked because of the ignoring of proper procedures… What would have happened if they were both white?

as far as the racial profiling goes…when I was younger I lived in a pretty rough place and it was a mix of races so whenever something happened around town people always said look in the hills for the person who did it…there was something happen and I got blamed for it…when the cops showed up they arrested me without questioning about what happened took me in and kept me detained for 3 days before anything was ever asked or investigated…because I was from this neighborhood I was automatically blamed for it…there was a supposed witness to what happened who pointed me out..well when they finally got around to investigating what happened they got the evidence that was needed to clear my name..but I was arrested simply because I lived in this neighborhood of "criminals" ….if thats not racial profiling at its finest then I don't know what is…. and I 'm full blooded white…so I know what it is to be racially profiled…it sucks and it shows that people really are ignorant…
My son is mixed…and when people hear that my son is mixed most people jump to the conclusion that he is part black part white..but he is not mixed with black….his father was Asian and Native American…again that is racial profiling at its finest…before people know the facts about My son I always get accused of things…alot of people call me trash for having a mixed son…in my opinion anyone who judges someone because of the color of their skin should take a really long look in the mirror and see what the real problem is with their self…

Mary Hall Staley that is what we can hope and pray for Mary that all of it will come out in the trail and real justice to be served…I'm not angry at your opinions or anything…I just know how I feel about this…its a tragedy that it happened..hell its a tragedy when any one is killed it doesnt matter what race they are when a life is lost it cant be given back…

Mary Hall Staley, Zimmerman was talking to a MALE officer on the phone (it was played on the news). Where do you get all this other info ? Were you there ?

Mary Hall Staley I heard that too when they released the 911 calls! It bothers me how many people only "hear" what they want to hear. I guess it would have been ok if that kid killed a biracial man….

Carrie Wynn because kids do not kill adults huh………that's preposterous!! That is what the 911 dispatch relayed to the police. I mean gee what about those kids who killed their parents to get the insurance money… because kids never want to kill…. I was mugged by a 17 yr old "Child" who happened to be 6'4 to my 5'2 but when I pulled my gun which I am legally able to carry because my CCW says I can he dropped on the ground. The police arrested him not me! Maybe he (Trayvon) should not have hit Mr. Zimmerman… I mean lets be realistic you never know what a person is carrying….

Carrie Wynn it is called carrying concealed meaning it is not in your hand but hidden which he was well within his legal rights to do so. When somebody jumps you and is pounding your head into the pavement, as witnesses have reported, that is a threat to seriously bodily injury.

Carrie Wynn "no way in hell am I gonna believe that zimmerman was being harmed by a 17 year old boy on his way home from getting something from the store…come on Mary a kid was murdered…." your failure of imagination is not reason to ignore facts of the case. Boxers wear gloves and are highly trained, but in a 3 minute round even they are not throwing punches the whole time. Real fights are not like the movies or TV often they are can be over in one good punch that can leave an opponent dazed. It is very possible that with Martin's greater reach he could have struck first. From the wounds on the back of his head and witnesses describing Zimmerman getting his head pounded on the cement he was at risk of serious bodily injury or death. Zimmerman spent 5 hours at the police station and passed a lie detector test which is why the police let him go they didn't have anything to hold him on. He acted in a lawful manner and they had not enough evidence to the contrary.

Why should he have to appear in court if there was not evidence to make a charge?

Carrie Wynn I didn't point that out because of the white murders not being vendicated…I pointed it out because Obama specifically used this as a way to nudge the race thing forward….Think about it…If Bush would have said the same thing about a white person murdered all Hell would have broken lose. Do I think Obama is racist…no I don't…I think he uses situations in best ways to benefit him….

Joseph Fitzpatrick because the Lynch mob demands it…

Jim Irsik Problem is if it had been a Black man shooting a white kid in the same situation and the circumstances had been exactly the same it would not have even been discussed. What you think?

Toni Moore Milbourne Carrie Wynn here is a current picture and a link to his twitter account http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/26/the-daily-caller-obtains-trayvon-martins-tweets/ and here is the video from the police station and you can see the injuries he sustained. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/george-zimmerman-enhanced-video-shows-injury-trayvon-martin-16053206 Watch the police officer he stares at the injuries on the back of Zimmerman's head.

Absolutely, but they don't see it that way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Linda Shea Finch he was told by a civilian not a sworn officer "you don't need to do that" that is much different. If Trayvon hadn't been using or maybe it was selling drugs, defacing school property, or stealing stuff out of lockers and getting himself suspended he wouldn't have been there trespassing on private property.If only Trayvon had stopped and talked to George first instead of running Trayvon would still have been alive. If only Trayvon had gone on to his father's girlfriend's house instead of confronting Zimmerman Trayvon would still be alive. If only Trayvon not started a fight Trayvon might be alive. If only Trayvon wasn't trying to smash George's head into the cement maybe Trayvon would still be alive. If Trayvon was faster grabbing for the gun or didn't grab for it at all maybe Trayvon would still be alive. Lot of ifs that could have been easily been avoided on Trayvon's part. Why blame George Zimmerman for caring about his neighbors and not wanting them to be robbed?

It is a shame that this tragedy has been politicized by racist hate mongers and the facts ignored and twisted.

Joseph Fitzpatrick you are right I hope one of your children never get put in that position if you have children

Carrie Wynn witnesses saw Trayvon on top of George and he was shot in the chest not the back.

Arlene M Bulley-Brooks As a matter of fact I have. I am from Birmingham, Alabama so you can't tell me nothing about racial profiling. Birmingham is always in the top 5 most dangerous cities in the United States. I've been in places where I was the only white person out of 5 hundred. I have been looked at every way imaginable so you can't tell me anything about that. I've trained blacks to do my job and then have them promoted over me. I have been trying to be nice about all this but now you and some others have pissed me off. The bottom line is there is no bigger racist in the United Stated than the ignorant Jessie Jackson!!!

Joseph Fitzpatrick Thanks for the links. Of course they are doctored by white people to prevent the truth of this out and out murder of a black child….Good heavens people, none of you were there. Quit being judge and jury and let the justice system do its work.

Toni Moore Milbourne I know crazy me I think if people are going to go around talking about something that should be some facts and not telling the exact opposite of the truth to try to make a political point.

Joseph Fitzpatrick Agreed….but not going to happen especially in an election year!

Joseph Fitzpatrick did not know there had been yet another video release…enhanced at that- yes i can see the mark on the back of his head…i still did not see anything on the front of him though which doesn't explain the supposed broken nose, didn't see any blood on his clothing or anywhere- have you ever seen someone with a broken nose? blood everywhere, ….although, i am no medic, just making an observational comment- at any rate, thanks for posting the link to the new footage… glad this thing will be taken to trial so all evidence will be shown and weighed out-

Joseph Fitzpatrick there is enough 'grey' to warrant a trial, if had been your 17 yr old son, wouldn't you want all the evidence laid out in court of law???? Wouldn't you demand it???? I certainly know I would. The 17yr old was being followed by a guy armed w/ a gun, while he was headed back home from the 7/11 armed with skittles and an ice tea in hand….maybe, just maybe the 17 yr old felt threatened and was trying to defend himself? wasn't he on the phone with his girlfriend at the time telling her about zimmerman following him? none of us were there though….but now that it has become so public, there will be a trial in some shape, form of judicial fashion, in which all evidence will be put out for all to hear and weighed out- thank goodness…

Lara Sasseen Ellis he was treated at the scene and cleaned up according to the police report. I have had my nose broken on several occasions lots of blood most of the time but no bandage afterwards on most of them. It would be pretty standard police procedure to take the bloody clothes, it might be since he was close to home they had someone bring clothes over and took them when he was getting treated so as not to contaminate the evidence. Possibilities exist and I don't have all the evidence. The initial prosecutor didn't want to prosecute, but still was going to put the evidence before the grand jury for them to decide. Now the grand jury is being circumvented due to racial and political pressure.

Lara Sasseen Ellis I can think about 4 ways I can kill someone with a bag of skittle and an ice tea, 6 if it is a bottle and not a can. A little stone was all it took to kill Goliath after all. I would have been more concerned about my kid and not took 3 days to look for him or more concerned about my neighbors and gone out to see what all the police cars were doing 70' from the house I was in. There was a trial of some shape the original prosecutor had scheduled the case to go before a grand jury for them to make a decision. The new prosecutor doesn't trust in the people to get it right so she has instead bypassed the judicial system and made her own decision to appease the lynch mob. She had made a point of talking to Martin's parents to the press this is not justice this a travesty heaped upon a tragic situation.

Lara Sasseen Ellis you are right..if it were my son I would want a fair trial…I would, however be sick to my stomach over everybody using my son's death as their personal platform (Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, Spike Lee, the Lynch mob, all the protestors who are only interested if they are being watched..and let's not forget the media who have basically tried the whole case themselves)…fair trial..absolutely…unfair, lynch mob circus…no…just hoping somehow it will be a fair trial…

Evidence? He killed the kid after the police officer on the phone told him not to go after the kid at all. Explain to me why Zimmerman lawyers are no longer there… Why shoot a kid armed with skittles and ice tea? Are you two that clueless?

Joseph Fitzpatrick … You can't be serious, right?

Mary Hall Staley … Imagine if someone killed a loved one of yours, who wasn't armed in anyway and the killer was told by the police to stop pursuing him or her. Then that killer wasn't even arrested for it.

Ryan Carranza I am perfectly serious. You are seriously misinformed of the facts. Zimmerman was told by a police dispatcher not a sworn officer and it was a suggestion not an order " you don't need to be doing that" is a far cry from don't do that. 30 seconds or so after the suggestion he loses sight of Martin and stops. The lawyers dropped him because he has been honest with law enforcement and talked with them and the media directly and not go through them for one interview, not talking to them for one day hurt their feelings and lowers their fees. I can think of 4 ways to kill someone with skittles and an ice tea your failure of imagination does not mean you would be any less dead. Try reading the facts of the case instead of the lies that are being spun out. George Zimmerman has been consistent through hours of questioning and even passed a lie detector test. http://www.wagist.com/2012/dan-linehan/evidence-that-trayvon-martin-doubled-back

Arlene M Bulley-Brooks this is hardly been swept under the rug. Zimmerman was honest with the officers from the beginning, told the truth and even walked the officers through the incident in a video taped deposition. Procedures were followed, were they proper and good it seems likely once you get the facts and not the spin http://www.wagist.com/2012/dan-linehan/evidence-that-trayvon-martin-doubled-back

Lara Sasseen Ellis I have had many broken noses because of some poor choices in my youth, sometimes stereotypes become stereotypes for a reason. Not all of them bleed profusely or leave much of a mark afterward though they do hurt like the dickens. That close of a shot would have been lots of Trayvon's blood on his shirt and well some small chunks as well. Bullets are messy when passing through living things. I imagine the police took his clothes while he was being worked on. Could easily gone to get fresh ones since they were closer to his house than the department.

And it was going to go to the grand jury which it should have to see if it warranted a trial, but that important step is being bypassed in a move of political grandstanding.

Neni Mehrhoff I m not saying that all kids cant be dangrous but from what I have heard on the news and all the reports…he was tryin to get away from zimmerman….

Mary Hall Staley yes mary I completely agree with that about obama…I mean alot of my statements on here was about obama using this to gain more power….
