‘Back toward the SUV’ implies that Zimmerman walked a ways from his car and then walked back, which is what Zimmerman claims, but does not mean it is factual. If Zimmerman got out to confront Martin who was relatively near the SUV then no back tracking is necessary. Where Martin’s was found does not indicate the movement of Zimmerman and from what the police work has appeared to be to this point, I would guess that they did not look for foot tracks on the ground to corroborate Zimmerman’s account of the incident.
Memory is a tricky thing, and returning to his car may have meant nothing more than turning his head or even having the intention to turn around. If he got a broken nose and other head injuries then there is a good chance his memory is not real clear of what happened just before or after everything went down. I am suggesting that Zimmerman is intentionally lying, but he made very well be filling in holes in his memory to make sense of the event.[/quote]
Interestesting speculation, but the burden remains on the prosecution to provide evidence.
I don’t see any, and given how quick the cops were to release, they didn’t either.[/quote]
You know, the early news reports made it seem like Zimmerman was released at the scene and did not seek medical care at all, but in a few of the recent articles posted here, it is said that Zimmerman was “checked out” (I assume they meant by the medical personnel at the scene) and was cleared to be taken in for questioning, which he was. He was only released after being questioned and his story checked out with the evidence and it was determined they did not have enough to arrest him.
