For example:
A few moments later, he asks Zimmerman why he kept following Martin even after the police dispatcher told him not to. Zimmerman’s answer is staggering.
“I wanted to give them an address.”
An address? This may be the moment that will convict him. It means that even he suspected that Martin was a legitimate visitor to the complex, staying in an apartment and legally on the property, Zimmerman continued to pursue him.
I thought this answer meant to give an address of where GZ/TM were so the police could find them when they arrived. I never thought it meant he wanted to see which house TM was going to.
Also, this one:
The next moment reveals another aspect of Zimmerman’s state of mind, complete paranoia. The officer plays the tape of him with the police dispatcher, when he refuses to give his address to the dispatcher “out loud” — the embattled neighborhood watch volunteer so afraid of the fking punks in his neighborhood that he’s afraid of giving the police his address, despite the complete lack of evidence that any of those punks had ever attacked him before. Like these fearsome criminals are tapping the public airwaves and listening to cell phone conversations just to get him.
I doubt GZ was thinking someone was tapping the airwaves. However, he *may* have believed TM was close enough to overhear his conversation and then when this "fucking punk" got away, he'd come back to GZ house and get him.
I think GZ is toast, no matter this week's testimony. Everyone keeps thinking the defense is getting stronger, but I think it is weak and going to get very much weaker in the coming days when these quotes come into play, and when the ME evidence is discussed.
I am not at all worried that GZ will walk. He will get his just desserts.
