thank you barbtries Apr 2012 #91

you got to be shitting us. Whisp Apr 2012 #43

I've been saying the same thing shadowrider Apr 2012 #73

? Twice as big ? Martin 6'2", 160, Zimmerman, 5'9", 170 shadowrider Apr 2012 #49

Wow, Zimmerman keeps losing weight and Martin keeps gaining weight mainer Apr 2012 #50

In the video of Zimmerman arriving at the police station doc03 Apr 2012 #53

Zimmerman was described as 200 pounds mainer Apr 2012 #56

He could have just as well been on foot returning to his vehicle and doc03 Apr 2012 #57

So if Zimmerman was returning to his vehicle how did he end up shooting Martin csziggy Apr 2012 #83

Early reports had him at 250. shadowrider Apr 2012 #68

According to the police report (Link included) shadowrider Apr 2012 #71

The autopsy will give us Trayvon's weight mainer Apr 2012 #74

Agreed shadowrider Apr 2012 #87

Well, that's true Canuckistanian Apr 2012 #24

Once arrested there are 175 days to charge Zimmerman. That means 175 days to find evidence beyond dkf Apr 2012 #35

Well, let's not rush into anything, then Canuckistanian Apr 2012 #40

Nope because Florida has this specific 175 day law which doesn't seem to be the norm. dkf Apr 2012 #44

Not enough evidence? ROFL. Now THAT is the absurdity of which the OP was speaking. n/t K Gardner Apr 2012 #76
