40. ABC Will Regret This Article
Fri Apr 20, 2012, 11:04 AM
Apr 2012

Everything about this story looks and sounds phoney. First, this is a crime scene. Some stranger would not have easy access to Zimmerman where Zimmerman would have been able to give his phone number and a message for his wife. What expertise does this person have to identify powder burns, especially since Martin was lying face down.

All of the evidence of bleeding here is from a standing position with the head tilted. How realistic is that? Plus, the most visable injury is from a straight line. The head pounded into the sidewalk would show puffing and an area injury rather than a line injury.

The earlier attempts to show injury by enhancing the photos at the police station showed the "injuries" to be on a different part of the head.

Where was ABC New's bullshit detector while talking to this person. The powder burns comment should have set off all kinds of alarm bells right up front. Plus, they didn't seem to ask him any kind of meaningful questions anyway.

Yeah... that looks nearly as fatal as that bullet in Trayvon's chest. hlthe2b Apr 2012 #1
