And why did they take off the "bandages"?

Case closed. trumad Mar 2012 #1
The Police CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #4
The State Attorney is saying she may not need a Grand Jury to proceed. trumad Mar 2012 #8
Not me. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #19
I don't understand police procedure.. So this is probably a really stupid question.. nenagh Mar 2012 #38
It was CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #43
Actually, it was released by the police, according to the reporter who obtained it. DirkGently Mar 2012 #47
Uh Huh. OK. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #53
No, the reporter who HAS the video said that. He lied? DirkGently Mar 2012 #158
Dunno He seems to have couched his answer. Did not tell Judge O'Donnell who he asked. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #164
Fair enough. Who knows? Nothing about this case makes sense so far. DirkGently Mar 2012 #169

Watch and learn. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #57
Interesting observations ProgressiveProfessor Mar 2012 #88
Video shows head wound. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #150
I see no head wound whatsoever. Good try, no sale. yardwork Mar 2012 #152
Take a close look at CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #161
If he has a wound on his head, the police should have a photograph of it, or any crunch60 Apr 2012 #227
at 56-58 seconds into video when he is much closer to camera with back of head to camera. I couldn't Bill USA Mar 2012 #156
He pauses at the Black line for just a second. That is when you can see it. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #162
I think that is the shape of his head Quixote1818 Mar 2012 #181
Could be. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #184
I'm not sure he was wearing the jacket at the time of the shooting ThomThom Apr 2012 #229
Daily Caller is a RW propaganda site suffragette Mar 2012 #185
Yes it is they promote the RW line. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #187
I think it's inappropriate to post anything from The Daily Caller as "evidence" on DU suffragette Mar 2012 #188
On the video CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #195
If you already realize the Daily Caller is a RW rag and is "self explanatory slanted" suffragette Mar 2012 #201
Ahh, yes--Phucker Carlson, of the dinky bow ties and insufferable attitude! nt MADem Mar 2012 #211
Exactly. Looks like they are running a full-tilt propaganda campaign suffragette Mar 2012 #214
Great article, thanks for putting it up. Adds to the narrative. Way more credible than the Caller MADem Mar 2012 #215
Uh huh. The reporter's lying for no reason? DirkGently Mar 2012 #163
That and the way it tries to follow him out of the frame led me to the same conclusion Warpy Mar 2012 #177
I did not know about the Smart Phone. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #182
It Looks Like Somebody Inside The Police Department DallasNE Mar 2012 #67
Holistic detectives shouldn't ignore their observations. Callisto32 Mar 2012 #74
Holistically speaking, the video came from the cops, period. DirkGently Mar 2012 #160
Nw I just saw the real on with the PD log on it on CNN. But they cut the part with the head wound. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #176
You don't know if there was a Head wound. Did you see pictures taken by the police crunch60 Apr 2012 #228
everything should have been photographed at the scene ThomThom Apr 2012 #230
Transparency, maybe? The taxpayers of Florida paid for that surveillance video. The police are MADem Mar 2012 #52
"The Police took Zimmerman's clothes for evidence" alcibiades_mystery Mar 2012 #12
I'm inclined to think so--not a drop of blood anywhere librechik Mar 2012 #32
The witnesses said that Zimmerman was wearing a red jacket Cali_Democrat Mar 2012 #42
OMG I was totally joking alcibiades_mystery Mar 2012 #60
Somebody on this thread claimed it happened librechik Mar 2012 #71
Yes, somebody who was making it up alcibiades_mystery Mar 2012 #73
I don't know if you've ever watched CSI or the like, librechik Mar 2012 #78
Yeesh alcibiades_mystery Mar 2012 #82
and you keep jumping to conclusions before we have all the evidence librechik Mar 2012 #97
What conclusion alcibiades_mystery Mar 2012 #102
That's TV drama entertainment. FarPoint Mar 2012 #95
then what happened to the bloody shirt one officer alleges he saw? librechik Mar 2012 #99
I can tell you what happened to it... Javaman Mar 2012 #125
I like how this possibility never dawns on our friend alcibiades_mystery Mar 2012 #140
He had to of been looking at Trayvon then.. FarPoint Mar 2012 #159
Not if he shot him from further away Fawke Em Mar 2012 #118
But that would conflict with the precious police report alcibiades_mystery Mar 2012 #141
Well, the SPD has been quite strange. BlueToTheBone Mar 2012 #221
and found replacement perfect fit clothes ???..and scars ??..x-ray of "broken nose"?? Swagman Mar 2012 #39
Of course! Cops always have a change of clothese ready for Dudes Who Shoot Black Kids alcibiades_mystery Mar 2012 #61
Of course. Those are clothes the police provided. TahitiNut Mar 2012 #87
Hey, maybe the cool cop who lent him the jacket alcibiades_mystery Mar 2012 #89
On the other hand, maybe he was looking for the Skittles George scored? TahitiNut Mar 2012 #147
Be fair. A man who can heal a head wound in minutes could whisk a weapon through thin air! yardwork Mar 2012 #153
Oh.. yeah.. I forgot. Salamander genes. TahitiNut Mar 2012 #175
Anyone know the exact time and day of this video? The Wielding Truth Mar 2012 #79
It's 30 minutes after the killing. nt Quixote1818 Mar 2012 #183
Thanks. Wow. Zimmerman is in good shape for 30 min. after murder. The Wielding Truth Mar 2012 #191
"The truth will out" is exactly right - TBF Mar 2012 #14
It is unlikely that they took his clothes before this picture JDPriestly Mar 2012 #45
The Police can take his clothes as evidence and they did. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #50
His name is Trayvon. JTFrog Mar 2012 #54
To be fair, Zimmerman is a standard spelling of a name most people have heard. Callisto32 Mar 2012 #77
this story didn't just break yesterday--it's been the headline everywhere for 3 weeks now SemperEadem Mar 2012 #143
Google it for chrissake! No excuse. lib_wit_it Mar 2012 #204
Take a deep breath and try to apply some critical thinking? MADem Mar 2012 #56
Just curious: how do you know the Police took the evidence and sealed it in an evidence bag? Pachamama Mar 2012 #59
CAPHAVOC doesn't know shit about it: he's just making it up alcibiades_mystery Mar 2012 #65
Suspected so much....just wanted the Floriduh resident to explain his certainity of facts. Pachamama Mar 2012 #69
I do not claim to have the true facts. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #81
Facts, are, by their nature, true. If they aren't true, they aren't facts. They are lies. nt MADem Mar 2012 #103
True! Speculation. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #111
Speculations aren't facts, though. They're just guesses--sometimes educated, other times, halfassed. MADem Mar 2012 #119
But CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #122
You were the person making reference upthread to "true facts," if you recall. nt MADem Mar 2012 #168
OK CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #171
Oh, now you admit that. You previously presented your speculation as fact. You are untrustworthy. lib_wit_it Mar 2012 #206
I love you FarPoint Mar 2012 #112
Speculating CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #68
The new State Attorney said they had Zimmerman's clothes from that night ProgressiveProfessor Mar 2012 #98
OK CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #133
IF you recall correctly. IF. Have any evidence of that? Link please. lib_wit_it Mar 2012 #207
IIRC the claim was made during Nancy Grace interview ProgressiveProfessor Mar 2012 #218
And the cops had a change of clothing ready at the scene? sarge43 Mar 2012 #124
The video shows an officer touching Zimmerman's jacket in a very weak casual crunch60 Mar 2012 #64
It's also quite obviously NOT a change of clothes if the officer is searching it alcibiades_mystery Mar 2012 #66
The way they all stroll into the station is curious, too. They're chatting, and no one MADem Mar 2012 #113
… reinforcing the theory that Zimmerman is a "CI" FraDon Mar 2012 #135
That's a very plausible theory. I never saw such a casual 'perp walk' in my life. nt MADem Mar 2012 #154
Yes. GZ takes his own path up to the sidewalk near the wall and the one cop who was still behind him lib_wit_it Mar 2012 #209
He's out of the car, standing around, before they even bring down the garage door. MADem Mar 2012 #210
IF and that is a huge if the police took the clothes intaglio Mar 2012 #70
Speculating on my part CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #76
Scientific protocol in evidence collection would say that is an untruth intaglio Mar 2012 #132
Maybe so CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #138
And since when do District Attorneys work on a Sunday? johnlucas Mar 2012 #166
I can believe that bloody clothes would be taken and put into a sealed evidence bag magical thyme Mar 2012 #80
I would assume they took them later on. CAPHAVOC Mar 2012 #84

And where are the latex gloves? - even a hint of blood requires the wearing of gloves. AnotherMother4Peace Mar 2012 #15
Well, wouldn't that be for the EMT's? If they cleared him at the scene beforehand, no gloves, right? freshwest Mar 2012 #36
I work in education & we are required to put on gloves at any sign of blood: abrasions, bloody nose, AnotherMother4Peace Mar 2012 #51
