<div dir="ltr">Tom - yes - I can substantiate my claims and further I can debunk yours. You post a snip about audio experts and then curiously neglect to mention that audio experts did not testify at the trial. The jurors listened to the 911 calls and they heard cries for help. <b>The prosecution puts up a witness that testifies that Martin is top of Zimmerman beating him and that "The person on the bottom, I could hear a 'Help,'" he said.</b> The prosecution put two witnesses up on the stand that claimed Martin was beating Zimmerman. How you and Saundra and anyone else can be in denial regarding this is beyond reason. The prosecutions version of the story is that Martin was beating Zimmerman and here is the link:<br><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/george-zimmerman-beaten-prosecution-witnesses/story?id=19517236" target="_blank">http://abcnews.go.com/US/george-zimmerman-beaten-prosecution-witnesses/story?id=19517236</a><br><br>You then further claim 'The minor abrasion on the back of Zimmerman's head which did not require any immediate attention' and from the same link above <b>'Stacy Livingston, an EMT who arrived on the scene, said she treated
Zimmerman</b> -- who was complaining of dizziness -- for five minutes before
releasing him into police custody.' And the purpose of your claim is what? That Zimmerman wasn't beaten badly enough and that he should have had worse injuries to justify any beating? The judge should have instructed the jury to ignore photographic of injuries to Zimmerman, ignore the testimony of the EMT who treated him at the scene, ignore the medical report taken the morning after the shooting, ignore eyewitness testimony that he was being beaten and yelling 'Help'?<br><br>You make a claim that 'Zimmerman was not anywhere for medical aid for FOUR DAYS following the incident.' Really? An EMT testifying that she treated Zimmerman at the scene doesn't count. And Zimmerman's doctor who examined him the morning after the shooting doesn't count either?<br><br>Given all of the available 911 evidence and witness testimony, how do you come anywhere close to meeting burden of proof for 2nd degree murder or manslaughter against self-defense? It can't be done. This is why the police didn't arrest him to begin with. It wasn't because they were racist as much as you racists who are continuously playing the race card want to believe the worst in everyone. They didn't arrest him because they couldn't find any law that he broke. Likewise the jury acquitted because they too couldn't find any law that he broke.<br><br>-Scott<br><br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">CC: <a href="mailto:donovanjarnold2005@yahoo.com">donovanjarnold2005@yahoo.com</a>; <a href="mailto:vision2020@moscow.com">vision2020@moscow.com</a>; <a href="mailto:sunilramalingam@hotmail.com">sunilramalingam@hotmail.com</a><br>From: <a href="mailto:thansen@moscow.com">thansen@moscow.com</a><br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Idaho 'Stand Your Ground' Law<br>Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2013 16:28:35 -0700<br>To: <a href="mailto:scooterd408@hotmail.com">scooterd408@hotmail.com</a><br><br><div style=""><span></span></div><div><div style="">Courtesy of CNN at:</div><div style=""><br></div><div><span style=""><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/23/justice/florida-zimmerman-timeline/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/23/justice/florida-zimmerman-timeline/index.html</a></span></div><div style=""><br></div><div style="">---------------------------------</div><div style=""><br></div><div style=""><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong style="padding:0px;">April 2:</strong> Audio experts tell CNN that they don't believe it's Zimmerman who can be heard yelling "Help!" in the background of a 911 call.
