[Hoot Gibson]

To further evidence your point. Trayvon had more than ample time and opportunity to enter his father's, girlfriend's front door. He was out of Zimmerman's sight for about 4 minutes and he was within steps of the apartment. He had an avenue of retreat. Zimmerman wasn't afforded the opportunity to retreat because Trayvon consciously made the decision to lie in wait for him, jumping him from behind the bushes.

Suddenly, Zimmerman was in the first fight of his life and it was a doozy. I think those screams were his, listening to them he was obviously terrified. And to challenge the weak point made by prosecutors, how many people are going to go on screaming after they shoot their attacker and the blows cease to fall? There is no doubt. After all the time prosecutors took to prepare their case, if Zimmerman had lied, those lies would have been revealed in the court proceedings.

Added to that is the fact that the first prosecutor and Sheriff were both fired because they wouldn't play ball with the true racial profilers of this unfortunate mess who wanted to see a white man swing. Turns out, Zimmerman isn't white so liberal media types obliged Sharpton and Jackson, creating a new white social group, that of white/Hispanics, LOL.

Great points. I would add that Zimmerman said that he was screaming because he thought that the police had time to respond to the 911 call and may have been looking for him. He said that Martin told him to shut up and even tried covering his mouth to silence his screams. The screams sounded like somebody trying to be heard more than screams of agony to me. Zimmerman's story makes perfect sense and the more you think about the excuses given for Martin's behavior, the less sense they make. The fact that none of the neighbors who heard Zimmerman's screams came to his aid or even called 911 says a lot about the quality of the neighborhood.
