zimmerman, the woman beating, cop assaulting, drunk driving wannabe cop, pursues martin knowing nothing other than that he is black, muttering things like "these assholes always get away" and "fucking coons". martin runs away from this psycho, and zimmerman gets out on foot to chase after him.
this is what we KNOW. well, maybe he said "fucking goons".
now comes what we don't really know. zimmerman claims he was just looking for an address for the cops, and was walking back to his vehicle after totally not pursuing martin and lost sight of the guy he was totally not pursuing in a corridor between attached houses with no hiding spots.
some sort of struggle in the grass ensues, not much movement is going on, just some weak, sad whimpers for help, and a gunshot rings out. zimmerman is seen immediately after the gunshot straddling martin, face down in the grass, gets up, walks to the sidewalk looking worried, and puts his hand on his forehead in an "oh shit" type of gesture.
cops show up, some milling around occurs, zimmerman is treated for his supposed "smashed skull" and "broken nose" by the SFD in the span of about 10 or 15 minutes, and shows up at the police station 34 minutes later looking unscathed, walking without any problems or dizziness, not showing any signs of pain or visible discomfort.
the lead investigator interviews him and sys his story does not add up and is unconvincing. he presses for manslaughter charges. however, the prosecutor, who oddly leaves his home late on a sunday night to meet the police chief in person, says "cut him loose", ignoring the advice of the guy whose job it is to sniff out lying assholes.
zimmerman's body is sent to the morgue tagged as "john doe" while the police complete their report with his name and DOB on it. his parents are about to file a missing person's report before finding out their son has been killed, while the cops are in possession of his phone with such contacts in it as "mom", "dad", and auntie.
now his "friend" joe oliver and family are out there saying zimmerman was one head smash away from being a permanent vegetable.
seems totally legit.
