i don't think i heard any of the major networks report that. ********************************** A day after killing Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman passed a police lie detector test when asked if he confronted the teenager and whether he feared for his life âwhen you shot the guy,â according to documents released today by Florida prosecutors. According to a âconfidential reportâ prepared by the Sanford Police Department, Zimmerman willingly submitted to a computer voice stress analyzer (CVSA) âtruth verificationâ on February 27. Investigators concluded that he âhas told substantially the complete truth in regards to this examination.â Zimmerman, the report noted, âwas classified as No Deception Indicated (NDI).â Along with questions about whether his first name was George and if it was Monday, Zimmerman was asked, âDid you confront the guy you shot?â He answered, âNo.â He was also asked, âWere you in fear for your life, when you shot the guy.â Zimmerman replied, âYes.â Before the CVSA test, Zimmerman--who was apparently not accompanied by legal counsel--signed a Sanford Police Department release stating that he was undergoing the examination âvoluntarily, without duress, coercion, threat or promise.â
Ok, he wrongfully put himself in harm's way, got scared, and he's not lying about being scared. *shrug*
but that doesn't appear to be the case if you believe these tests. âDid you confront the guy you shot?â He answered, âNo.â
legally the question becomes this. did zimmerman have the right to use deadly force... so was he getting his butt kicked or was in fear of it? if so... is treyvon responsible for the escalation of violence up to that level or was zimmerman. absent eyewitness or tape recordings I do not know how we can ever know beyond a reasonable doubt.
...so he left his vehicle to ...have a smoke? ...look at the stars? ...ogle a good looking girl? ...take a piss, mayhaps? Inquiring minds want to know...
