Enahnced video my arse! I saw it last night. It was enhanced alright. I do digital graphic art and animation and all that was...was an enhancement of shadows. A novice at Photoshop could "enhance" a photo or video to the level that that one was. If the original was considered "grainy", this one was so resolution distorted and out of balance, hue saturation, and contrast wise, it was pathetic. If that's the expertise of ABC's lab, I'm shocked.

So, are you on a mission to demonize and bash the video enhancement experts?

Is there any proof that Trayvon Martin at any time was being antagonistic towards George Zimmerman? Zimmerman had a gun. Martin was unarmed. Martin ended up dead. Doesn't reflect too well on the "self-defense" angle.
This oblique interpretation is really quite ridiculous. Anyone looking to shoot someone does not close the distance to give a fair chance for someone pull out a knife. They also don't tell the police all about it along the way. I am sure Zimmerman thought he was doing some sort of duty. To execute someone, you get within 20 feet and take the shot. There was obviously a struggle and then the gun came out.
The question is if Zimmerman unnecessarily escalated the situation. I do think someone who has a gun needs to be overly cautious because causing a hot moment with a gun is different than one with out it.
17 year olds make bad decisions all the time. I find it very plausible he used aggression especially given they ended up on the ground. That doesn't mean it was wrong because I don't even know if Zimmerman identified himself properly. If Zimmerman approached and didn't identify himself properly then Martin my have been acting in self defense. That looks to me more like manslaughter charges. However if Martin closed the distance of a good 20 feet to get at Zimmerman, then Martin would be more to blame.
You could look to Florida law but one has to wonder what sort of things are going on in that state which has lots of places that have high murder rates.

Gosh, I wonder what that policeman was LOOKING at on the back of Zimmerman's HEAD. What do you think?

No, I want an FBI enhancment of the video if any. I would also love to hear their take on the 911 calls as well.
As for digital manipulation expertise, I'd love to know aht ABC pays that department. I work freelance with the digital stuff ...photo correction, collage, etc. and maybe I could increase revenue by showing ABC my portfolio.
Oh...that just happens to confirm what the original police report said, what Zimmerman said and what the eye witness saw, in addition to his neighbors....the NEXT DAY.
Sounds like some made up their minds in the very beginning and are unwilling, unable to change their minds, no matter what the evidence and eye witnesses say.

What about the calls?
The witness said it was Zimmerman screaming for help.

LOOKING at the back of his head makes it a wound that is deadly or at the least, life threatening??? I think there is also the possibility that Zimmerman is a klutz tripped over his own feet.
An affidavit was signed by a head detective (up close and personal at the scene) stating that he was not convinced by Zimmerman's story and you base facts on a cop looking at the back of his head...funny.

In the process of being beaten bloody by Martin, do you think he might have thought his life was in danger?
Tell me, what was going to make that nice, innocent-looking young boy start the beating?
