GZ doesn't clue in - he is being interviewed and read his Miranda rights because HE is the suspect.

What else could he have called him? To call him a victim would be to admit that he was himself the bad guy. No one is going to do that, whether innocent or not. Just human nature.

At different times he also says Trayvon sat up and said that. You definitely would not be able to sit up after this type of mortal injury. My understanding is you might stay alive for a few seconds, but you would be immobilized and not be able to speak. But I will be interested to hear what the medical examiner says because this is an important point.
Caught a gruesome glimpse of Trayvon's body face up last week on the livestream. His eyes and mouth were still open. Looked to me like his last second was engulfed in a state of terror and shock. I have little doubt that it was his screams that were silenced by that shot.

I'm a bit behind - I've taped HLN and am about 20 minutes behind "live" tv - but they cut out the recording testimony of Zimmerman giving his account to the female officer.

He was talking about being in his truck - cut to commercial - and then he's on the grass with Trayvon Martin.

Stupid network.

We already know what the Prosecution thinks, they charged him with murder 2. I don't think they are trying to claim anything in this, they are merely going over the suspect's statements in an interview with police. Where they are going with this probably has little to do with buzzwords like Vigilante, and more to do with what the suspect stated, and what the evidence shows.

No question, this will lay the groundwork for what O'Mara recommends to Zimmerman.

How about "subject", "guy", "person", etc?
