You know - in case they need to call in to report a "suspicious" teen walking home from the 7-11.

Seriously, if you're part of the neighborhood watch, how hard would it be to learn the street names of your neighborhood and there are only two or three streets in the entire neighborhood?
Interesting that he had little problem recalling streets during all his previous NEN calls.

And the person that Trayvon Martin made that remark about proved to be "creepy" AND a murderer so Trayvon's instincts were right about GZ. TM fought for his life.

Are you saying Zimmerman was in a panic when he made that call that night?

He sounded pretty darn calm to me when he said, "These a-holes always get away."

The only mistake that TM made was not having a weapon to "stand his ground" against that racist creep GZ.
Interesting that Chris Serino testified, today, that GZ wasn't targeting TM because of race. It appears to be you that wants to continue pushing the racist narrative, and will probably continue doing that if he gets acquitted - being the facts, thus far, are in favor of the Defense.

It is good to see that our judicial process actually seems to be working. That observations are being testified to. That a Hispanic man may actually get a fair trial, at least in court, if not in the media or on the web.

The "hostile" witness that testified to Zimmerman's comment when told Ms cell phone may have captured the video of the event: "Thank god someone got a video". Not exactly the words of a man trying to hide something. Stick a fork in this turkey, this case is done.
Bologna, especially when almost everyone posting in this thread and its previous incarnations saw plenty of racist remarks...about Martin. No posters have belittled Zimmerman's Peruvian heritage and blood, in contrast to those who labeled Martin a "thug" from the jump. As for a video, Zimmerman knew that there are no surveillance cameras or street lights on the "dog walk," and every witness has testified to how dark it was that night. When SPD arrived, they had to park a car with its headlights shining on the crime scene. Zimmerman had his flashlight with him...he knew without a doubt that there was insufficient light for anyone's cell phone to capture the fight.

It's pretty damn funny how quickly the prosecution dropped the idea that this was all based on racism when their star witness testified that their little ghetto trooper was using racial slurs on the phone with her just a few minutes before he attacked Zimmerman.

And since when does Chris Serino live in George Zimmerman's brain to know his true motivation?

I didn't say that it did. My claim is that the prosecution is not establishing their case beyond a reasonable doubt. The criteria for manslaughter is much lower than 2nd degree murder.

The claim put forth was that GZ was a racist pig and the evidence, albeit flimsy, says that is more descriptive of TM than GZ.
