Because I think Trayvon, after seeing Porky get out of his truck to chase him, did not go down the Tee. Maybe he felt there was no place to hide there. I think he went a little further, to the front of the houses hoping to elude porky. meanwhile, porky was following Trayvon; he had ALMOST GOTTEN TO THE BACK OF THE FIANCE'S HOUSE when george got close. (witness said trayvon told her "he's right behind me." Trayvon then continued down the Tee, since one ear witness said she heard the voices going from left to right..FROM trayvon's house TOWARD the Tee. That's why his body was 50 feet from the Tee. Nothing happened at the Tee. Porky HAD to put himself there because he was only 'looking for an address'.

That's what was going on for those four minutes.

Hope this blocks the DOJ from any further witch hunt.
Alan Dershowitz was on tonight slamming the Prosecution.

He stated If any civil rights were violated it is GZ's the way they lied to the judge and withheld evidence.

I agree completely. The prosecution had no case. I never said otherwise. What I will debate is the idea that GZ received a prolonged beating. He lied. That is my opinion. No evidence what so ever that he he was beaten severely for a full minute. I have seen to many fights that lasted no where near that long result in far worse and they were not even hard hitters mixing it up.
I say my speculation is more realistic than GZ's exaggerations.

If anything, Zimmerman should consider lawsuits against them for defamation and against the Estate of Trayvon Martin for battery.
I'm sorry at what point was TM convicted of attempted murder? I missed that part.

Your thread is so sad. You call George "porky". Why not call Trayon "blackie"?

What is your evidence? Did you pay attention to the evidence that came out at trial?

Very limited in what you appear to understand about the case or probably any trial proceedings for that matter. Key forensic evidence was tainted. A jury is instructed to consider the evidence that is handed to them and they must render a decision based on that. It does not mean that the defendant is INNOCENT just because they are found not guilty based on what the jury had to work with.

Which is why, I suspect, the jury had to find GZ "not guilty." By the way, "not guilty" doesn't actually mean "innocent." It simply means that the prosecution didn't prove BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that GZ was guilty of murder or manslaughter.
That.....and the fact that Rachel told the jury that TM basically reached safety. And we know where the scuffle happened. This turned out to be significant.
