I posted upfront that this “claim” could be untrue or exaggeration, so regardless if Serino did or didn’t officially make any claims, my point was that we shouldn’t treat the “overruled” thing as fact. (Please lets not kill this thread with pedantic nitpicks. Please.)
My question still stands though. Rather than throwing the PD under the bus by implying that the cops could have arrested Zimmerman on day 1 if they’d wanted to, the SA’s office could have just said there wasn’t enough evidence to arrest Zimmerman at the point that they were first consulted about the shooting.
The context in which the statement was made concerned the night of the shooting and rumors that Wolfinger was initimately involved in how the case was treated early on.
So why did the SA talk about the police’s actions? Again, look at the context in which the statement was made.
Not trying tonitpick. You got me all excited thinking that there was some statement by Serino.
Some folks in other places are trying to make the case that the affidavit doesn’t exist.
You said something about Serino making a claim.
I got excited by the prospect.
Now I am disappointed.
That’s about all there is to it afaict.
Yeah, that’s quite a life threatening gusher he’s got trickling down the nape of his neck. Good thing he blew a hole into Martin’s chest before he could put another nick on him.
I see a few reactions to it in this thread. So yes, there are reactions.
Honestly it doesn’t look like all that much blood for a head wound. I’d think that repeated bashing against concrete would produce much worse, but I’m not a medical expert so someone may correct me.
On another note, you refer to “Team Trayvon”. Do you then consider yourself to be on “Team Zimmerman”? Personally I think sports analogies are disgusting in this context. Nobody here is on a team regarding this. This is serious stuff, not sports.
Actually, I was wondering, do some EMTs use cyanoacrylate to glue simple wounds? I don’t know if that’s in their bag of tricks or not. I can’t recall seeing it in the EMT reports I’ve read but those are mostly Texas.
I learned it as con-ten-DARE-ee, but I’ve heard both, and had to stop myself from correcting the speaker the first time I heard it the other way. (The speaker was a judge, so correcting him… not so smart).
And you’re right: vo-AR DEER is another one that has multiple options!
The other interesting factoid out of this hearing is that while apologizing to Martin’s parents, Zimmerman said he didn’t know Martin was not armed, according tothis Washington Post story. I recall him saying something on the 911 call about Martin reaching for something on his belt or at his waist, which I suppose is a suggestion he was concerned about the possibility of a gun. But none of his proxies that have given versions of his stories have said anything about him believing Martin was armed. Almost the opposite. There was at least one claim that Martin was going for Zimmerman’s gun, and why would he do that if he had one. Why would he even engage in an assault on Zimmerman if he was armed (assuming he did so)?
What I find strange is that Zimmerman is testifying at the hearing and talking to everybody. This guy desperately needs a good lawyer who will put a muzzle on him.
Exactly. It’s rather telling when people will believe anything that supports Team Trayvon, demand official evidence foritems that don’t support Team Trayvon, and think that such items only really further support Team Trayvon if you just look at them right.
