e surveillance tape of George Zimmerman made barely half an hour after the shooting, obtained exclusively by ABC News from the Sanford Police Department, could be used as evidence, if Zimmerman is brought up on charges, sources tell ABC News.

The Sanford Police Department video begins at 7:52 p.m., about 35 minutes after the shooting, as Zimmerman arrives at the station. It shows Zimmerman's head and face as he gets out of a police car.

Joy, in the video, it shows an officer specifically looking at something on the back of his head.  We do not know what is or isn't there from the quality of the video, IMO.  And, like I mentioned before, any broken nose or injury similar, the black eyes I would expect to see didn't appear until about the next day.  If the video is about an hour later, I wouldn't expect to see that yet.

Yes, the officer looks at the back of his head. I don't discount that.

But, the video evidence doesn't support the claims of a brutal a$$whoopin, worthy of killing your opponent. JMO, of course.

 

In my heart, I feel Zimmerman will get away with the killing of Trayvon. And that breaks my heart.

I don't think anyone wants to see someone die, let alone like this.  But I can not and will not convict someone based on erratic, selective "reporting", along with the perception that unarmed means not dangerous.  We do not know what happened; we only have some versions, which may or may not be skewed.

 

I heard something about the officer who first reponded, or one of them, thought charges should have been brought instantly, and the Prosecutor felt there wasn't enough evidence to charge.  Unfortunatly that is their discrection. Just as I was not happy with the Casey Anthony verdict, some will not be happy with this outcome.  But due to the uproar, I sincerely feel there is no chance of "fair" trial. 

True.  Facial contusions don't appear immediately.  For anyone has been told "wait for tomorrow's black eyes to appear".   We know someone is dead.  We know someone shot him.  That is all.  Zimmerman has been convicted, tried and found guilty in the court of public opinion.  Moreso, the shooter is white and the victim is black so we all know this is racially motivated and happened because Trayvon looks like Obama (which Obama did say).  Like the Atlanta bomber and the Duke lacrosse team, we should wait until all the facts are in.  The video could be damaging, but more is needed.  The funeral director's testimony probably won't mean much in court.

I understand Z's father & brother wanting to defend his honor. But, his father should really know better than to make statements that contradict the 911 tape, as you said.

I don't think Zimmerman will ever go thru the judicial process.

Sadly for Trayvon, he did..  presided over by Geo Zimmerman. Trayvon was found guilty, and summarily executed.
