[quote=Anonymous]Still trying to keep an open mind but things are not adding up here.  Saw Zimmerman's brother on Piers Morgan's show on CNN last night. Previously the brother had described George as being beaten so badly he nearly passed out and came within an inch of losing his life. Morgan confronted him with the surveillance video which shows George in rather good shape for someone who has been beaten so badly.  (Not saying he didn't have injuries but that he looked rather spry as he moved through the room and you would have expected him to be limping or something.)

So then the brother says what happened was that Trayvon pushed his hand(s) over George's nose and mouth so that George couldn't breathe and so George thought he was going to die and that's why he shot Trayvon.  So, suddenly a new bit of information about the struggle emerges.  Which leads to the following questions:

Why are we only hearing about that now after the appearance of the surveillance video? This suggests that they're fishing around for some kind of new story, since they didn't talk about this before the video emerged.

The brother also believes that George was the person crying for help on the 911 tape. So how can you both cry for help [i]and[/i] have someone's hand closing off your nose and mouth so that you can't breathe?

Then again I haven't listened to the 911 call since I had that thought.  I suppose it's possible that George called for help and [i]then[/i] Trayvon put his hand over George's face - but if there was a delay between the calls for help and the gunshot, it couldn't have been more than 2 or 3 seconds. If that delay exists, it's not long enough to convince me that a normal person would have thought they wouldn't be able to breathe.

And suddenly it makes Trayvon Martin into this incredibly strong aggressive guy - that he can overpower George Zimmerman so effectively and cut off his ability to breathe just by covering his nose and mouth.  Not saying that can't be done - just that I doubt a teenager is practiced and accurate at that kind of technique.

It just doesn't add up but I'll be looking forward to seeing the case being put forth by both sides about this.  In the meantime, the Zimmerman family might do better to not talk so much in the media.[/quote]
