I wonder if these facts coincide with Zimmerman's ever-developing and
changing alibi.

Fact #1 - Trayvon Martin was doing NOTHING wrong. Looking inside cars
parked along the street is not unusual behavior for a young teen-ager,
especially if you don't have a car of your own. Boys look at cars all
the time.

This isn't a fact. This is a supposition.

Fact #2 - Martin was UNARMED.

Stipulated.

Fact #3 - Zimmerman called 911 to report what he claimed was a
suspicious person.

Stipulated.

Fact #4 - The Sanford Police Department told Zimmerman NOT to pursue
Martin and to wait in his vehicle for the responding officer.

Stipulated.

Fact #5 - Zimmerman ignored the SPD and CHASED Martin down.

Not a fact, but likely true.

Fact #6 - Zimmerman was slurring his speech (noted by witnesses and 911
operator) was possibly intoxicated. SPD NEVER bothered to test.

Sloppy police work. Why? I don't know, but I hope this is explained
by the Federal investigation.

Fact #7 - Zimmerman is heard on the 911 tape saying what sounds like
"****ing Coon"

The same people that can hear that "fact" also receive messages from
playing Beatles records backwards. Audio experts have determined that
no such words were on the tape.

Fact #8 - There may have been a physical altercation and, according to
some witness statements, Trayvon Martin was winning.

Well, this muddies the waters, huh?

Fact #9 - Zimmerman shot Martin.

Stipulated.

Fact #10 - Out just today, the lead investigator on the scene the night
of the shooting wanted to arrest Zimmerman for manslaughter, but was
overruled by state officials.

Another issue to be answered by the Feds.

Fact #11 - Zimmerman has been arrested TWICE in the past for violent
crimes. Once in 2005, for assaulting a police officer (plead down to
resisting arrest) and once in 2007, for domestic violence.

Stipulated. And looks bad, as it establishes a pattern of behavior.

Conjecture...the blood on Zimmerman may have been Martin's.

Conjecture is worthless... and oh, by the way, this is NOT a Time
Line.

Why don't we stop trying this case from the arm chair and wait for the
professionals to release the REAL facts?

Well, it's more fun, for some, to pretend they know it all. But, you've proposed a great idea!
