Yesterday there were new developments is the Trayvon Martin case.\u00a0 In the first, new video of George Zimmerman belies the Zimmerman account.\u00a0 There are no signs of injury, no grass stains, and no blood.\u00a0 I\u2019m sorry, but you don\u2019t shoot someone, who is sitting on top of you, in the chest without getting doused in blood in the process.\u00a0 In the second, we learned that the senior State Attorney, Norman Wolfinger, and the Sanford Police Chief were at the crime scene on the night of the shooting, and that it was the States Attorney, who decided to release Zimmerman.\u00a0 Such high ranking personnel at the crime scene of what was, at the time, a very low profile case, is unheard of.\u00a0 I have a guess as to why.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"29Zimmerman\"Newly emerged video reportedly shot by surveillance cameras at the Sanford, Fla., Police Department on the night of the Trayvon Martin shooting offers the public the first look at Martin\u2019s assailant, George Zimmerman, on the night of the shooting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

ABC News, which obtained the video and released it Wednesday night, said it shows \u201cno blood or bruises<\/strong>\u201d on the handcuffed, trim- and muscular-looking suspect as he steps out of the back of a police cruiser, is frisked by an officer and walks escorted into the police building.<\/p>\n

The quality of the video is not very high, but it appears to suggest that if Zimmerman was injured that night, the injuries were not serious\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lawrence O’Donnel covered the developments in five segments. Here are the first and the last. In both he discusses the new evidence with panels of experts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now to me it seems incredible that the States Attorney of Florida could have ordered Zimmerman released, after being at the scene, hearing Zimmerman\u2019s story, and seeing that the physical evidence and that story were irreconcilable.\u00a0 So why did Wolfinger do it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, I have no hard evidence to support this hypothesis, so I am not claiming that it is accurate.\u00a0 However, I have thought of no other scenario that fits the evidence.\u00a0 Remember, Norman Worfinger works directly for Republican Florida Governor, Teabagger and Koch sucker extraordinaire, Rick Scott.\u00a0 Scott has been a willing pawn of the NRA and ALEC, the authors and prognosticators of the so-called Stand Your Ground<\/em> law.\u00a0 It just may be that the presence of such high ranking individuals and the subsequent attempt at coverup were not to protect Zimmerman at all.\u00a0 It just may be that they were an attempt to derail an investigation that could be used to demonstrate why their kill first, ask later<\/em> legislation is such a bad law and interfere with the Republican campaign to institute it nationwide.\u00a0 There may be some other explanation, but I haven\u2019t seen it yet.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
