    People have overlooked how Z straight up lied the first time he spoke in court. During the apology (or whatever label you wish to use) he stated:

    "I did not know how old he was. I thought he
    was a little bit younger than I was, and I did not know if he was armed or
    not."
    http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/20/justice/florida-zimmerman-details/index.html

    He claims he didn't know Trayvon's age and thought he was just a "little bit younger" than he was. Z is 28 so that means Z claimed at the bond hearing Trayvon was approximately 25 years old. I guess Z forgot we have him on a recorded call saying Trayvon was in his "late teens."

    From transcript:

    Z: "About like his late teens."
    http://phoebe53.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/zimmerman-911-call-transcript-trayvon-martin/

    The operator confirms "late teens" and Z answered in the affirmative.

    I've no doubt some of Z's supporters will try to claim he didn't lie but Z's recorded words leave no spin room. Only the room spinning for Z's defense.

    His lawyer will be crucified later on for allowing this to happen at a bond hearing.

    In the same call Zimmerman referred to Martin as a "kid"

    Agreed

    How do you know what age Zimmerman meant by " a little younger than me"?

    Oh...more of those vaunted "mind reading skills " again, we see.

    Well, now that the prosecution has ALREADY ADMITTED that it CANNOT REFUTE that Zimmerman was attacked by Martin walking back to his truck, or that Martin threw the first punch, we kind of expected ditzy Trayvonite Desperation Threads to start popping up, and what's a Trayvonite Completely Made Up Bullcrap Thread without some "mind reading"...right?

    Enjoy your fantasy circle jerk...:giggle:

    Since he never cited an exact age this parsing is beyond laughable.

    "A little bit younger" is legally undefinable, and any 1st year law student would laugh you out of court for trying.

    By the way, show me where Zimmerman "claimed Trayvon was approximately 25 years old" <-----(That's perjury ;) )

    You are mistaken, Stryker.

    GZ first saw TM at night from a distance and at first thought Trayvon was in his "late teens". This is what he said in his recorded call.

    Later, when Trayvon doubled back and attack him, GZ thought TM was approximately 25 years old from his size and from the power with which he hit him with his fists before GZ could legally defend himself against TMs physical aggression.


    Nice try, but no cigar!

    Wait a minute! You're forgetting Sky's much-ballyhooed mind reading powers, with which he determined that Zimmerman meant approx. "25 years old"....an AMAZING talent, that is....

    My mother has referred to 20-year-olds as "kids" since she was about 35. So what?

    Like I said, some Z supporters will flat out claim he didn't lie. There is no way a "little bit younger" covers the span of almost a decade.

    I was expecting you guys to play this bit so I was prepared to point out Z claimed on the stand he didn't know how old Trayvon was. Technically true because he didn't know his exact age was 17 but he had no problem saying Trayvon was in his "late teens." That proves his claim on the stand he had no idea of Trayvon's age as completely false.

    Now find a way to try and say Z didn't lie while also claiming you aren't defending him.

    Z is 28 and when he claimed he thought Trayvon was a "little bit" younger than him that contradicts his recorded call saying Trayvon was in his late teens.

    Nobody can actually successfully claim a "little bit" younger covers almost a decade time span. B

    This is the first time in two months Z gave anything contradictory regarding his assumed age of Trayvon. But hey, since you will falsely claim Trayvon double backed and attacked Z, nothing is a surprise.

    Did you or did you not fallaciously and maliciously imply that Zimmerman claimed "Trayvon looked approximately 25 years old"?

    You're on thin ice, councelor....(If I were the judge presiding over your sloppy prosecution, I would lock you up for a week. :) )

    Great point!! Thank you. So who wants to try and argue a "little bit younger" qualifies as more than a decade????

    Z is 28. He said on the stand he thought Trayvon was a "little bit younger" than him. Tell us, what age range was he referencing?

    It's obvious a "little bit younger" is referencing s few years hence approximately 25. But entertain us and say a little bit younger is more than a decade.......

    I don't know what the age part has to do with the shooting. What ever age he thought he was, it makes little difference to what happened.

    I realized Zimmerman's discrepancy when I heard him speak live.

    When you are 6'3, and its dark and you are concealing yourself, age means nothing. Grasping much?

    Councelor, this is YOUR prosecution and YOUR assertion, I, as the presiding judge cannot compel the defense to make your case for you...

    proceed...carefully...my patience is wearing thin :)

    Obviously Z tried to defend his actions partially on the claim he thought Trayvon was a little bit younger but we know this is false by his recorded call. Age difference does not matter. It does matter Z lied.

    The other thing that hurt him is saying he didnt know if Trayvon was armed or not. If he was really taking the life threatening beating Z claims, it wouldn't matter if he thought Trayvon was armed.

    Thank you for ignoring the contents of the post. It helps prove you know there is no way in hell a little bit younger can qualify as more than a decade.
