First, the last paragraph of the affidavit reads:
The facts mentioned in this Affidavit are not a complete recitation of all the pertinent facts and evidence in this case but only are presented for determination of Probable Cause for Second Degree Murder.
Moving beyond that disclaimer and promise of more evidence, it sure looks like Angela Corey isn’t buying George Zimmerman’s version of events.
“Zimmerman disregarded the police dispatcher and continued to follow Martin who was trying to return to his home,” the document said. “Zimmerman confronted Martin and a struggle ensued.”
That account contradicts what Zimmerman’s family has said publicly. Zimmerman’s brother and father have said Zimmerman was walking back to his vehicle when Martin came up from behind and attacked him.
The document also said Zimmerman shot Martin in the chest, and later admitted to police officers he was the one who did it.
I’m not sure where this is headed or how it will turn out. It’s no secret that I’ve always had a problem with Zimmerman’s version of events, and have had trouble envisioning a scenario where Trayvon stops running away from Zimmerman, turns and starts pursuing him and then confronts him. That never made sense, and it appears the special investigators aren’t buying Zimmerman’s version either. The question is: Can they prove their claim? I’m glad that we’ll finally find out what happened in a court of law.
