From the same article

pretrial-diversion program, a scaled-down version of probation offered to nonviolent first-time offenders.

I still wonder if he was told that provided he not get in any additional trouble in a given time (2 -3 years) this would be expunged from his records.

Telling the police that Trayvon emerged from the darkness is completely different from dee dee's take which says that the 2 meet up & trayvon asks him why he's following him to which zimmerman responds WHAT ARE YOU DOING AROUND HERE?!. Then she thinks she hears " get off, get off " but that's not as certain as the previous statements.

So please... slight variation? I don't think so.

What?! When GZ told the truth about what happened it was more than just a "slight variation" of DeeDee's completely fabricated story?! How on EARTH did that happen?!

Maybe this is what you're looking for?

I really am interested in this lie you've solely been referencing for all this time.

That's it...
•The night he shot Trayvon Martin to death, police say Zimmerman told them his record was squeaky-clean. In fact, he had been charged in 2005 with resisting arrest without violence during an altercation with a state alcohol officer. Zimmerman wound up in a pretrial-diversion program, a scaled-down version of probation offered to nonviolent first-time offenders.

I remember because the officer/investigator told Tracy Martin, Zimmerman had a clean record with no arrests...they didn't even bother to check...

He had a restraining order against his ex-fiance and she had one against him. They cancel each other out and expired 6 plus years ago. All the rest are hearsay.

Maybe there's something we don't know about, we don't have all of the evidence.

You imply he broke the rules so I asked you to prove he confronted TM{snip}
con·front - Meet (someone) face to face with hostile or argumentative intent.
That is still up in the air, and hinges entirely on what DeeDee says in court, and how much weight the judge and/or jury give her testimony (how credible she comes across as).

Like Druid said above, it's also important to identify who initiated the "confrontation"

Well, I think that is pretty much cleared up now

I seriously doubt that it will be admissible as it's irrelevant to what occurred on 2/26/12. I can tell you're going to be right there with airdata, spidey, and spaciallyaware complaining that Judge Nelson shouldn't disallowed something you've determined to be of great importance in this case.

No one has ever corroborated the bouncer stuff.
Actually, this interview was just recently brought to my attention that does seem to corroborate it, at least in part. There's no mention of the party where GZ supposedly "snapped" and threw some girl, however.

This is a real interesting interview with what is reported to be one of GZ's friends. He goes into detail about the situation with the plain-clothed officer in 2005 that lead to GZ's arrest.

Also, if you listen to the earlier parts of this same interview, it appears that GZ did indeed work as a "bouncer", or performed some sort of security duties at various parties (the friend says he personally worked with George on "2 or 3") and things of that nature.

What's the difference between what your doing and the jewelry/tools meme? Aren't you both repeating rumors and half truths?

The restraining order is totally factual and not hearsay.

sound... if you don't mind?
If you don't mind returning the favor, I'd like to ask you a question. From what is known, what reason can you think of would there have been for TM to have been belting out the kind of screams heard in Witness 11's 911 call?

Here's a link to it if needed: Witness 11 - 911 Call (WAV format)

Listen particularly to the screams at 0:02, 0:14, 0:22, 0:27, and 0:34 (among others, perhaps). TM wasn't taking any damage from GZ, so if those are TM's screams, what could GZ have possibly been doing, that was doing no physical harm to TM, to procure those screams from him? The gunshot comes at 0:40.

Yup, just keep on ignoring that zimmerman saw trayvon casing houses and peering into garages.


Try that in my neighborhood and guarantee you will be "confronted" worse that trayvon.

Society is sick of thugs, sick of people 'cruising' while peering into open garages, sick of thugs slowly walking while peering between houses.

And a jury of 12?
Zimmerman saw Martin acting in a way that he interpreted as casing houses. It's also consistent with a teenager ambling along, talking on the phone, no place to go and no hurry getting there. It's worth pointing out that Zimmerman did not initially choose to confront Martin, merely called the law to come check him out. Since Zimmerman has supposedly caught a burglar here before, this tells us that Zimmerman found Martin's behavior suspicious, but not necessarily criminal.

And seriously, society is tired of people slowly walking on the sidewalks, looking at and between houses? Maybe in a war zone, but in most neighborhoods that's considered normal behavior. In my subdivision pretty much every day we have black teens walking up and down the roads at a pace I can generously call glacial; no one seems to find it odd or threatening. I suspect it was something more that caught Zimmerman's eye. Probably the dress as much as anything.

I imagine Trayvon's race influenced GZ's following him. Given te history of breakinz reportedly by black teens this is reasonable that it should.

There is no indication that when GZ was attacked he only fired upon T because he was black unless you think he would have been ok getting assaulted by a white guy.

At the end of the day GZ 's decisions were not great but Trayvon's were worse--and illegal.
One wonders if they truly do know that all those burglaries were by black teens. I believe the one burglar caught was a young black man, and I think the police attributed the break-ins to a nearby housing project which is largely black, but burglars typically don't leave a lot of racial indicators behind. ("Officer, he ate my hot wings but didn't eat my brie and crackers - obviously he's black!")

And Zim's mom is kinda black ... opps .. Afro-Peruvian
Okay, Afro-Peruvian has to be the coolest sounding racial mix ever.

With all due respect, I don't think anybody can speak about what GZ saw of TM except GZ.

Except that's not the only rule he broke...

From Sanford's NW handbook:

What you will
not do is get physically involved with any activity you report or apprehension of any suspicious persons. This is the job of the law enforcement agency

Correction... that's what YOU believe he did. Unless you're going to put the blame on him for breaking the "physically involved" part because TM decked him and got on top of him (what I believe)

All the extraneous stuff doesn't need to be included in the case.

All the evidence about events that night prove self defense, no evidence disproves self defense. It's slam dunk, should have never been arrested.

sound... if you don't mind?

No problem... sorry I missed it.

Fear from the man who was following him and questioning/confronting him for no reason. Any "minor" should be afraid of a stranger, isn't that what most parents teach their children.

And please no stupid comments about "teaching them not to viciously assault someone either".

He did leave his truck and ran/jogged towards, not away from the "suspect", that's physical involvement. He was doing the job of a real officer.

So TM was on top of GZ from the first punch till the shot? Oh yeah that's what GZ says, but the evidence of where they end up doesn't support GZ's claims.
