It’s time to separate the fact from fiction when it comes to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin – as new evidence, video and experts surface everyday to refute George Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense.
STORY: George Zimmerman To Turn Himself In
It’s important to root through all the B.S. and focus on the facts of what happened the night Zimmerman killed Trayvon.

All we have are the 911 calls, numerous witness accounts told to cable TV organizations, what the Sanford police reported and information from Zimmerman’s family and Trayvon’s girlfriend, who was on the phone with Trayvon in the last minutes of his life.
Here’s what we do know and can accept as fact:
On Feb 26th Trayvon was shot and killed by Zimmerman as he returned from a local 7-Eleven after buying a bag of Skittles and iced tea.
After that he was then spotted by Zimmerman while returning to his father’s girlfriend’s apartment inside their gated community when Zimmerman called 911, explaining that Trayvon, who was wearing a hoodie at the time, a pair of blue jeans, and red/white sneakers, looked suspicious.
Zimmerman then pursued Trayvon even after he was told not to by the 911 dispatcher.
When Zimmerman approached Trayvon, the two got into a scuffle, resulting in Trayvon taking a bullet to the chest at point blank range.
Zimmerman claimed that he shot Trayvon on the grounds of self-defense and has since been in hiding.
Those are the facts of the case, but with the inclusion of surveillance videos and family interviews, the facts have been distorted. Let’s take a look.
