STORY: George Zimmerman Reenacts The Night He Shot Trayvon Martin
The new evidence has been made public, as Zimmerman’s defense website say they will file a Notice of Reciprocal Discovery.
Among the new evidence are recorded statements from Zimmerman taken after he shot and killed Trayvon Martin.
In the hour long interrogation video, Zimmerman talks to investigators about the initial moment he came face to face with Trayvon, saying:
“And like I said I was already passed that so I didn’t see exactly where he came from, but he was about where you were and I said ‘I don’t have a problem,’ and I went to go grab my cell phone but my, I left it in a different pocket, and I looked down in my pants pocket and he said ‘You got a problem now.’ And then he was here and he punched me in the face.”
At the 1 hour and 4 minute mark of the video Zimmerman, while hooked up to a lie detector answers two crucial questions verifying his version of the shooting encounter with Trayvon.
Sanford Police Investigator William Ervin asked-
“Did you confront the guy you shot?” . “No,” he replied.
After a few obvious questions, Ervin asks: “Were you in fear for your life when you shot the guy?
Zimmerman doesn’t hesitate, “No.”
It was revelaed in interviews with Sanford Police Investigator Chris Serino later that Zimmerman passed the test.
Zimmerman was charged on April 11 with second-degree murder in the death of Trayvon. He has pleaded not guilty and is currently sitting in the Seminole County jail in solitary confinement after his bond was revoked earlier this month. He has a bail hearing set for June 29th.
