Zimmerman brother just floated a new theory on Piers Morgan

When asked about the alleged beating of George's head into the pavement until he was close to being in diapers and spoon-fed for the rest of his life, he seemed to backpedal and said that Martin was smothering him and George was close to losing consciousness and once unconscious who knows what Trayvon would ahve done.

It explains the lack of apparent injury to George on the video 37 minutes later.

How convenient.

Apparently, he was screaming with his last breath while being smothered into unconsciousness.

because a witness said there was screaming up until the shot was fired.

Someone that is being smothered can not scream.


Just seen the below tweet on Twitter...

ThinkProgress ‏ @thinkprogress

On CNN, Robert Zimmerman claims Trayvon was "using his entire body weight to cover the mouth" of his brother. If true, how was he screaming?

I don't recall hearing Trayvon was walking down the street holding a big, fluffy pillow.

If they keep this up, no attorney will want to represent them.

This is standard spin. If my sister stalked and gunned down an unarmed kid, I might spin for her too. I'd be disgusting, but blood is thicker, sometimes.

The family and friends need to get off the TV and stay away from computers.

They are doing George Zimmerman more harm than good.

The talk about someone's body preventing the Neighborhood Watch person with the gun from breathing was just hypothetical as I understood it. I don't think that George's brother was claiming that is what happened. He was just talking about what could have happened.

Get this guy off the TV. It is irresponsible to even invite him to speak. He doesn't know what he is talking about.

It is natural that a brother wants to defend his brother, but in this case that is not the way to help out.

will be something to the effect that Trayvon was pouring iced tea down GZs throat, and the screaming sound was extra loud gargling...
