Snip from 911 call:
How old would you say he is?
Zimmerman: "Late teens".
Zimmerman in Apology: "I did not know how old he was, I thought he was a little younger than I am".
Completely lies through his teeth and the defense missed this completely. WTF?

He has pretty much established himself as a liar. And he's had lots of assistance

The MSM doesn't miss things like this. They are brighter than the average bear.

No need to object there. And he clearly lied under oath.

Even if Zimmerman thought Martin was 19-years-old (the latest of late teens), the difference is still over 30%.
A "little younger" would be closer to 10% at their age, in my opinion.

from his own family & from his "character witnesses" (Joe Oliver, Frank Taaffe) speaking out to the media.

Prosecution might not have missed it.
But the MSM sure did.

Their existence ... and 6 figures salaries ... in the 24/7 media world is creating controversy, whipping up the fearful "lizard-brain", not clearing it up.
Journalistic Integrity is about as much an oxymoron as Military Intelligence. Not to say it doesn't exist, just that it's rare.
