If Zimmerman had been arrested, he would not have been able to...

.....concoct a story, conspire with his wife, allegedly have her treat him for his injuries (thereby opening an opportunity for deceit), and so on.

The Sanford police did great harm to the pursuit of justice for Trayvon by not arresting and holding Zimmerman immediately after the crime was committed.

1. You got that right.

However, it is going to be impossible for any jury member to ignore the big picture; the crux of the entire case hinges on common sense. If Zimmerman had done what the 911 dispatcher advised him to do, there would have been no murder (or alleged confrontation).

2. And if he had been arrested from the onset he would not have ...

had the publicity that he's gotten - no one would know his name - so he wouldn't have been able to have raised the $250,000.00 online like he has.

4. "Treat for injuries"

As in, inflict them.

Just like in "Scream" where the killers stab each other to pretend they're survivors.

9. Someone should write a book on this very subject.

i.e. "Just like in "Scream" where the killers stab each other to pretend they're survivors."

This is shit we ALL need to know, just to survive the next 10 years.

5. He would also

. . . not have had the chance to wash his hands, thereby invalidating any paraffin test to ascertain at what angle he held the gun. That would have helped in establishing whether he was really having his head slammed into the concrete at the time he fired.

7. Huh?

Do you think all of that happened before Zimmerman got taken into custody?

The police arrived on the scene about half a minute after Trayvon was shot and questioned Zimmerman then and treated his injuries and then took him down to the station for more questioning.

That's my understanding. So I don't get where your storyline is coming from.

12. Quite correct
