Also, a second ambulance was originally called for Zimmerman (first one was for Trayvon's corpse), but then cancelled:

Which doesn't help the claim that Zimmerman was seriously injured.

I wonder how "temporary" the Sanford Police Chief's stepping down from his position is going to be.

I think Trayvon's father would know his son's voice. When they played him the tape, he said that the voice yelling for help was not Trayvon. Later he changed his mind but he likely changed his mind after he realized that it would hurt his case if he admitted that it was the other guy that was screaming for help.

I'm certainly no expert on voice recognition but I am still pretty skeptical that they could tell whether it was Zimmerman by comparing his "speaking voice" with his "screaming for help voice". Even from what the article said, it is certainly not an exact science like DNA. It will be interesting to see if any other voice recognition experts come forward and have the opposite opinion of the experts cited in the article.

It is certainly possible that Zimmerman is lying and that he is the one that initiated the physical confrontation. Then maybe when he was losing the fight, he pulled out his gun and shot Trayvon. I can't totally rule that out. If that is what happened then that would not be self-defense. That would probably be manslaughter. But even if that is what happened, they still have to prove it. They have to come up with some evidence that shows that Zimmerman's version of what happened is false.
