You're focusing on the wrong detail. The key part of their statement being that whatever screaming there was ended immediately with a gunshot, and that following the shot they witnessed Zimmerman kneeling on top of the slain Martin.Juggernaut Nihilism wrote:Mary Cutcher and her roommate did not see the incident. They heard screams that they thought sounded like they were coming from a "little boy". Neither of the two were little boys, and the neighbor's 911 call, in which the screams can be heard in the background, demonstrates that the screams didn't sound like they were coming from a little boy, but a grown man (which means they could have been coming from either Martin or Zimmerman). Cutcher coming out and being so certain they were coming from Martin, even going so far as to say they were coming from a "little boy" when they clearly were not, muddies her testimony, IMO, and suggests she saw the 5 year old picture of Martin being thrown around and tried to color her story. Listen to the neighbor's 911 call, those screams may have been either person, but they are certainly not the screams of a child.
Video is not "conjecture." What I think you mean to say is that the lack of evident injury on the video, and my subsequent inference that his injuries were exaggerated or nonexistent, is conjecture. Eventual testimony my medical professionals will clarify this, unless there isn't any, which would also clarify the issue somewhat.As far as Zimmerman's condition, he reportedly had a broken nose and a cut on the back of his head. Maybe it would have been politically intelligent of him to not wipe his face and make sure he looked as beat up as possible for the cameras, but you don't have to look like the elephant man to have a broken nose and cut back there. That video is meaningless conjecture.
So far there is no hard evidence of these injuries at all.
Given that one person was killed, I would say we know something serious went down.The screams on that neighbor's 911 call before the shots seem to prove that something serious was going down, one way or the other.
