more docs released last night.
orlando sentinel is reviewing them:
---------------------------
The evidence was released through the website Zimmerman's attorneys set up for their client, Gzlegalcase.com.
Hours after the shooting, Sanford Police Det. Chris Serino does most of the talking during an interview with Zimmerman where he tries to get a full picture of what happened.
He says things like "You saw a suspicious person, you called the police, you followed him," and then this exchange:
"He mounted you basically, and he started to beat upon you?" Serino asked.
"Yes sir," Zimmerman replied.
"At what point did you draw your weapon?"
"After he hit my head against the concrete several times, uh, I yelled out for help," Zimmerman said.
"Who yelled out for help?" Serino asked.
"I did. And he tried to smother my mouth and my nose. When he did that I tried to slide out and squirm and I realized my shirt came up and I felt him slide his hand toward my right side, and he said 'you're gonna die, (expletive),'" Zimmerman said.
Serino: "So he was going for your gun?"
"Yes sir."
Serino asks about the gun and ammunition.
"I think it was hollow point," Zimmerman said.
"What happened then?"
"I shot him."
Zimmerman says he was on top of Trayvon after he shot him and spread Trayvon's hands away from his body because the teenager was still talking.
"You're gonna have anxiety over this and nightmares and everything else, so you're probably gonna have a hard time with this whole thing," Serino said. "I'm here for that."
"He told me he was gonna kill me," Zimmerman said at the end of the six-minute recording.
"Exactly, he said he was gonna kill you," Serino said.
Check back for updates.
