walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

For what it's worth, I think those police photos were taken around midnight. The 45 minutes is when George arrived at the police station. The photos were taken about 3 or 4 hours later.

Thanks for the clarification, Adub.

That makes me believe even less that George's claim of being punched around 25 times is accurate.

If he'd been punched in the face that many times, I think it would be all the more apparent after a few hours than after 45 minutes (with more time for bruising and swelling to set in).

For thread accuracy, correction to post #2043

^ After the incident, pic shot by on-scene police officer's cell phone:
This looks to me like someone who got punched in the nose.


^ Some time later the same night/early morning at the police station:
This does not look to me like someone who was punched in the nose 25+ times under any circumstances, much less with such force that Zimmerman thought Travyon had something in his hand at the time (per his videotaped police interview that night).
