George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch crime captain who shot dead 17-
year
-old Trayvon Martin, originally told police in a written statement that
Martin knocked him down with a punch to the nose, repeatedly slammed his
head on the ground and tried to take his gun, a police source told ABC
News.
Zimmerman had claimed he had called police about Martin, whom he found
suspicious, then went back to his car when Martin attacked him, punching
him.
The new information is the most complete version yet of what Zimmerman
claims happened on the night of Feb. 26 when he shot and killed the
teenager.
In addition, an eyewitness, 13-year-old Austin Brown, told police he saw
a
man fitting Zimmerman's description lying on the grass moaning and
crying
for help just seconds before he heard the gunshot that killed Martin.
The initial police report noted that Zimmerman was bleeding from the
back of
the head and nose, and after medical attention it was decided that he
was
in good enough condition to travel in a police cruiser to the Sanford,
Fla.,
police station for questioning. He was not arrested.
Martin's girlfriend had said in a recording obtained exclusively by ABC
News
that she heard Martin ask Zimmerman "why are your following me, and
then
the man asked, what are you doing around here." She then heard a scuffle
break out and the line went dead.
Phone records obtained by ABC News show that the girl, who is 16 and
asked
to remain anonymous, called Martin at 7:12 p.m., five minutes before
police
arrived, and remained on the phone with Martin until moments before he
was
shot.
ABC News has also learned that Martin was staying in Sanford at the time
because he'd been suspended from Krop High School in Miami after being
found
with an empty bag of marijuana. He was staying at his father's fiance's
house in Sanford.
Family spokesperson Ryan Julison confirmed to ABC News that Martin was
suspended for an "empty baggy that had contained pot."
"It's irrelevant to what happened on Feb. 26, does not change material
facts
of the situation, specifically that had George Zimmerman not left his
vehicle and heeded the police dispatcher's guidance, we wouldn't be here
today," Julison said.
During Zimmerman's call to 911, the dispatcher asked him if he was
following
the teen. When Zimmerman replied that he was, the dispatcher said, "We
don'
t need you to do that."
The new information in the emotionally charged case could complicate
pressing charges against Zimmerman, which one veteran prosecutor has
already
said could be difficult.
"The stand-your-ground law is one portion of justifiable use of deadly
force
," veteran State Attorney Angela Corey told ABC News. "And what that
means
is that the state must go forward and be able to prove it's case beyond
a
reasonable doubt… So it makes the case in general more difficult than a
normal criminal case."
Zimmerman shot Martin dead the night of Feb. 26 after following him for
several minutes. Zimmerman told police Martin looked suspicious because
he
was wearing a hoodie, and when he confronted him the two fought --
ultimately resulting in a single bullet in Martin's chest. |
