In apology Zimmerman says he thought Martin was his age but in 911 call he says he is "late teens"


Snip from 911 call:

How old would you say he is?

Zimmerman: "Late teens".


Zimmerman in Apology: "I did not know how old he was, I thought he was a little younger than I am".

Completely lies through his teeth and the defense missed this completely. WTF?

Even if Zimmerman thought Martin was 19-years-old (the latest of late teens), the difference is still over 30%.

A "little younger" would be closer to 10% at their age, in my opinion.

Their existence ... and 6 figures salaries ... in the 24/7 media world is creating controversy, whipping up the fearful "lizard-brain", not clearing it up.

Journalistic Integrity is about as much an oxymoron as Military Intelligence. Not to say it doesn't exist, just that it's rare.
