Pffft, just have McGee and Abby work it over in the lab. Geez, do I have to do all the thinking around here?
I would love to work it over with Abby in the lab..

It will help frame the timeline for the jury. The receipt/video tells us whether or not M was there, and if so, at what time.
There is zero evidence so far that Martin commited any crime that warranted Zimmerman's attention. I don't see how receipt/video can help or harm Martin or Zimmerman.
Dale, you miss the point. We want the 7-11 video of Martin in the store because we want to see whether he looks like the type we're afraid of: young black males in a hoodie.

Sure, it's a possibility he was up to no good. I've not seen any proof that he was. I personally would not get involved in a situation unless I saw a crime in progress. My livelihood is not worth risking on someone who "might" be committing a crime. If there was evidence that Zimmerman confronted Martin while he was committing a crime, this thread probably wouldn't exist. As it stands, about the only thing that can fully exonerate Zimmerman is if the forensics bear out his story.
ETA: Regarding the criminal case, Zimmerman has zero responsibility of proving his innocence. It's fully up to the state to prove his guilt.
apparent you do not know what TiVO is...
According to what I've read, Martin was walking in between houses and not on the street or sidewalk, and looking around as though he might be 'casing' houses to rob. Given the rash of break ins the subdivision had been recently having, Zimmerman probably had cause to think that Martin might not be kosher. This is the job of the neighborhood watch. To watch for shady looking people they don't know and call the police. And the point of the lack of video is that if he wasn't going to 7-11 like he was supposedly, then he lied about where he was going. This means nothing in and of itself, but just adds another element that suggests that maybe this kid (who apparently has a history of crime) was indeed a suspicious looking character. Do you at least acknowledge that this might be the case? I mean I'll admit that maybe he didn't look suspicious, and Zimmerman overreacted. However, you should admit that it's entirely possible that Martin was exhibiting suspicious behavior that caused Zimmerman to take note of him.
You may have your story of getting followed by a creep, but I've got mine of getting carjacked, beaten, and shot by black teenagers. Frankly, I will NEVER second guess someone's being suspicious of urban looking youth.
How many people TiVo live sports? If you are a real sports fan, you do not TiVo it, you can't, it is not the same thing as watching it live.
I do it all the time. Pause it if you have to run to the crapper/ get something to eat then you can also skip the commercials and you really catchup in no time, esp football and baseball.
Not exactly. After three weeks the investigation was complete. They didn't like the results, so then called in Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.Didn't the Martin family call some people with political clout to get this case moving forward?
I've read in a couple of places that the game didn't actually begin until 8pm, 45 minutes after Tray was shot. I don't follow basketball so I don't know. But since ultimately it didn't make any difference I never pursued it.How many people TiVo live sports?

Sure, you should wait till they actually kill your kid, or steal your car, or kick in your front door, or whaterever else they looked like they were about to do. You know, because you cant be 100% sure thats what they were going do.
Me? I am going to let someone who I think is acting suspiciously know that they are being watched. That may be all the deterrent that is needed.
