That is each “story” is blatantly false. Tawana said that she was held at a cabin by police officers and used as their sex slave. So the assailants would have known the penalties for kid napping and rape, but after smearing Tawana with dog feces and writting racial slurs on her skin, they were kind enough to drop her off at her house. Mario Coumo was so involved with himself that the inherent ridiculousness of Tawana’s story was no apparent to him. The New york Times pursued the story for months.

In Zimmerman’s case, we know that Zimmerman was talking to the police who knew who he was. The police said a car was dispatched to his location. Then according to Charles Ogletree, the renowned Harvard professor, Zimmerman pursued Martin and shot him dead. Really? That is preposterous. If Zimmerman had a visible gun in his hand, how did he get the bloody nose and the wounds to the back of his head?
