Global News Can't Get a Few Simple Facts Right

It's almost impossible to count all the errors and omissions in this 'timeline' of the Trayvon Martin case provided by Global News. But here goes, in order:

1. The 'stand your ground' law has nothing to do with the case. Zimmerman claims he was knocked to the ground and pinned down. In other words, he had no option to retreat anywhere. His story falls under the rubric of a standard self-defence case.
2. Zimmerman doesn't simply 'claim' to have acted in self-defence. Eyewitnesses support his story and the physical evidence - mud on the back of his coat, a bloody nose, and contusions on the back of his head - back up his story.
3. The timeline refers to a 'possible racist remark' on the 911 tape when this has now been discounted by just about everyone, including the prosecutors.
4. The security tape mentioned at March 28 of the timeline was first reported to show no injuries to Zimmerman. But later and most detailed analysis shows it did.

After this point, it gets too boring and complex to recount all of the problems with the timeline. The whole thing is so random and slapdash one wonders if it was written by an intern, or the president of the news division's niece.
