I never heard that. It wasn't even in the testimony as far as I know.
nobody knows when the gun came out. Zimm said tray's knees were under his armpits, so the belief is that he drew it once trayvon started to stand up to escape.
The way he initially described it was physically impossible. You can't draw a gun from rear hip when straddled as he described. Trayvon probably wanted to get the heck outta there, and when he unpinned zimmerman, then zimm drew.
We can argue if it was legal, it may have been. BUT lying about it - he saw my gun, he reached for my gun, he grabbed my gun, have all been different versions - well, in florida, when you lie about the circumstances, a legal shoot becomes an illegal shoot very quickly.
IF zimmerman is found guilty, it will be due to these lies - nothing more. His own lawyer admitted it, and it was the main focus of the closing arguments. yeah he lied, BUT it was still legal. Well, in Florida, that's a stretch.
