    Never, ever, once said thug. I'm no thug. You're better than that.

    Was it meant to? Or was it meant as another small piece in a very big puzzle?

    There is some good stuff on Page 2 about the witness statements that were being cited to exonerate Zimmerman.

    Police have said that Austin Brown, 13, who went out to walk his dog near where Trayvon was shot, saw Zimmerman lying in the grass crying for help just before the slaying.

    But Austin’s mom, Cheryl Brown, told The News that when cops interviewed her son eight days after Trayvon’s death, he told them he saw only one person lying in the grass and he couldn’t tell who it was because it was too dark.

    “He said he couldn’t see the race or anything. He never saw a second person,” Brown said.

    “Then they asked him if he saw what the man was wearing. They gave him a multiple-choice question and gave him three colors. He said, ‘I think it was red.’” Zimmerman was wearing a red and black jacket. Trayvon was wearing a gray hoodie.

    “Knowing my son, I believe he felt pressured to give the color,” Brown said.

    A new witness interviewed on CNN cast doubt on Zimmerman’s story, saying that he looked out his window, glimpsed two men scuffling in the dark, heard “an excruciating kind of yell” and saw what he thought was Zimmerman on top of Trayvon.

    “After the larger man got off, then there was a boy, obviously now dead, on the ground, facing down,” the witness told CNN.

    “After the shot, one man got up,” the man said. “He was walking towards where I was watching and I could see him a little bit clearer, and see that he was a Hispanic man and he was, you know, he didn’t appear hurt or anything else, he just seemed very worried.”

    In the spirit of equal time: Zimmerman's brother defends him.

    ijag, I was completely joking. I only used "skulk" to go with thug because I remembered it being used on this thread. Didn't even remember it was you. Nothing personal.
