That Zimmerman said that he had no clue where he was (which street) and while being interviewed by the cops blurted it out. There are 3 streets in his neighbourhood and he's lived there 4 years. It is impossible that you wouldn't know exactly where you are.
Additionally, he said Martin Jumped out of the bushes and starting fighting him. Problem is, there are no bushes at all in the area.
He embellished how much was hit. Travon had the same build/size my brother had when he was a teenager at that age, so I can understand roughly how strong he would be give or take. If he slammed someone's head into concrete 25 times as zimmerman claimed, not only would he be dead, but his skull/brain would be a mushy paste. Similarly, if he was punched in the face 25 times, his face would be similarly disfigured. The medical examiners said that he got hit in the face and head once each, maybe twice at most.
There are other inconsistencies like him saying he was getting choked by Travon with both hands, and at the same time was apparently reaching behind himself and under Zimmerman for his gun (It was on his back on the right) where it was under clothing and concealed from view. Additionally, the gun and holster were black and it was after dark at the time, making it even more difficult to see.
He made a story that absolved himself of blame as he was aware of the stand you ground law. He made it up. Lying about what happened in such a manner usually means you are guilty.
