A day after killing Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman passed a police lie detector test when asked if he confronted the teenager and whether he feared for his life “when you shot the guy," according to documents released today by Florida prosecutors.
According to a “confidential report” prepared by the Sanford Police Department, Zimmerman willingly submitted to a computer voice stress analyzer (CVSA) “truth verification” on February 27. Investigators concluded that he “has told substantially the complete truth in regards to this examination.”
Zimmerman, the report noted, “was classified as No Deception Indicated (NDI).”
Along with questions about whether his first name was George and if it was Monday, Zimmerman was asked, “Did you confront the guy you shot?’ He answered, “No.” He was also asked, “Were you in fear for your life, when you shot the guy.” Zimmerman replied, “Yes.”

In the police audio recording, the dispatcher clearly tells Zimmerman to back off before the fatal confrontation. Zimmerman kept his pursuit active. Doesn't this tell us something about the falseness of this test?

If Zimmerman had stayed in his car and waited for the police to show up (as he was told) the boy would still be alive and none of us would have heard of this incident.
It's obvious that he rejected the advice of the police and got out of his car to confront the boy. The boy reacted in some way (probably thought that he, himself was being attacked) and Zimmerman shot him.
The boy was unarmed. Seems clear cut to me.
