The purpose is to focus on only his written statement on the night of the shooting since it is his first recorded narrative. Keeping in mind it was written only a couple of hours after the gunshot helps show how his credibility is hammered by his own recorded words.
(not in chronological order of events)
1. TM ran away twice while he was on the phone with dispatch. (recorded call has GZ exiting his vehicle when TM ran proving he did not disappear twice)
2. He claims when dispatch asked for a description of the "suspect" he said he didn't know. (RC has him describing TM as a black male in his late teens)
3. Claims when dispatch asked for the direction he ran that he didn't know. (RC has him clearly stating without hesitation he ran towards the back entrance, and he said it twice.)
4. Claims he could not remember the name of the street he was on when dispatch asked for his location. (RC has him stating the street name and address before dispatch even asked for an address)
5. Claims he exited his vehicle after TM ran only because he couldn't remember the street name. (again, he had already given it twice to dispatch)
6. Claims he was headed back to his truck after dispatch told him not to follow TM but why? (he never planned to meet the cops at his truck and even declined a meeting location in lieu of the cops calling his cell when they arrived. he didn't know where he would be because he planned to keep looking for TM)
7. Claims that after TM ran away the first time he returned and circled his vehicle. (RC has no mention of this at all and he certainly would have told dispatch if TM got close enough to circle his vehicle.
8. Claims the reason for the call was break ins and specifically a female neighbor. (later he claims it was because TM was in Taafe's yard)
9. Claims TM was looking into houses. (RC places TM at the clubhouse)
10. Claims he was only able to say one word ("No") before TM hit him. (at least three witnesses heard arguing before the fight proving he said more than one word)
11. Claims after the gunshot he held TM's hands away from his body until he saw a cop show up. (the police reports say TM's hands were under his body and TM was already dead and dead people can't usually move their hands under their body after they are dead.)
12. Claims he told a witness after the gunshot he had already called the cops. (witness states he asked for the cops to be called)
13. Claims TM was on top of him until he shot him. (two witnesses saw only one person on the ground before the gunshot)
14. Claims TM held his hands over his mouth and nose stopping him from breathing (911 call has no muffled cries for help and the cries are consistent. Also, there was no blood or DNA from GZ on TM's hands)
There may be more but those are the ones I see. All of these errors in this single statement that was made right after the shooting helps prove he lied about what happened thus inadvertently confessing to an unjustified shooting.
