As a person who has not been trying to follow the case.

1) We have zimmerman's testimony and a police call stating he was stalking martin
2) We have Zimmerman's testimony that Martin started the fight.
a) Assuming Zimmerman's testimony is the truth. Zimmerman was stalking Martin in the rain. When a stranger is stalking you in the rain, you are going to fight or flee. If a fight breaks out that doesn't mean you should get shot, ironically Martin stood his ground if Zimmerman is telling the the truth of who started the fight.
b) If Zimmerman is lying and he started the fight, he stalked and shot an unarmed man.

In neither situation did Zimmerman perform self defense for his actions caused the conflict to start, and they were a logical conclusion of his actions.

I'm not sure someone being punished excessively is a good reason to mimic it - 09/07/2013 10:26:51 PM 582 Views

All right, let's talk about Yoda, this so-called 'wise' Jedi Grandmaster - 11/07/2013 01:34:57 AM 539 Views

It is a time-honoured US criminal justice tradition after all - 10/07/2013 10:06:35 PM 507 Views
The prosecution has been terrible in this case. It reminds me of the OJ prosecution. - 10/07/2013 10:58:50 PM 521 Views

Yeah, but you are forgetting something rather important - 11/07/2013 06:41:54 PM 610 Views
I am sorry but that is not quite true - 11/07/2013 07:10:19 PM 613 Views
Go review the timeline it is available online. *NM* - 11/07/2013 07:22:43 PM 227 Views
There is no call for self-defense for a fight you initiated yourself - 11/07/2013 06:34:46 PM 591 Views
Once again, following someone doesn't justify assault. - 11/07/2013 07:34:09 PM 486 Views
Thank god the perpetrator got shot - 11/07/2013 07:48:12 PM 537 Views
And once again, when did Zimmerman identify himself as the neighbourhood watchman? - 11/07/2013 08:59:28 PM 574 Views
He was under no legal obligation to do so. - 12/07/2013 01:39:45 AM 547 Views
He was also under no legal obligation to follow Martin, despite being neighbourhood watchman - 12/07/2013 05:15:00 PM 697 Views
Except that there is exactly zero evidence to support your scenario. - 12/07/2013 06:00:05 PM 608 Views
If you don't care one way or the other, why are you arguing so strongly for acquittal? - 12/07/2013 10:06:00 PM 530 Views
You covered several areas... - 12/07/2013 11:28:18 PM 552 Views
A couple of points... - 13/07/2013 12:15:47 AM 605 Views
I have to disagree about the manslaughter - 13/07/2013 12:45:32 AM 487 Views
