1.) There is NO evidence, NONE whatsoever that Zimmerman continued to follow Trayvon, and then approached him after the call with Non emergency.
Zimmerman Transcript
^^^this is official from Sanford, but for the sake of the discussion I will highlight the important part, you can review it at will if you want
911 dispatcher:
He’s running? Which way is he running?
Zimmerman:
Down toward the other entrance of the neighborhood. [2:14]
911 dispatcher:
OK, which entrance is that he’s headed towards?
Zimmerman:
The back entrance.
[It sounds like Zimmerman says under his breath, ‘F-ing c00ns’ at 2:22]
Are you following him? [2:24]
Zimmerman:
Yeah. [2:25]
911 dispatcher:
OK.
We don’t need you to do that. [2:26]
Zimmerman:
OK. [2:28]
911 dispatcher:
Alright, sir, what is your name? [2:34]
Zimmerman:
George. He ran.
So let's review your thought process again. He admitted to following TM on the phone, but there's no evidence he was following him?
2.) Rachel herself stated that Trayvon approached Zimmerman and said, 'you got a problem with me' or something to that effect. Then she tried to backtrack, but its there.
So now there's more evidence that Trayvon approached Zimmerman than your scenario.
BUT THAT WAS AFTER GZ GOT OUT THE F*CKING CAR. you are world's greatest troll or a complete dumbazz. You get out a car and start chasing me means we have a problem. TM chose fight instead of flight, like any redblooded American male. Either way it's not self-defense because GZ ADMITTEDLY got out the car to chase him.
In this part of the world, apparently. That is according to the law professor who testified just last week. Its called Imperfect Self Defense according to him.
Imperfect Self Defense
If the defendant's self-defense was imperfect, the self-defense may only reduce the defendant's liability. Imperfect self-defense is self-defense that was arguably necessary but somehow unreasonable. For example, if a person had a good faith belief that deadly force was necessary to repel an attack, but that belief was unreasonable, the defendant would have a claim of imperfect self-defense. In some jurisdictions, the successful invocation of such a defense reduces a murder charge to manslaughter. Most jurisdictions do not recognize imperfect self-defense.
I've been saying the whole time he may get manslaughter. He cannot legally walk free. He defended himself after he initiated attack. The only scenario in which he could walk is if he was minding his own cotdamn business and TM came to his car and attacked him, which is not the case. Stepping out the car armed = manslaughter at a minimum
However, I'll say it again since people here seem to have trouble grasping this, but there is absolutely no proof that Zimmerman initiated this altercation. Stop blathering that out like its a fact. It isn't.
It doesn't matter who initiated the fight, it matters who initiated the confrontation. GZ stepped out the car at night to run after TM. That's an aggressive act, an act of confrontation, not an act of self-defense
That was an entirely different scenario. Gun laws in Florida are incredibly strict. For even firing a weapon randomly, you're subject to many years in prison unless it was a lawful firing. That woman was negligent and who knows what other charges she caught because of her b/s.
How was it a lawful firing if he got out the car? The lady in the same case felt threatened at will, and unlike GZ, she didn't inflict a lethal wound. She went to jail because she WENT INTO A SITUATION ARMED, SHE WAS NOT FORCED, exactly as GZ. Please explain how it is different
LMAO at someone leaving me a comment calling me a troll, some guy named Gravity. Seriously? If I say something you don't agree with but falls in line with all the facts, I'm a troll? Really? No... REALLY?
GZ clearly states in the transcript of his own admission he got out the car to chase after TM, but you're saying there is no evidence, thus
Again, quote where I stated I believed his story. There's no way to disprove his story, and the evidence there is is overwhelmingly in his favor. The circumstantial evidence is weak, the inconsistent story is weak etc. The prosecution's whole case is so weak that it'd take an act of God for the verdict to be guilty.
At best you can argue the evidence is circumstantial for a premeditated murder charge. But you talk as if he should walk which is
