So I guess skittles and ice tea are the ingredients for an IED? It still comes down to the fact that Zimmerman had no RATIONAL cause to get out of his vehicle police request. This was the worst prosecution since OJ was asked to try on the gloves!
^Whittle’s first comment is that Martin was on his way TO the 7/11, and the “accuracy” went downhill from there with speculation, not facts. The photos of Zimmerman’s “injuries” taken after the fact, prove he was barely scratched as there is minimal amount of blood, dried on his scalp. “Mixed martial arts blows”?, what is that? Oh, right, using a fist is “mixed martial arts”. Hmm, is a 9 mm handgun also a “mixed martial arts tool”?? The video is a crock, not “journalism”.
The second juror to speak up DID summarize the situation well. Zimmerman killed Martin and got away with murder. She rightfully pointed out that as a juror, she had to vote “not guilty” (NOT "innocent) because of the language in the Florida laws on either murder 2, or “manslaughter”. In my state’s law, he’d have been absolutely convicted of manslaughter, as is the case in many states. YOU start a bar fight, and your “opponent” dies, and you’re convicted of manslaughter as “intent” is NOT required in most states for manslaughter. Even “accidental death” where some idiot does something stupid and aggressive, like Zimmerman did, is manslaughter.
While I don’t see “justice” being truly done in the case, I do have to say that I admire the intelligence of THIS juror to see her obligation to THE LAW.(Even though much of Florida, like Texas, where you can “legally” shoot someone in the back, on your NEIGHBOR’S front lawn, and get away with it, , law, totally sucks.)
So would Zimmerman have stalked Bill Belichick? Hoodies are a fashion statement. It was raining. Trayvon was NOT casing HIS FATHER’S neighborhood. Zimmerman’s comments on the 911 tape, and his actions, PROVE he was spoiling for a fight. Worst prosecution since OJ! And how many of you have ever gone for a stroll and NOT checked out your neighbor’s house? OMG, I can’t believe they painted it THAT color! Damn, the cut down that tree. Etc, etc, etc!!!
^Only one person said Zimmerman didn’t “start” the confrontation, Zimmerman. The dispatcher said, “You don’t have to do that.” as in following Martin on foot. He disregarded that advice, and therefore that is prima facia evidence ZIMMERMAN started the confrontation, period.
YOU get in a guy’s face at a bar, you insult him, you invade HIS space, until he gets fed up and takes a swing, YOU started the fight, not him. Martin was on his way to his residence, a legal action, when Zimmerman stepped in with no authority or legal right, it was MARTIN who “stood his ground”, though that law wasn’t directly called up in the trial, it was often inferred.
Zimmerman is a nut, and proven liar, and “pest” to the police with all his calls on “intruders”.
dtroutma- “The photos… prove he was barely scratched” Have you forgotten that his nose was broken.? I haven’t heard anyone claiming he was using mixed martial arts. Trayvon was being watched by a “Cracka”, he got pissed off,went back and confronted the guy. Trayvon shouldn’t have died, but also he should have just kept going instead of coming back to Zimmerman.
remember Trevor Dooley?he made sure the other guy saw his gun and he got scared and attacked him
is so hard to believe zimmerman did the same ? he showed the gun he was carrying and trayvon attacked him trying to stop him before he could grab the gun and use it

“Where are the errors in the Video?”
For one thing you’re using a soap box video to prove your soap box theory.

edinbaltimore: would Zimmerman have stalked Chuck Norris? More than one alternate interpretation of cause and effect in THAT one.
