Inventory list is just a list of physical evidence presented in trial?

Pretty much what I've thought all along.



Hell, he was working for an insurance agency!





You're complaining about the law not being "fair". The law is the law.

But he could have been killed, correct? That is my point. It could easily have been Martin in court instead.

At the very least, he will probably be charged with Manslaughter.

OJ took 4 hrs.

Casey Anthony 10 hrs.

Scott Peterson - 7 DAYS.

You can't have watched the trial. There was plenty of interview tapes, 911 calls, etc that the Prosecutors put on.

George Zimmerman may have referred to Martin as a "suspect" but no one else did.

My question is, how can someone [Zimmerman] claim self-defense against the person [Martin] he's following?

If that person strikes you then you can use self defense. Theres your answer. It is NOT a crime to follow someone.

Any reasonable person would find it hard to believe that Zimmerna would have been killed.

There is also that list of lies and change in his story.

Just going through the evidence and over the witness testimony is going to take several hours, maybe a few days. Let alone go through all the jury instructions and charges, and then engage in discussion.
