One thing I find interesting is the way these things are reported.

Trayvon was found to have broken skin on his left ring finger, about a quarter inch or less. No knuckles with bruises, cuts, none of that. Very confusing given the examination of Zimmerman's injuries.

It's a good thing they have so much evidence to look through, because the media accounts of this case are all over the place, even when reporting on the same report.

Zimmerman clearly told the dispatcher that Martin was in his late teens, yet speaking from the stand told Martin's parents that he thought that Trayvon "was only a couple of years younger than me." Regarding the racial aspect, the police report lists Zimmerman as "White." This was reported, and when it came out that his mother was Peruvian, the clamor began that the media had lied. Looking over Zimmerman's arrest records, on only one is he listed as Hispanic; on the others he's described as White. None of this raises red flags for you?
His record is clean, he has no convictions. Even the judge classified his run in with the undercover officer arresting his friend as common and dismissed any charges.

Big deal..skinned knuckles? It all sounds like things are getting more clear. It appears that Zimmerman called 9 1 1 after a physical confrontation with Martin. Zimmerman in all probability stalked Martin..got aggressive with the young man- had a short fight- lost the fight- retreated...re-evaluated the situation and figured it was time for deadly force.

Sounds like Zimmerman set the whole thing up...During his 9 1 1 call Zimmerman sounded breathless...NOT because he was chasing Martin- but that he just had a fight with Martin - THAT HE DID NOT MENTION TO THE 911 operator.

I would safely say that the court will find that Zimmerman had a fight with the kid and he lost- and he was driven by rage and a sense of revenge...."I think he's on something..he's reaching into his WASTE BAND...and all that other crap- Zimmerman in my estimation messed with the chronology and inverted the time line..

NAWH- you are wrong- I can tell you exactly what happened and Zimmerman is a little cowardly liar. Zimmerman acting like a big shot had a fight with the kid- and to Zimmerman's surprise- Martin knew how to handle himself and Zimmerman lost----------------------so Zimmerman is enraged- pulls out the gun and gets in the last blow- with a bullet.

As the evidence shows Martin was a black kid with an attitude. Suspended from school for drug use he was high, (blood tests), on the night he died. Mr. Martin was a trained athlete with football conditioning who stood 6'3" and appartently also had martial arts training. While Mr. Martin walked he was talking to his girlfriend on his cell phone. He told her he thought he was being followed. (Drug hallucination)? She encouraged Mr. Martin to run. Being 6'3" and a trained football person in great condition Mr. Martin could have run as his girlfriend urged him to do and easily out distance a middle-aged Mr. Zimmerman. Instead Mr. Martin decided to confront Mr. Zimmerman by attacking him with martial art punches and kicks. Beaten to the ground and having his head slammed to to the ground by Mr. Martin, Mr. Zimmerman had no other choice that to defend himself with whatever means were at a hand. Mr. Zimmerman shot Mr. Martin at close range further proving he, Mr. Zimmerman, was being attacked. Mr. Martin could have held this dispute to an argument until the police arrived but being a taller he choose to attack Mr. Zimmerman.

It is clear that Mr. Zimmerman acted in self-defense and Mr. Martin caused his own death.

It is also clear that the special prosecutor Angela Corey acted in her own interest in her effort for re-election by arresting Mr. Zimmerman on a trumped up charge to appease the black community.

The misleading reporting by major news stations needs to be addressed as they convicted Mr. Zimmerman before the evidence was presented referring to Mr. Zimmerman as a murderer. Showing misleading photos and physical information. These so-called news stations have severely damaged Mr. Zimmerman and his family in a way that can never be repaired or repaid.

Then we have the public who were manipulated by the news media and formed a posse against Mr. Zimmerman that behaved more like the Frankenstein mob in city square than community seeking justice.

Mr. Zimmerman is a Main Street person trying to protect his community against criminals. The events that lead to Mr. Martins death are unfortunate but Mr. Martin either by ignorance or defiance was dressed the part of a hoodlum by wearing a hood over his head in Florida at night. All Mr. Martin needed to do is identify himself instead he chose to attack Mr. Zimmerman. Mr. Martin's actions are what caused his own death. One might argue that Mr. Martin was influenced by the drugs in his system causing his actions.

This case against Mr. Zimmerman is a travesty of justice. Mr. Zimmerman acted in self defense and is innocent of any wrong doing. Mr. Zimmerman is guilty of trying to protect his neighbors and family.

...and then you'd be shot for getting physical when the confronter wasn't physical. In NC we call that a good shoot.

How did Zimmerman have a fight when Trayvon had zero bruises on his body?

It looks as if that kid beat the good living christ out of him.

My opinion hasn't changed. Again, look at what the Detective said, he said it could have been avoided if Zimmerman did what the dispatcher told him to. He didn't. Now a 17 y/o kid is dead, and he's facing murder charges.
