I would like to add to my previous post-GZ was NOT acting in capacity of Neighorhood Watch at the time he KILLED Trayvon Martin. (Once more, for emphasis, LOL!)
It doesn't matter what he was doing in regards to neighborhood watch. As a citizen he had a right to be there in his neighborhood on private property.

The prosecutor also admits they don't know who started the altercation, but the EVIDENCE and witness statements corroborate to show that Trayvon was on top of GZ hitting him and this evidence would most definitely have to be considered.

Do you think Zimmerman slammed his own head into the sidewalk? Punched himself up?

In the United States, a legal defense fund (or LDF) is an account set up to pay for legal expenses, which can include attorneys' fees, court filings, litigation costs, legal advice, or other legal fees. The fund can be public or private and is set up for individuals, organizations, or for a particular purpose. These funds are often used by government public officials, civil rights organizations, and public interest organizations.
Legal defense funds often have large membership counts where the members contribute to the fund. The fund sometimes is or operates like a law firm, where teams of attorneys provide legal services through litigation.[1] Contrary to the name, attorneys working for legal defense funds both file and defend lawsuit. Unlike legal financing from legal financing companies, legal defense funds provide a separate account for litigation rather than a one-time cash advancement, though both are used for purposes of financing litigation and legal costs.

Because the way Zimmerman was also using the funds for personal use and not to just pay legal fee's. With the way he's using the funds, the IRS will be knocking on his door come next April 15th.

I'd love to see an accounting of where all the money they spent actually went. You know - how much went to relocating and reasonable living expenses and how much went to non-essentials.

I just have this gut feeling that there were some "splurges" purchased out of that account.

I wonder if the idiots who were/are stupid enough to donate to him would be upset if they were to find out that their money went to things like a big screen t.v. or a little "bling" for the wife.

Unfortunately the reality at this time is that a black person may get into trouble walking in a white neighborhood because he is suspected of making trouble, while a white person walking in a black neighborhood would be in trouble solely because he is white.

It may have been the other way around in the past, where a black man walking in a white neighborhood would be in trouble just because he is black, and maybe in a few instances it still has happened recently, but the last time it was generally considered safe for a white man to walk in a black neighborhood was when their would be hell to pay if something happened to him.

But in this case the area were getting robbed by all black young men. That is called a description.
So when a young unknown black man is running around the grounds during a rain, they wonder who he is, does he have a reason to be there or is he there to burglarize someone.

Happens elsewhere with young white kids as well. But in this case it was blacks.

PS. I know, I know: even mentioning this facts, provided by the federal government, makes me a bigot and a racist.

Since you want to quote the obvious, how about the number of blacks falsely sent to prison because of a racist, jury/judge, what about not having a real defender instead of an inexperienced "public pretender", or how about the cops who are too lazy to investigate a crime and lock up the first black person that looks "questionable", or the fact that people like the koch brothers fund organizations like ALEX to buy politicans who are owned by the for profit prisons system. But mostly all of the first time offenders who are lead to believe that if they plead guilty to something that they did not do they would get less time if they go before a jury.

PS. I know by even mentioning these facts, provided by common sense, makes me slightly more intelligent than the average dittohead from faux

Since zimmerman's credibility is shattered, I would not have put it past him to have injured himself. Like I said before "who in their right mind gets his head smashed on concrete and does not get checked for a concussion?"

Not really, it would depend on the person and the neighborhood that they are going through. All whites are not afraid of blacks or their neighborhood. Btw it works the other way around as well, have you ever heard of Bensonhurst N.Y?

You're going to be so disappointed when the trial starts and nothing plays out as you are so sure it will. You do realize that Zimmerman's own lawyer has now said that his credibility has been "damaged" by the reason his bail was revoked.

The name calling is not necessary.

Btw, tell me WHERE in the "charging documents" they made the specific assertion that they don't know who started the fight. You consistently fragment the evidence, which is why you come to so many wrong conclusions. Look at the definition of circumstantial evidence.

I know if he keeps jumping to conclusions he is going to break his neck
