Its over

As an aside, Good witnessed this right there, heard someone yelling for help, and he went back inside?

I don't know what's left for witnesses, except maybe some more police and the ME.
The pertinent questions remaining are location, Martin's body having no marks.

Other than some more boring witnesses, it's pretty much down to forensics, ballistics, coroner.

Zimmerman got what he deserved from Martin.

Martin did not get what he deserved from Zimmerman.

There remains an inequity.

No one is going to riot if GZ is not convicted. This case brings out all the racists who want reassurance that they can get away with killing a ******. Whether he is convicted or not (and most people I speak with don't think he will), his life will never be the same. He is hated by many and all of this could have been avoided had he stayed in his vehicle and not FOLLOWED Trayvon Martin. He is not a hero. He's a dishonest loser who made an idiotic decision that cost someone their life and ruined his.

Likely he would still be dead.

Zimmerman was hell bent.

Why didn't Zimmerman tell Martin that the police were on the way?

I suppose you'd do the same if some creepy man followed you in the dark and questioned you. Please, TM was minding his own business. GZ should have done the same.

I don't think either party got what they deserved, especially since we don't know exactly what transpired. If Martin was doing everything Zimmerman said he was doing, I would have shot him too.

My opinion would have been a heck of a lot easier, had Zimmerman's stories added up. I also stopped believing him after the bond hearing fiasco. If the evidence can't prove him wrong, so be it. I'd rather have a liar walk than put an innocent man in jail, or at least someone we can't Prove is guilty.

You hit the nail on the head with that one. True words have never been spoken...

Zimmerman will only get off because there are limited witnesses to what happened that night, that doesn't mean he is innocent. If I were him, I'd be lying my behind off right now, because there is no way he would survive in prison.

Zimmerman should have never been stalking Martin either.
