What leaves such a sour taste in my mouth is that Zimmerman picked a fight, and then shot Trayvon when it was clear he could not win it. I'm not saying that perhaps Zimmerman felt that he was going to die/shot in self defense, but it was a fight that HE started that would not have occurred otherwise.
This case sets an extremely bad precedent.
Bad precedent for politics, racial hatred and a complete disconnect from the facts to motivate a guilty verdict. While the facts prove GZ is innocent of murder.
Alot of people are making a big deal about the operator telling Z. 'You don't need to do that". But they forget that the same operator tells Z. to find out what street the suspect was on. Z. went to find out that precisely. So what would you do if the operator asks you for the street name? I would get the street info for the operator. These details explain the reasoning. The defense never provided this analysis since self defense was the direction pursued. But it is important to note that this did happen.
Zimmerman didn't stalk TM. In any case, I've never heard of a case where a stalker calls the police before, during and after. Again STALKERS DON'T CALL THE POLICE BECAUSE IT'S SELF INCRIMINATING. VIGILANTES DON'T CALL THE POLICE. Name one case where this has happened. ONE!! Who would do that? So why are people still saying he stalked TM or that he's a vigilante?
In any case it's not illegal to follow someone you believe might commit a crime. In this case the operator instructed Z. to get the street name.
Another thing is the pic of jewelry trayvon martin had on his cell phone. (Along the gun and marijuana plant and middle finger pics) Has there been an investigation from the police to see if this jewelry might match the stolen items from the thefts in this gated community?
You'll never fit in here. You make FAR TOO MUCH SENSE!
Problem is that Zimmerman gave two accounts which contradict one another.
Which is expected because his head was bashed against the concrete and since it was a traumatic event he may not be able to recall everything with exact detail.
Either that or he is a liar who is trying to cover up a murder.

Goodness, I didn't realize looking for a number on a house was equivalent to picking a fight.

So his testimony can't be trusted either way.
