They are. She didn't want to at the beginning, but later persuaded by the other juror to do the right thing.

I think that Zimmerman started to reach for his gun the moment he was on the ground. If Trayvon was indeed aware that Zimmerman was trying to get to a weapon, that might have explained why he was trying to defend himself.

To me the evidence shows that only one person of the two came to the encounter with a deadly weapon. Only one person knew that any altercation could result in death. Only one person intentionally withdrew their gun, and pointed it, and fired it into a boy's chest. I doubt very much if Trayvon had any intention of murdering someone simply because that person was following him.
Really! You believe that GZ started to reach for his gun the moment he was on the ground. So when GZ says to a witness 'help me!' while Trayvon was pummeling him where was his gun. What was GZ thinking asking for help when he had his gun fixed on Trayvon all along? You realize that your rendition of the events doesn't make sense.

And to add why would GZ draw attention to himself when he was on the ground by asking for help if he had gun fever. Drawing attention to himself wouldn't allow him to finish his pre-meditative well thought out plan to kill a black man. Would it?

There are two threads about this already, including a sticky at the top of the page.

Clear her conscience? I think she smells money.

It explains his lack of self-defense injuries. What did he do with his hands for 40 seconds while Trayvon supposedly pummeled him and banged his head on the ground---flutter them in the air?

So what if she did? You think the lawyer's wife who was going to write a book didn't?

I get the feeling many people wanted GZ to get to the point where he was almost unconscious before acting. I wonder if they would do that is they had been attacked?

Well since Treyvon is dead they had to go by the story given of the person left alive.
