Zimmerman was a hot headed vigilante that was so crazed that 911
dispatchers often ignored him. Oh, and on Zimmerman's own website there
is nothing about looking into cars. He says the kid was walking around
looking at the houses.

From the prosecution affidavit:

"During this time, Martin was on the phone with a friend and described
to her what was happening," the affidavit said. "The witness advised
that Martin was scared because he was being followed through the complex
by an unknown male and didn't know why.

And:

"When the police dispatcher realized Zimmerman was pursuing Martin, he
instructed Zimmerman not to do that and that the responding officer
would meet him. Zimmerman disregarded the police dispatcher and
continued to follow Martin who was trying to return to his home."

And then this:

"Zimmerman confronted Martin and a struggle ensued," prosecutors said in
their account.

So, if Zimmerman did persue and initiate contact, the stand your ground
rule won't work.

Corey was just trying to get an arrest to soothe the mob. She has no
real basis for those statements. It is just her case, let's see what
the defense says.
The only credible witness is the defendant. Nobody else has stepped up
so far to say they saw the start of the fight. The only witness who
says Zimmerman was on top did not even look out her window until after
Martin was shot. We don't really have a clue about the fight except
that Zimmerman was the only one with injuries before the gunshot.

BTW there is nothing in the SYG statute that addresses who started it
and following a stranger on private property is not illegal.

"The only *credible* witness is the defendant." Now, that is funny. A
known wife-beater and assaulter of police, armed with an attitude and a
handgun.
