Was the property properly posted with a sign that said, "Unless you

Pretty much. Have you seen the signs? They were photographed and put
out on CNN

All the signs said was that it was a neighborhood that had a
neighborhood watch program. It didn't say that you couldn't be walking
on the sidewalk.

They also said trespassers would be arrested and prosecuted

Zimmerman had no powers of arrest and prosecution.

Martin was on private property clearly marked as monitored. Anybody with
a brain in that situation would assume he did...

Why would anyone assume he did? Zimmerman could have been nothing more
than a thug wanting to rob Martin. If someone walks up to you in the
middle of the night, no one else around, and starts asking ****, you are
going to "assume" that he has authority and isn't just trying to rob you
or something worse? THAT is stupid.
