That all assumes they can prove Zimmerman initiated it. Simply getting

Corey is alleging he did in the indictment

Well the, why did he get out of the car? AND you're forgetting the phone
conversation Martin was having.

He got out of the car to WATCH the person he called the cops on so he
could point him out when they got there.
Is getting out of your car a crime now? Corey seems to think so.

Bull****, he confronted Martin. His girlfriend heard it. Is looking at a
car a crime now? That's why you seem to think Zimmerman was justified in
killing Martin.

What was the first thing the girlfriend said she heard between them?

Hint, it was Martin addressing Zimmerman.

Martin was shot because he was beating the **** out of Zimmerman. I am
not sure what the law is where you live but aggravated battery is a
forcible felony in Florida and a bystander could have legally shot
Martin if they came up on him beating Zimmerman's head on the
concrete.


Is that what Rush told you to say?

That is what the law says.


The law says that Martin was "beating the **** out of Zimmerman'??? What
about Zimmerman's assault of Martin?


What assault? Nobody ever saw Zimmerman assault martin and martin
showed no signs of an assault. He had bloody fists from hitting
Zimmerman but no signs he was ever hit.


And no one saw Martin initiate an assault on Zimmerman.

I'm betting Zimmerman cops a plea.

If he does, O'Mara is not earning his money. This is a very weak case
brought for purely political reasons. All he needs to do is stand on
the law and he walks. That is why they are stalling. Once the
elections are over and the news cycle moves on to more pressing things
(like the punk in Colorado) this thing will just go away. I still
doubt it even survives the immunity hearing.


No one is stalling. At Zimmerman's first bail hearing, the defense
waived the right to a speedy trial because he wouldn't be spending his
time on his butt in a cell. Zimmerman has shown himself to be a liar.
The immunity hearing will be interesting. When is it?


Again Z is out on bail, that he paid handsomely for. He is in no
hurry.
Once the media frenzy dies down and he can get a fair trial, he will
go for one.
I suspect that. by now, O'Mara's detectives have quite a dossier about
the "angel" Travonn Martin. I wonder how many unsolved burglaries got
thrown in his coffin by the N. Miami police before they buried him. We
still have not even heard about the disposition of the presumed stolen
jewelry Travonn had at school. His family never said it was theirs.
The police are under a gag order right now and at least one cop was
disciplined for a leak.

Floridians should be ashamed of themselves for allowing a law that
permits a hothead like Zimmerman to pick a fight, shoot and kill the guy
he attacked, and then being able to "stand his ground." It's far too
easy a law to abuse.


You and "Ineverboat" seem to be assuming Zimmerman picked the fight
with absolutely no evidence so far that it is true. When you start
with a scenario that is not true, it is easy to jump to the wrong
conclusion.


Then why did Zimmerman get out of his car? By the way, he's given two
different answers to that already.

Then you would go to jail. "Self defense" is one shove or punch. The
second punch is battery if you can not demonstrate that the danger was
not mitigated.
I know a guy who did 7 years in a Maryland prison for killing an
intruder IN HIS HOUSE with one punch so that is not even always a
defense. They said he should have run away and called the police.


Martin did try to leave, that's in the phone call.

Yes, asking Zimmerman what he wanted. If a strange man in the night
comes up to you, are you going to ask him his intentions or just stand
there and wait to see if he's going to rob you, hurt you, kill you, rape
you or whatever?

Again, if a man attacked me in the middle of the night, I'd do the same
thing. It's called protecting yourself.

So you'd pull a Zimmerman on someone that attacked you. It's good to know you've come around.

Come around? I've said that from the very beginning that if someone
approached me in the middle of the night like Zimmerman did to Martin,
I'd have defended myself just like Martin presumably did.


The thing is, it wasn't in the middle of the night.


Yes it was.

There is no evidence
that Zimmerman did nothing more than ask the kid who he was and what he
was doing on the property. What would be your reasonable "defense" to
that action?


I'd tell him it's none of his ****ing business. BUT the fact is, as the
girlfriend stated, Zimmerman pushed Martin hard enough that his phone
headset fell.



You know that how?
The girlfriend never said that. She just said the call dropped. It
could have just as likely have been that when Martin punched Zimmerman
in the nose that he dropped his phone.

Apparently the kid's response and his suspicious activity involving
parked cars led Zimmerman to ask the police to come and check the kid
out. What would be your reasonable "defense" to that action? Zimmerman
decided to keep an ey on the kid from a distance till the police
arrived. What would be your reasonable "defense" to that action"
It seems that, at this point, a game of hide and seek started. Here is
where it starts to get really interesting. Do you want to finish the story?


He didn't keep an eye on him "from a distance" he went up to Martin and
started messing with him, it's very clear from the phone call.


You made that up. Otherwise cite it.,


Okay.

Show any evidence to the contrary.
It is the prosecution that has to prove their case.
Zimmerman has a presumption of innocence.
Without absolute proof from the state that Zimmerman's story is not

Zimmerman has no credibility. The act of shooting an *unarmed man* on
the street, as opposed to a burglar breaking into your house, should be
enough for at least a manslaughter conviction. Martin was under no
obligation to respond to Zimmerman's demands. Under similar
circumstances, I would have told Zimmerman to **** off. Were Zimmerman,
however, in the uniform of a sworn policeman, I would have responded in
a polite manner.

You live in a crazy state.



You still assume Martin did not approach Zimmerman and punch him in
the nose in answer to "what are you doing here"?

Would you do that?

You would automatically open up with fighting words when you were a
visitor on private property?


Yes, when some stranger was approaching me in the dark.

Zimmerman is a known hothead with a reputation for exploding and now, a

claims.

Maybe after all the investigating is done Martin will get a long jail
sentence posthumously. Zimmerman might even be a hero.
