It is up to the jury to decide if he was murdered or not. My guess
is not.

It's Florida, where it is perfectly ok to stalk someone physically,
force a confrontation, and when you are called out on it, shoot the
person you confronted.

That's the version thay you and some of the mass media seem to prefer,
but I haven't heard any trial testimony to that effect. You and Al
Sharpton can go start riots together after the verdict is rendered.

The stand your ground defense isn't being used in the Zimmerman murder
case.

case.

----------------------------------------

True, he waived his right to a stand your ground defense to be
determined without benefit of a jury. He retains the right to
exercise it as a defense at a later date, according to his attorneys.
It was considered a strategic move by his attorneys to avoid having it
rejected by a judge.

However, when it all comes down to it, the only difference is that a
jury will decide if the shooting and killing of Martin was justified
as self defense as opposed to a judge making the determination.

Harry's description sounds like your standard strong arm robbery.

I just heard something I had not heard before regarding the police
interrogation of George Zimmerman.

According to Lisa Bloom, an attorney who was just on Chris Matthew's
show, one of the police interrogations included a "bluff" directed to
Zimmerman.
He was told that they located a video of the entire altercation
between him and Martin, presumably from a security camera within the
gated community.

According to Bloom, Zimmerman's reaction was "elation" and he thanked
God there was a video record of the event.

Lisa Bloom, btw, is of the opinion that Zimmerman is guilty of 2nd
degree murder. However, she acknowledged that "if" the events
happened as described by Zimmerman and he was having his head beaten
on the concrete sidewalk, then yes, she would agree that an acquittal
based on self defense would be appropriate.

But the question remains. If this "bluff" was made and Zimmerman
indeed reacted as he did ..... why?

Lisa Bloom says it either means he is telling the truth or is a great
actor.

With that piece of informaiton Zimmerman should never have been charged.

Good acting. Don't forget, that "head being beaten into the concrete
sidewalk" is in reality, he had a minor scrap and boo-boo that they put
a band-aid on as insurance.
