People are over-analyzing this shit.

Zimmerman created and then escalated - against police advice - a dangerous and unnecessary situation with reckless disregard for life.  A life was lost.

It's a murder.

That's how I see it. I just hope that fact isn't obfuscated by the creation of "reasonable doubt" with regards to provocation.

If the prosecutor has a hair on his ass, that won't happen.

The real worry here is getting a jury that hasn't already made up its mind one way or the other.  I am currently of the opinion that it's an open & shut murder case, but if I was on the jury, I'd listen to what was said...If some outrageous and unknown information was released, I could conceivably change my mind.

But the stand your ground shit?  Balls.  Doesn't count if you CHASE someone.

And if it didn't work for Marissa Alexander, it shouldn't work for George Zimmerman.

A self-defense story - or ANY story explaining the moment of violence - doesn't justify anything, for the very reason that he was following Martin - against protocol, as stated.

True enough.

I've just been exposed to a number of fucking morons who are trying to justify what happened as some sort of twisted self defense case to let Zimmerman go.  It's made me a bit itchy on the points of the case.

Well, as a gun nut, i can say that stories like this make me cringe... so i can empathise.
but if you're willing to throw an innocent under the bus to preserve your 'right' then you don't really deserve it now, do you?
