“However, they said in the affidavit that “Zimmerman confronted Martin,” an apparent contradiction of Zimmerman’s version of the events that led to the shooting.”

Well, that puts to bed the notion that Castle Doctrine will be on trial. Or at least it makes people look silly who condemn it.

Don't count on it. Remember....the left never lets good tragedy go to waste.

As I said in another post - to me this is the part the DA can’t prove. That means reasonable doubt - thus he should walk.

IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO VERBALLY "CONFRONT" SOMEONE, especially if you are on neighborhood watch duty.

HOWEVER, there is an unwritten law that white citizens must never question blacks and absolutely must not follow them (It's the "You don't tell me what to do anymore" black mentality). Trayvon felt Zimm violated these two laws and therefore had the RIGHT to punch then take Zimm down for a beating. But Zimm also had a right to defend himself as well as ensure his gun not be compromised if he were to be rendered unconscious.

IMHO, the screams signified a struggle for the gun. Someone had to win. Martin lost. Martin made the mistake of punching an armed person, and Zimm's attorney needs to drive this point home! Martin's autopsy revealed he had NO INJURIES other than the bullet wound, therefore I seriously doubt Zimm was the "aggressor" in this case.

I sure hope the Castle doctrine does not come into question in this case. Personally I think it's a great law. Although some people are still stupid enough to break into a house with the lights on or off to steal, the idea that they can end up dead on the spot for doing so has to resonate through some criminal minds. In doing so could lead them to commit a lesser crime than home burglary.

a probable cause affidavit has been filed... prosecutors offer little new information about the shooting.

However, they said in the affidavit that "Zimmerman confronted Martin,"

That's been the claim all along despite all the evidence to the contrary. Nothing to be concerned about......

If by luck he is afforded a FAIR trial, Mr. Zimmerman should be exhonerated of all the atrocities the MSM, race baiters and poverty pimps are accusing him of.

The legal fees that Mr. Zimmerman is going to suffer, over and above the bond he is going to have to pay, could devastate him and his family.

I've heard that there has been a defense fund that is going to be provided by a firearms organization, I hope that is true.....

I thought Zimmerman told 911 Trayvon ran off, and later Trayvon came back. 911 also said you don't need to do that, not stop!
