Reality is that he was a 6'3 punk. They also don't report that he jumped from behind and overpowered the hispanic 5'2 Zimmerman guy

He was 6'0" and skinnier than Obama, Zimmerman was 5'9" and built like a brick outhouse.

Hard to know exactly what is true, there is so much media spin and second-hand comments out there. I have now found various reports of height and weight, a few that match what you say, and they all differ. I found the arrest report, with many pertinent facts on description blacked out. The arrest report does say that Zimmerman is 5'9, no weight indicated. So I stand corrected, thank you for the update.

The arrest report does corroborate other statements I made, that the police reported Zimmerman was found with his back wet with grass stains, the back of his head was bloody, his nose was bleeding, and he was treated at the scene. Martin was found face down on the grass. Zimmerman had a Kel Tek 9mm. Other reports say the weapon had a full magazine, which indicates that only one round was fired, one in the chamber. Media reports were saying multiple shots but that is untrue.

Anyway, still sounds like self-defense to me, let a jury sort it out.
