From everything I’ve seen, this incident could be a case of a tragic misunderstanding. Zimmerman thought that Martin did not belong in the neighborhood, and got nervous. Martin thought someone was stalking him in a suspicious way. Things went downhill from there.

I agree with this portion of your comments and often discuss it in a similar manner.

I strongly disagree with your closing remark that it would be an injustice if Zimmerman went scot-free.

Much depends on exactly what happened when these two men came to resolve their suspicions of one another.

I say that because I have these nightmare visions of vigilante squads out there taking justice into their own hands. I have the impression that Zimmerman was straying into vigilante territory when this incident occurred.
