Zimmerman, in his demonstration, showed that his holster was in the small of his back behind his right hip. And if he had a free hand to reach for his gun, why didn’t he use that hand to fight off his “attacker”? I don’t believe anything he’s said. Martin wasn’t doing anything wrong, and Zimmerman, by his own admission, didn’t identify himself as a block-watch guy - if Martin thought he was about to mugged, why not fight? The irony here is that if Martin had killed Zimmerman, he would have had an excellent case of “stand your ground”.

That is your choice. But all can see that you spin a very dishonest account of events.

I DO believe Zimmerman, he has been very credible. You, not so much.

>> if he had a free hand to reach for his gun, why didn’t he use that hand to fight off his “attacker”?

Hmmm... someone is attacking you, in a manner that causes you to fear that he intends to take your life.

You decide you must defend yourself, and you have two weapons at your disposal — in Z’s case, a fist and a gun.

I was not aware that there is anything in self defense law that specifies which of your available weapons you may use to defend yourself, and which you may not use. In other words, I don’t think you’re obligated to calculate just how *little* force you must apply to succeed. Can you find me a reference?

(And that leaves aside the whole question of whether or not Z’s fist *would have been* adequate defense. Actually, the defense effectively argued, using witnesses, that Z was probably not capable of fighting off St. Trayvon with his hands.)

hogwash.

Martin was using the concrete as a weapon.

Martin was the one with premeditation by comming back from his house. The cell phone positioning shows zimmerman was not following any more.

Did you fall and hit your head recently?

LOL! Thank God we have a low-information voter on a Zimmerman thread finally.

If you don't believe anything the white-Hispanic has said than any animation by the defense should help bolster the State, right?

I'd love to see what the State would come up with as an animation. It *would* be cartoonish.

You aren’t following the case at all are you?

“I don’t believe anything he’s said”

I don’t care what you believe.
