Zimmerman is proving to be a little stupid on his own.

Actually he's not and it won't. Your article was written on 4/10, it's old news and everyone is beyond that now..........

would not have allowed that prosecutor to frame what happened as a crime.

That's obviously why you're not a defense attorney since you would not have a choice, that is what prosecutors do. And that's why you also have a court of law to dispute whatever the prosecutor offers.......

Just like in the Duke case. Only investigate that which suits your end result.

Zimmerman's ad lib statements have been ill-advised but represent the behavior of someone comfortable with the police, who does not see them as adversaries, and who trusts the system.

In other words, devoid of mens rea.

...old news...

Let me guess ... 'cause I just got back from an 8 day vacation ... is Zimmerman our new FReeper hero and thou shalt not criticize?

Don't get me wrong. I don't much care how this pans out. But he opened himself up for a beatdown today - not two weeks ago. Just making an observation.

Patterns of behavior.

Excuse me?
Zimmerman did not have to go along with the notion and let the prosecutor steamroll him.

He is coming across as trusting (perhaps to a fault IMHO).
He certainly isn’t coming off as a predator.

Absolutely not! But if you're attempting to make a critical observation on Mr. Zimmerman's current behavior then do yourself a favor, use current news...........

That'll cut down on challenges to you and prevent yourself from having to defend your statements. Easy, isn't it?

Buford, that was before the prosecutor filed her 2nd degree charges. While these two attorneys were holding their press conference, Zimmerman (or his family) was retaining one of FL’s top criminal defense attorneys, O’Mara. This is an outdated article.

Zimmerman shouldn't be appoligizing to anyone. He needs to keep his mouth shut and let the lawyer do the talking. I loved the Martin family response after bail was set. They don't believe in habeas corpus it seems

Okay, I see your point. Just read this:

Better than the sound bites I’ve been getting on TV.

Neener - Neener to you too! LOL

I think that picture of the bloody head was the most influential thing held back by someone who just wanted the entire situation to explode...they succeeded!

Could it be that some people just wanted a chance to visit Florida during the beautiful weather? LOL

That girl looks so much like a friend of mine it is scary.

  On ABC News, there was a caption underneath the bloody photo that called it an 'alleged' photo.

  If it had been posted on the White House website and it could be taken apart in layers in Adobe Illustrator, then it would have been a 'genuine' photograph of the back of George Zimmerman's head. Unfortunately, it's an actual photograph.
