>>Sorry but “no evidence to disprove” is not proof. And, a number of freepers have been stating that there are witnesses who say that martin attacked zimmerman -— ask them to provide any link and they can't.<<

You are correct that there were no witnesses to the start of the fight. The investigator, Dale Gilbreath, admitted that at Zimmerman's bail hearing. The problem the prosecution has is that THEY have to PROVE Zimmerman guilty. Zimmerman does not have to prove himself innocent.

My own speculation is that both were spooked by the other, and 17 year olds think they can never die. When the two of them got to be face to face (probably by Trayvon accosting Zimmerman) and started a testosterone fueled pissing match, Trayvon thought that Zimmerman was pulling a weapon when Zimmerman went for his phone. Trayvon then sucker punched Zimmerman and Zimmerman shot Trayvon in self-defense. A tragic case all around.

>>As for your statement that zimmerman was key in getting charges against the cop's son -— please provide a link. I know about the incident but never heard about zimmerman being involved.<<

Here's a link. You can find more by googling Zimmerman Sherman Ware (the homeless guy's name).

Thanks for the link.

There are a number of plausible theories about what happened, but they are just that - theories.

Did GZ approach TM or just 'bump into him' and then show or even reach for his weapon? If he did then TM would have been 100% within his rights under SYG to fight to keep GZ from pulling the gun or the trigger.

There is nothing that proves this but, as some folks here are fond of saying, there is nothing that dis-proves it either. It is just one of many equally plausible scenarios.

I do not think that Zimmerman is any kind of hero or good guy in this. I think he's just a guy who got in over his head and had to shoot his way out.

I don't think that he will go to jail and I don't think that he should have been indicted. But that is because there is a lack of evidence of guilt - not a plethora of evidence of innocence.

I don't care one bit about TM's facebook page or twitter account. I can show you FB pages of rich Jewish or Catholic School kids from LI's Gold Coast that look more gangsta. It's 16/17 yo macho posturing.

And, I don't care one bit about GZ's prior brushes with the law, they were a few years ago and young men grow up.

All that matters is who started this fight...and, in spite of the legions of freepers who claim otherwise, only two people know the answer...the guy who died and the guy who killed him.

Again, thanks for the link.
