“Gunning someone down at the quick stop and then fleeing the scene and spending the night in a motel, doesn’t help one to appear like a man with a clean case of self-defense.”
Apparently neither does staying around for the police (Zimmerman).
What is your point in regards to this shooting, that the man was wise to flee the scene and the cameras that filmed it?
Actually that worked in Zimmerman's favor as it gained him favor from law enforcement. Furthermore they were able to gather all the forensic evidence to validate his story which would not have been possible if he had fled.
This guy has none of that in his favor.
