George Zimmerman in 2005 in custody |
LOL! Looks like Zimmerman had only one photo taken of him his entire life. Wardrobe provided by the state of Florida.
So, in summary, we have:
The 17 year old was an invited guest of a resident in the neighborhood and so had legal right to be there.
There is no evidence that Martin was committing any type of offense.
The police did their investigation and did not assert that Martin was doing anything illegal.
Zimmerman initiated the confrontation simply by getting out of his car.
Zimmerman ignored the 9-11 operator’s statement that he was no longer needed.
Zimmerman has a history of 9-11 calls which show a pattern of harassment of the neighborhood residents. We also have statements from a couple of residents that they avoided Zimmerman because of his behavior.
The 9-11 call also demonstrated Zimmerman’s irritated state of mind before the confrontation occurred.
We have a report that Martin’s girlfriend was on the phone with him during the confrontation, so there is a witness that will be available for a trial.
The sizes of the two men are irrelevant because the altercation would not have occurred if Zimmerman had not initiated the confrontation.
I would say Zimmerman has a legal problem.
