“Based on what I know, Zimmerman probably should get dinged for manslaughter.”

Except for the fact an EYE WITNESS saw the Black kid on top of Zimmerman beating the crap out of him, with Zimmerman crying out for help.

It’s called self defense. In Florida and everywhere else.

ASSUMING the eyewitness actually saw this and accurately recounted what he saw.

A. Not if Zimmerman picked the fight to start with. Likely as he got out of his car and followed him to a close contact range. Martin can very reasonably see this as somebody coming at him with bad intentions.

B. Fists aren't normally considered deadly force. That would be considered imperfect self defense in most jurisdictions.

"Except for the fact an EYE WITNESS saw the Black kid on top of Zimmerman beating the crap out of him, with Zimmerman crying out for help."

Haven't you seen ALL those experiments that show that EYE WITNESS testimonies cannot be relied upon? I saw a witness on TV who had called 911 and she said the opposite of what you say that witness said. She said the police have NEVER come to talk to her.
