Early on, I recall hearing a 911 tape from a resident inside her home. She called because someone was outside screaming for help, then there was a gun shot. You could hear the whole thing through the phone. At that time, I assumed it was the teen who was screaming. Now, it sounds like it was Zimmerman. Still, Zimmerman could have chosen to avoid a confrontation, was even advised to, so I he will have a hard time convincing anybody he “feared for his life”.
“Zimmerman could have chosen to avoid a confrontation”
Confrontation is legal. Martin’s right to swing his fist ended at Zimmerman’s nose.
If a 6' 3", 200 pound, football playing male is sitting atop your body, beating you in the head and face, regardless of how he got there, you would BE fearing for your life and could use self defense.
If that is a real, provable fact, there is no way Zimmerman gets convicted.
What was the brother in a hoody doing in a gated {i.e. PRIVATE NO TRESPASSING ALLOWED} community? Just axing, bro?
If the kid jumped Zimmerman and had him on the ground beating him then Zimmerman was well within his rights to shoot in self defense. If thats what really went down especially if Zimmerman was withdrawing from the fray and heading back to his truck he is probably home free. Fla gun laws are pretty lenient.
Neighborhood Watch has rules ~ the point is to “watch”.
