"Unless Martin’s killer, George Zimmerman, had reason to believe that Martin was armed, shooting him was a grossly disproportionate response to a fistfight, even leaving aside the fact that Zimmerman had initiated the encounter."

The very first day this came out I said lets just let the news media try people. Look at the money we would save by abolishing the court system.
I read a report that made sense early on. Zimmerman lost sight of Martin and was walking back to his vehicle. Martin then came up to him and said something like "you got a problem? you do now." Then he knocked Zimmerman down then got on top of him and pulled his shirt over his head thus revealing the pistol. They struggled over it and Zimmerman was able to fire it, however it was an automatic and Martin had his hand on the slide so only one round went off. The automatic mechanism did not operate meaning the spent bullet was still in the chamber.
This makes sense to me but I am NOT saying this is exactly what happened. I want people under oath when they give information. Being under oath won't stop people from lying, but it means that if they are caught in a lie they can face prosecution, unlike lying to the TV camera.
The scenario I just gave may be the reason they haven't charged Mr. Zimmerman. If it was cold bloodied shooting he would have been in jail when it occurred and would still be there without bond.
Now Jessie & Al say they want justice. No they want Zimmerman arrested and convicted and they will not be satisfied with anything less, regardless of the facts.
I still say lets get the facts in court, then we should know exactly what happened.

Unfortunately the well has been so poisoned that we may never get the facts. Remember the Rodney King riots? If Zimmerman is found to be not guilty I am afraid all hell will break loose and Al & Jessie should be held accountable.

Not guilty? Has he been charged?

Not sure how 250 people at today's big march translates to anything like Rodney King. Treyvon wasn't shot by a cop.
