Trevon Martin is dead. Zimmerman is hiding from crazy people.  No matter who did what, it is awfully sad that two families are ruined by one tragedy.   I sure wish sometimes that God had made us with a do over button. I would sure push it for that one!  I admit that I get all my news on the zone.  That makes me Liberally Conservative with a streak of independence.   No wonder you guys shake your heads at me...

This statement accurately describes my feelings about this case: "...police described what happened as 'ultimately avoidable by Zimmerman, if Zimmerman had remained in his vehicle and awaited the arrival of law enforcement'..."  I agree with Henry that manslaughter is a more fitting charge but Zimmerman precipitated the situation in which Martin was killed and is therefore responsible for his death.

I totally agree. I hope that you guys have misunderstood my comments about this over the last couple of days. I am just aware that Martin was no angel himself according to what I have heard in the media outlet$$$$.

But I also understand that is no excuse for Zimmerman to commit murder.

In my opinion, based upon evidence as I have read them.....I do not beleive Zimmerman commited murder.  I think he killed Martin in self-defence.  But, like Ex stated, had he stayed in his vehicle as told by the police, Martin would be alive today.  I don't believe that Zimmerman actually broke any laws, but did not act wisely, and was forced to do something that could have been prevented.  A  young man died.  Zimmerman is going to have that hanging over his head for the rest of his life.

Is Zimmerman claiming that Martin accosted him at his vehicle and then drug him halfway up the courtyard before starting to assault him?

I'm not sure what the exact claim was, but I do recall him stating that Martin accosted him while he was trying to return to the vehicle.  But as you can see from the evidence photos, the shooting clearly didn't take place anywhere near a parking lot where Zimmerman's vehicle would have been parked.

There's also a PDF of the evidence against him located here:

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/trayvon-martin/os-evidence-file-george-zimmermann-051812,0,1457800.acrobat

I can't get it to open.  It says the document is corrupt.  Maybe you can try and see if you can open it.   If you can, let me know.

^^ Correction, it says the file is damaged and can't be repaired.

Exactly the point of my (somewhat rhetorical) question.  I think what happened here is pretty obvious.

See if you can get that PDF file above to open.  I'd like to see what's in there, but it won't open for me and I've tried it on two different computers now.

Well if you see anything interesting in there, let me know.  I can't get it to open at all.  :biggrin:
