and at this time I would like to, once again, point out that even if zimmerman did just follow trayvon unprovoked, that is not a crime.
Well, first off is that the claim is not SYG as a defense, it is self defense. Second of all, we don't know that an autopsy drug panel would show the dexi in DM to make the drug, water soluble, and time...So, the fact that the possibility of a crazed out assailant acting like he's on PCP, is of no concern to you eh? Then I seriously doubt that you have anything useful in honest debate on the matter.
what?
1. the claim is SYG as the defense.
can Zimmerman still claim he killed Martin in self defense under Florida’s stand your ground law? Maybe.
I started thinking about this more in depth last night after receiving an email from a well respected attorney who suggested that I misstated an aspect of the law during a television appearance. In particular, he believed I was wrong to say that “under Florida Law you can’t start a fight, start losing a fight and then claim you were standing your ground.”
The Florida Stand your Ground Law passed in 2005 reads as follows:
A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.
So the law is pretty clear that if Zimmerman was attacked by Martin, he could use deadly force “if he. . . reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself.” Who was the aggressor becomes a, and probably the, crucial legal question.

2. there was an autopsy performed and i have yet to see your claims of certain drugs in his system. nice try.
3. your claim of " the fact that the possibility of a crazed out assailant acting like he's on PCP, is of no concern to you eh" is beyond absurd. i've never any such comments. perhaps you can enlighten us as to how you came to that conclusion. especially given the fact, that i've repeatedly said, the evidence the public knows, show zimmeran to likely be innocent.
ac;1030881]So the defense will claim 'self defense' under the SYG statutes...Technical I know but still.
Positive for Pot, and like I said I don't know if they can even test for DM.
Are we confused? I am saying that M was the one crazed out that night, possibly on purple lean...And I provided an article, and definitions of what this substance does when abused.
Is this what's referred to as "circumstantial'?

Tell me which jurisdiction in Florida finds a "voice analytics lie detector test" admissible, will you?
keep denying reality all you want. there is plenty of evidence that is lining up with zimmerman telling the truth, you on the other hand are being left holding a sack of fail.
The judge in the Trayvon Martin killing has set Zimmerman's bond again. This time at 1 million. I doubt George is going anywhere.
lol...how's that "waiver of speedy trial" thing goin' for ya, Georgie!
he is said to have a defense fund of $200,000 and would only have to put a non-refundable deposit of $100,000 to post bail
now the question is does he want to burn $100,000 to get out of jail
oh well
Actually there is some proof that he was at least supplying some in his circle...
Majority of Americans smoke pot? In what reality? Actually he did much worse. Martin was into doing what they call "Purple Drank", it is a home made substance that depending on degree of useage mimics PCP.
No.
Suspended from school for graffiti, drugs, and there is some evidence that he assaulted a school bus driver in Miami as well....So, yes.
Maybe he was channeling the "Choom Gang".... After all Obama did say that if he had a son he would look just like him...
Irrelevant, personal anecdotes have no bearing on the case.
Ah, so if you don't support Treyvon Martin then one must be racist eh? How intellectually easy, and might I say fraught with 'white guilt.'
If he was telling the truth then why hide money and dupe passports? Looks like Mr Truth was planning on skipping the country.
So you admit that your "evidence" is pretty much worthless?
The "MAJORITY" defense is thrown out there, when it's very well known that it can't be proven or disproven.
Kids use it as defense for drinking, smoking, and substance use.
Alcoholics use it to defend their drinking.
Tobacoo users use it to defend their smoking
and
MJ users use it to defend their own use.
How many Senior grads used it on prom night, in an attempt to get laid; ie: "C'mon baby, you know everyone else is doing it".
Thanks for the laugh.Now the night in question M was at 7-11 buying two of the three ingredients used in this concoction, and the video at the store shows a young man barely able to stand up on his own....If, and I am saying if he was doing this drug on that night, it is possible that Z had no choice but to shoot him.
Thanks for the laugh.
The facts are documented. Zimmerman went hunting for a robber. He thought he found one.Well, judging from your first post on the subject Althea, I don't think you are in line to be an impartial jurist in the case now are you?

Now he's a murderer. Your "he bought two of the three ingredients" comment is nonsense.
Hunters typically buy rain gear, and weatherproof boots if they hunt in the rain. They also buy bullets.
By your logic, anyone who purchases rain gear/boots, is by default....a hunter.
Zimmerman's not being prosecuted for following anyone.true or false:
it's illegal to follow someone on a public street
Zimmerman's not being prosecuted for following anyone.
He's being prosecuted for following, with the intent to kill.
Either way, he made a terribly poor decision, and will pay with his life.

It would have been very easy for Zimmerman to explain what his reason for following Martin was. He chose to take an aggressive approach instead.
Now he'll spend most of his life in jail, or he'll be hunted down in 'self defense' if acquitted.

Exactly!This is the part I don't get. GZ immediately assumed the worst. GZ never told TM he was part of a neighborhood watch and just checking up on people he wasn't familiar with. If he had done so, it would be a big part of his defense: "I told Martin not to panic because I was just looking out for the neighborhood, blah blah blah."
