You're not the first to make that claim.
I suspect a more precise phrasing would be:
the preponderance of the evidence PRESENTED AT TRIAL heavily suggests zimmerman was in the right, PERHAPS.
I wouldn't know.
I did not attend the trial.
I televiewed only a few seconds of it.
If you say so.
But deliberately or not, you're changing the topic I'm addressing.
YOU are addressing the trial.
I am addressing the facts of the case.
This image for example, is cited by those that worship Zimm as a hero as "proof" that Martin was a thug, and viciously attacked Z.
But those that have ever investigated a crime scene understand if it was Z that forced the confrontation leading Martin to believe he was being night-stalked by a gun-toting trouble-maker (which happens to be PRECISELY the case), Martin might have felt his life way in danger, and SYG.
It's unwise to allow "evidence" such as this to merely be fodder for confirmation bias.
Amen.
Thanks for that.
That is what I have assumed. The prosecution WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BEEN botched to the gills for Z to walk on this one. The Sanford Police Dispatch recording alone should have locked Z up for decades, if not dangled him from a string.
Or precisely as it appears, a school boy walking from the candy store to his father, that was groundlessly* suspected (corroborated by 911)
when a suspicious, ill-trained gun-toting, night-stalking rule-breaker tracked the boy down and killed him. I'm less than impressed with your "blame the victim" approach here. By Z's own accounting Trayvon turned and ran, obviously in an effort to AVOID a confrontation, not start one.
* Z even confesses this to police: "I don't know what his deal is." Z
