Will jurors just forget what they heard?

You cannot stalk someone in one incident... he followed him. That did not give Martin justification for instigating a physical altercation.

Sure you can. If you are talking about a legal context you might be right (do you have anything other than your assertion for even that) but in the common use of the word, you certainly could stalk someone in a single incident.

It would certainly give someone a reason to instigate a verbal altercation. We don't have any good proof who started the physical altercation and even who started the verbal altercation is in dispute. Zimmerman's claims are the only proof of who began the physical altercation.
 
that is quite simple and can be done as the weapon is drawn... or it could be that he did not have the safety on.

Really, easy under the circumstances? The safety not on, would not be good to bring up in my opinion, why wasn't the safety on?
 
firing a gun in an area like he was in could cause secondary injuries to people in homes.

Why didn't he have his safety on?


because he held and indifference to human life
 
Really, easy under the circumstances? The safety not on, would not be good to bring up in my opinion, why wasn't the safety on?

1) Yes... at least as 'easy' as drawing the weapon. The safety is located where it is easy to flip on off (typically with the thumb).

2) I agree it would not be good if the safety was off to bring that up. While law enforcement usually do holster without the safety... that would add to the theory that he was a wanna be cop and/or looking to 'cowboy up'.
 
Everyone remember that Zimmerman has the burden to prove that Martin was using force that would cause "imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or
another" OR the imminent commission of Aggravated Battery against himself." That is DIRECTLY from Florida Standard Jury Instruction (Criminal) 3.6(f). Now here is the kicker, the standard for Zimmerman is NOT beyond a reasonable doubt. MICHAEL V. MONTIJO, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.
 
Trayvon had only two injuries.


a bullet hole in his chest and two scuffed knuckles.


the injuries on trayvon suggest he only hit zimmy once
 

Jurors also heard Tuesday from Dr. Valerie Rao, a medical examiner in Jacksonville, Fla., who concluded after studying photos that Mr. Zimmerman’s injuries were “very insignificant” and “not life threatening,” and that scrapes on the back of his head could have come from just one strike against the sidewalk. Her testimony cast doubt on Mr. Zimmerman’s claim that Mr. Martin struck him repeatedly, banging his head on the pavement, causing him to fear for his life. But under cross-examination by Mark O’Mara, one of Mr. Zimmerman’s lawyers, Dr. Rao conceded that Mr. Zimmerman’s injuries could have come from multiple blows.


Mr. O’Mara also noted that Angela Corey, the special prosecutor in the case, had recommended that Dr. Rao be appointed, although she insisted that had no bearing on her testimony. The state also presented a television interview from 2012 with Mr. Zimmerman by Sean Hannity, the Fox News host, in which Mr. Zimmerman recounted his version of events before adding, “I feel that it was all God’s plan,” as Mr. O’Mara squirmed by his side.

Is this the testimony you referred to Rana?

Um, no they do not suggest any such thing. A person is not necessarily going to get injuries from slamming another persons head into the ground. Nor do you necessarily get injuries from hitting someone.
 
when flesh and bone hit flesh and bone you better believe you get injured.

why do you think boxers wear gloves?
 
the two head cuts were minor and due to the curve of the head and their placement could have easily happened with one strike.

THAT was what the examiner believed of the injuries.


she has done this before you know
 
If trayvon had put his hand on zimmys mouth why didn't he bite him?

You sure have lots of answers for someone who hasn't been in that position.

When a woman gets raped, why doesn't she just "buck" her aggressor off? Why doesn't she just "bite" him?

God you are an idiot
 
No, the one where she said the injuries were insignificant. Does matter if he was hit multiple times, in my opinion, what sticks with me are insignificant, didn't require stitches.

If you head is being hit into the ground, fear of loss of consciousness with a person beating on you would indeed matter. The fact that the injuries didn't require stitches is meaningless (my opinion). She is also a witness for the prosecution.
