    The people defending Zimmerman on this board don't really have an argument. All they want is attention and to be perceived as unique.

    Zimmerman is guilty of murder and will be locked up. For Trayvon's family, I hope he rots in his cell for the crime and his attempt to be a victim.

    That's what you've concluded after all these pages?

    The Trayvon supporters all seem extremely emotionally invested, which leads to a lot of bias. Many here were swayed by the early media bias. There has not been conclusive evidence that I've seen that indicates Zimmerman didn't act in self-defense.

    That's why we've been needing more facts in this.

    Thanks for posting this.

    I have to be honest -- that's a very credible re-enactment. I have training in detecting body language and voice intonation changes when someone is lying, and GZ looked and sounded credible.

    I know you're just going for your typical "cutesy" humor, but I do have training in that.

    Thank goodness only honest people get that training, or else it'd seem like you were just saying fake, stupid **** to get attention or provoke a reaction.

    he sure fumbled around the explanation of why he got out of his car/being told not to follow.

    I believe TM threw the 1st punch, but it sure seems like the teen thought someone was following, possibly targeting, him.

    this will not end well for the TM fans and they will eventually fall back and blame some law instead of recognizing the character of these two individuals and why this happened

    but that's just the media casting it's political perception and the guilty following.

    For a guy in that situation, Zimmerman was very calm.

    Which gives him no legal right to assault someone especially to the point of beating their head on a sidewalk.

    Huh?? The Police asked him to do a reenactment of the crime and he was able to calmly explain what happened that night.

    The desperation you smell is from those who initially painted this runt of a guy intimidating TM.

    This is my guess too, based upon what facts I know, which admittedly are incomplete.

    TM was a lot bigger and more athletic than GZ. I would suspect that TM was especially paranoid that night, because he had mar1juana in his system (and perhaps even possibly out doing a drug deal.....could that explain why he was walking slowly in the rain....or perhaps just because of the mj in his system).
