Interesting deflection on your part...

Your post said nothinf about the legal burden of proof.

You took the leap from 'there is no evidence that martin didn't jump zimmerman' to 'martin doubled-back and attacked'.

Exactly when did lack of evidence that something "didn't" happen come to equal proof that it did?

And, if that is the case in your world then how about this...

"There is no proof that Zimmerman didn't follow Martin and confront him, gun in hand - Martin fought to keep from being shot"...by your standard that is equally true.

It is noted that you ignored the fact that, by your own map, zimmerman could not have been walking directly to his car since the fight happened off that track.

We have Zimmerman’s sworn statement that he was returning to his car. The prosecution has no evidence to contradict that.

That’s it. That’s all the evidence.

If you want to pretend that in reality he was NOT returning to his car, go ahead. There’s no evidence for that, but go ahead.

If you look at the map and consider the size of the homes that are nearby, this is a small area. Pretending that ten feet in one direction or the other is meaningful when two men are fighting out in an open area “proves” something is idiotic.

And a couple of other points to demonstrate how incredibly weak the prosecution's case is, and that this is basically a political prosecution:

The prosecution never sought Zimmerman's medical records for his injuries. That fact came out in the bond hearing.

Think about that. The prosecution NEVER EVEN SOUGHT Zimmerman's medical records before bringing charges of second degree murder. And there were weeks that elapsed before charges were brought.

And this is the kind of b.s. that makes up the prosecution's case:

UNIDENTIFIED MALE [from the state attorney's office]: Did he also not state that at some point, he the defendant — did he not state or claim that the victim in this case, Mr. Martin, put both hands one over his mouth and one over his nose so that he couldn’t breathe?

GILBREATH: Yes.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And all of sudden that’s when he was able to get free and grab the gun. Or I’m sorry, Martin was grabbing for the gun, did he not claim that too at some point. climb that?

GILBREATH: Yes.

This is the kind of crap they are reduced to. That someone being smothered is ipso facto incapable of getting hold of his gun and firing it. Incredible.

This case is a travesty.
