I saw that post, but I don’t buy it. Two completely different cases. One was a woman having her door busted down by someone. No time for police and her life was in imminent danger. At first Zimmerman was in no imminent danger and was just following him and reported it to the police. What happened afterwards is the question.
I don’t necessarily buy it either. But it makes the point that we really don’t have all the facts regarding this case. And some facts will forever be in some people’s heads.
I don’t agree with everything Zim did, based on what I’ve read, at least, but I also think a strong case for self defense may be in order here. Or, more precisely, there is not a strong enough case for murder.
The only way, in my mind, that Zims first actions really play into this is if it could be proven that his goal, in following (and maybe confronting) Tray was to cause a physical confrontation. If that can’t be proven, there is really no case, based on what I am reading of eyewitness testimonies.
