"I take that you believe that George is guilty of at least some crime."

You take it incorrectly. I have said NOTHING that indicates George may be guilty of anything related to the TM situation. No idea about the rest of his life.

"...I think it is more likely than not that Trayvon threw the first punch and was on the verge of killing George, but that's just speculation on my part...

Baring some unknown video, all there will be at trial IS speculation.

I hope there will be cameras allowed. I expect the Prosecution to fight HARD to keep them out, and fight even harder to limit what evidence is allowed.

Fortunately for all of us, you need proof beyond a reasonable doubt to convict someone. Speculation just doesn't cut it. Hopefully, the jury will convict or not convict on the actual evidence. If the prosecution can't prove the charges, George walks. Whether George is legally convicted or not, he may or may not be morally guilty of Trayvon’s death.

FL has a sunshine law that apparently puts all trials on TV. I expect that this one will be on TV too.

And for those who fear that a not guilty verdict will cause riots, I think that just about any verdict is likely to cause riots.

Both sides will fight hard to restrict evidence. That's what lawyers do...fight for their side.
