At this point, I'm going to play Devil's Advocate, merely so people will know what they may expect if they make the argument about Martin being the aggressor. Remember, this is only a test of the FR Broadcasting System.
"Yeah? But what if Zimmerman pointed his gun at Martin first? That's assault with a deadly weapon! HE was the first aggressor!"
End of test.
Note that saying Zimmerman had the handgun drawn is not only jumping to conclusions, but it's contrary to what we've been told is Zimmerman's story - that part of the wrestling on the ground including wrestling for a holstered handgun.
I'm a little concerned with how narrow Uhrig's definition of 'aggressor' is, but he's the one who knows Florida law. He said 'physical.' Don't know what he would say if Zimmerman did, in fact, point a handgun first. As I understand common law and as I read Florida common law and statutes, that would be little 'a' assault (a common law tort), and quite likely capital 'A' criminal Assault (Florida Statutes 784.011), and double caps criminal Aggravated Assault (Florida Statutes 784.021). Assuming, of course, something not in evidence (and we're told contradicted by Zimmerman): Zimmerman pointing a handgun first, without provocation and legal defense to do so.
The youngster’s don’t understand the concept of “devil’s advocate” anymore.
However, an unarmed teen facing a man with a drawn handgun is not likely to pummel him in the face and sit on top of him, providing a handy target. Plus, he would need both hands to slam Zimm’s head into the sidewalk, meaning he was not wrestling for a gun. He didn’t know there was a gun at that point.
A man holding a gun is not going to be decked in the nose and end up on his back in the grass with his head being pounded repeatedly on the sidewalk.....If he had pulled his gun he would have been holding it when the police arrived and Trayvon would still be alive.
The devil looses .......again.
