I cannot agree that Zimmerman was the aggressor based upon some accounts that I have heard that Zimmerman was returning to his vehicle, had broken off any sort of pursuit when he was suddenly attacked by Martin.

However, there is no way for me to be sure of that at this time of course.

But yeah, it would have been so very much better had this not have happened...what an unbelievable mess.

Sadly, it has become very plain to me that the media of this country, including conservative media, is driving this full speed, including using outright deception, while other forces are intentionally whipping people into a murderous frenzy, and on top of all that you have a president trying to make this about himself with his idiotic statement.

I have never seen anything like this in my entire life.

I’m just going to stick with what I said last evening- what a pathetic illustration of our society this entire debacle is.

So far, the only source I've seen for that version is Zimmerman himself.

All the other accounts come in mid-battle, after Martin had achieved superiority and before Zimmerman invoked the nuclear option. There is no independent witness as to who initiated the violence.

The guilty or not guilty verdict depends on who started the violent confrontation. Given the evidence so far, I think, if I were on the jury, I'd have to walk Zimmerman, albeit reluctantly. It comes down to the difference between "preponderance" and "beyond a reasonable doubt".

We need a neighborhood map with: entrances, crime scene, convenience store, Trayvon’s residence, Zimmerman’s pickup location, first sighting....

What do you think?

“I cannot agree that Zimmerman was the aggressor”, I too believe Trayvon’s case is weak, and getting weaker still for the race pimps lining up on his side.
