Just my guess he will be charged with using excessive force in the altercation, but that none of the nonsense about hunting or attacking Martin will be included.

I think the issue of firing and killing Martin in self defense is a close call under the reported facts.

Zimmerman had gotten off the concrete and into the grass. Police were on the way. Zimmerman claim Martin threatened his life is a wild card, because Zimmerman was able to reach and fire his pistol, indicating he was not completely overpowered.

But I wasn’t there.

A punch to the face can be deadly whether someone is on grass or concrete.

Catch-22.

indicating he was not completely overpowered.

One well placed blow could change that.
