Yes, Zimmerman followed Trayvon (not illegal) and was told “you don't need to do that.” (not a legal order)
If Zimmerman hadn't gotten out of bed that morning, none of it would have happened either.
It is my opinion that the prosecution will never be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman took the first swing, which I believe is the crucial point. And Trayvon’s girlfriend actually gives credence to the theory that Trayvon took the first swing. She said in her TV interview that Trayvon asked why George was following him and George replied by asking why Trayvon was there. The girlfriend said she heard no more conversation, but only what sounded like his phone falling. The next logical thing would be a response from Trayvon. I believe that the most likely response would have been the first swing from Trayvon.
It’s going to be fun watching Corey try to make the case that Zimmerman was the initial aggressor because he left his truck.
It’ll also be fun to see her try to make the case that he remained the aggressor even though he had lost Martin.
