If da’ truth don’t fit, we must acquit. The Great OZ has spoken.

Zimmerman was on bottom right before the shot

Zimmerman was the one screaming all along, and right before the shot

Witnesses who think the opposite of the above are only those who were basing their assumptions on the images in the media portraying Martin as a young boy, and based on that assumed the larger man on top must be Zimmerman, and the one with the higher sounding voice (scream) must be Martin. These are also witnesses who were either far away or who only heard the event.

Zimmerman's derogatory comments were aimed at those who had been burglarizing his neighborhood, were made long before the encounter, and occurred when he was talking about the break-ins with the police. Martin's derogatory comments were aimed directly at Zimmerman, occurred right before the encounter, and were made while he was talking about Zimmerman on the phone.

Zimmerman was sustained multiple injuries, and Martin sustained none, right before the shot

Martin either broke Zimmerman's nose right before the fight, proving that it was his aggression which led them to be in that position, or he broke his nose while his head was on the ground, which would put anyone in fear of their life.

Putting aside the obvious defense that Martin may have bene reaching for Zimmerman's gun, arguing (as the prosecution seems to be doing) that someone in Zimmerman's position (on bottom) should wait until he sustains a life-threatening injury before being able to use his weapon in self-defense is utterly ridiculous. When you've been pinned to the ground, your nose has already been broken, you're yelling repeatedly for help, you and the attacker know that neighbors are calling 911, AND despite this the attack continues, you have ample reason to fear that the next injury you sustain will be life threatening.

The prosecution's angle now seem to be that Zimmerman's injuries weren't severe enough to justify use of lethal force, I suppose he should have allowed Martin to pound away and do some more damage.

The state isn't seeking justice, they are offering a sacrifice to the mob!

Jonathan Good said he heard a faint noise coming from the back of his home in the Retreat at Twin Lakes on Feb. 26, 2012. When he heard a louder noise, he went outside to investigate. He said he saw two men engaged in a “tussle”...

So this assault lasted longer than 40 seconds -- perhaps as long as 2 and a half minutes.

Rachel Jeantel and the prosecution and the scheme team are all toast.
