I don't see any chance of a conviction here, there is way too many ifs in the case. And with the way the Stand Your Ground Law is written in Florida, Zimmerman should be acquitted.

Had to do it bit hell probably get off

Didnt another guy get convicted in Florida last year, after he tried to use that law?? They basically said since he had a weapon and the guy he killed didn't. He had no right.. Something like that

Let me clarify, I think Zimmerman used excessive force in this incident. I also believe he was wrong in following Martin even after the police specifically told him not to. But the he-said she-said stories involved in this case will make it hard to get a conviction.

I agree Aggie Jay.

[lol[ plus one for you!

Yup, that's what I'm saying.

Because he took the law into his own hands by following the young man after calling the cops. The police specifically told Zimmerman not to follow him and yet he still followed him. Had he not followed Martin, this situation would not have occurred. You're right about me not knowing the evidence, but common sense tells you that if he doesn't follow the kid, no altercation ensues.

so what you're saying is kids can't commit crimes? How do you presume innocence based on age when teenagers commit crimes on a daily basis?

And no I wouldn't want an innocent man (if he truly turns out to be) charged if my son was the perp.

Look, I don't know the facts of the case, just like 99% of the rest of the American public....but you can't presume guilt or innocence based on age or he is someone's son.

I agree, he should have let the Police handle it.

With the facts I know an I'm sure I don't know all of them, it's a self defense case. Supposedly Zimmerman was getting his head bashed in by Martin, there is video evidence of zimmerman's head bleeding. He is 17 yrs oldand not so much a kid. I know 17 yr old that could beat the shit out of a 50 yr old, Prime example jay85. If the Martin Was punching him excessively and didn't seem to be stopping anytime soon then Zimmerman had every right to shoot him. What says that if Zimmerman wouldn't have shot him that he would be here today?
