Hell if I know... but there apparently was a witness that observed Z laying on his back with TM straddling over him. I'm reserving any opinion until more facts are revealed.-Whiteroom- wrote:

How is it proven it was self defence, when he himself admitted to approaching Martin, at night, in what is known as a fairly high-crime neighbourhood?13rin wrote:
I'm just trying to understand when you find the use of deadly force acceptable during self defense, if at all. But nice dodge, now can you dodge a wrench?
For all we know Martin was the one acting in self defence. After all he was the one approached by a guy who had been following him. In a car. At night. In the rain. He was 17 and approached by a bigger guy who is older than him. Maybe he thought he was being followed and about to be attacked, so he freaked.
... then Zimmerman may have a glass jaw?Poseidon wrote:
Although I will say the one thing I don't buy is that Martin overpowered Zimmerman because of his height. Anyone seen a picture of him? He was lanky as hell and Zimmerman looks like a pretty big dude. If he got overpowered by a 17 year old kid who probably weighed 160 soaking wet, well...
It's not the police who determine guilt or innocence and it never has been. They arrest on suspicion.Jay wrote:
Innocent until proven guilty is a fucking awful precedent, innit? Just because a gun is involved, does not make the shooter worthy of automatic jail time, sorry.AussieReaper wrote:

Astonished at why this guy has not been charged yet.
Equally astonished at how "they" try to blame his actions on a law that allows you to stand your ground.
Also - shifty you should have made this a poll you goose.
Umm, yes, the police are the ones responsible for judging if a person needs to be arrested on the spot. They saw no cause and released him. The DA can still file charges, and probably will because of all the hoopla. Now kindly shut the fuck up.AussieReaper wrote:

If you can't even understand the most basic separation of legal authority then you have zero right to argue anything to do with this case.
When have the police ever been able to judge guilt or innocence? Are you even aware why the law fails if they cannot arrest on the suspicion of guilt as with this case?
Actually as I pointed out in my well cited and beautifully formatted post, the police did in fact want to arrest and charge him.Jay wrote:

Judging if they should be arrested isn't a determination of guilt. The police did see cause to arrest him.Jay wrote:

That's also what I heard. They said that on the scene Z had a broken nose and cuts behind his head. This is consistent with the story of the witness. Now, there's a video where he was being brought wherever and he didn't have any blood so they claim it's not true. However, when you have a freaking broken nose you stop the bleeding and the bleeding behind your head. He had plenty of time between meeting with the cops to being dropped off wherever to clean it up. I've broken my nose twice from accidents and both times I stopped the bleeding in about 3 minutes even though there was a lot.13rin wrote:
