>> Yeah, someone is following you; the typical reaction is fight or flight. This is a stupid statement, even for you. For multiple reasons. First, there was never any evidence presented that Martin was being "followed" at the time of the incident. The only information presented during the trial was that Z was returning to his car at the time the conflict ensued. Secondly, you can't just attack someone for following you. If you do, that is assault. >> Just by following and running after him is provocation. Don't give me this bullcrap that you would simply ignore someone following/chasing you. You have consistently been ignoring the facts presented at trial in favor of your own version which has no relationship to the truth at all. And while I probably wouldn't "ignore" someone who was following (no one, not even the prosecution, has suggested there was any "chasing"), neither would I attack them unless I had reason to believe I was being personally threatened. >> That's what the experts are saying; that Zimmerman will get an acquittal. Let's see what the jury thinks. Remember.........they will get instructions to consider lesser infractions like manslaughter. They will also get instructions that if the prosecution hasn't proved that Z was NOT defending himself, he is not guilty. You never know what the jury is going to do, but Zimmerman clearly should not be convicted. Of anything.
