Ted, Yes. I have explained that the normal physiological response to another person's aggression is to fight or flee. Why should Martin have reacted differently? Just because someone is tailing you does not give you a license to go beat that guy up. Even if Martin was fearing for his life, he clearly made snap judgements that turned out to be irrational, such as attacking a guy who turned out to be armed. That's what ultimately got Martin killed, not the fact that he was being tailed in the first place. That's what ultimately put reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors. But from your point-of-view, even tailing Martin should have put Zimmerman in jail, or at least taken away Zimmerman's right to defend himself after getting attacked. That's nonsense. Tenchusatsu
