The "girlfriend" who claims she wasn't a girlfriend lied several times under oath and keeps changing her story. I watched her whole testimony yesterday and she was mumbling, rude, didn't care about being there or even the seriousness of the trial. Horrible witness but the states case is so weak they were forced to use her. The state charged Zimmerman with murder 2 to try to get him to plea bargain down to manslaughter. There just isn't enough evidence to justify a murder 2 conviction. Manslaughter is possibly what happened and would be much easier to prove but Zimmerman fought instead of caving in. And it very well may be self defense. Its very unclear what happened but since the burden of proof is on prosecution there shouldn't be a conviction. And as many keep repeating, if Zimmerman never got out of the car none of this would have happened. True but he had every right to leave his car. And the operator NEVER told Zimmerman not to leave his car (and had no legal right to tell him he couldn't). Operator said there is no need to do that when Zimmerman said he would follow but the operator also said to watch so it was conflicting instructions. The key factor is regardless of whether Zimmerman followed Martin or not is who started the fight. And the only witness to that was the "girlfriend" on the phone who is a very unreliable witness.
Its hilarious that you concern yourself with zimmermans rights and show no compassion for Martins rights. Blah blah blah.. zimmerman had the right to do this, zimmerman had the right to do that, zimmerman had the right to get out of his car....
But NOT ONCE , do you admit that Trayvon Martin had the RIGHT to be LEFT ALONE.
Trayvon had the expressed freedom to travel this country freely and without interference. Trayvon had the right to walk where ever he wanted to without being considered a "suspect" without proof. Trayvon has the right of the presumtion of innocence as a free american. Trayvon also had the right to self preservation. Trayvon had the right to defend HIMSELF from a "stranger" who was unauthorized to apprehend him and block his travels. Trayvon had the right to make whatever fateful judgements he made when zimmerman presented his weapon to him.
YOU are incorrect on many grounds. First, zimmerman was TOLD not to follow him and then given a "directive" to instead, meet the police at the mailboxes. A "directive" that zimmerman ignored. Whether or not the police dispatcher has the right to order him around isnt the point. The point is, Zimmerman had NO RIGHT to interfere with Martin from the jump.
Being BLACK isnt a crime, unless you are a racist. Being BLACK isnt probable cause to suspect a crime is about to be committed.
This is the falacy of your argument.
You might want to re think your position.
Remember, the night of shooting, the LEAD detective CHARGED Zimmerman with a felony murder charge, and it was the local DA who rejected the charge and that action was later overturned by the feds and the state.
Better get your facts in order bro.
Peace
