George found not guilty .

If a person has run 30 feet towards their home before being restrained using everything they had to get away, but because the other person says I hurt the back of my head trying to stop you from getting away so I had to kill you.
Is it truly a justified killing?

 

Your "What If's" are irrelevant and silly.

 

They aren't not meaningless . Law is law in Florida .

 

I have to clarify your point. While the Press refers to it as a "Stand Your Ground" hearing, the Statute does not. In fact, it is actually an Immunity Hearing for Justifiable Homicide. George's case has never been SYG. It has been Justifiable Homicide - Self Defense.

The question is not so much that the Defense chose to not waste resources on the pre-trial hearing, as they knew there was no way they were going to get it, due to politics, as the merits of the actual case rated immunity.

O'Mara has the legal standing to petition for Immunity from Civil Action now that the case has been decided, and has indicated that he will. He is also pursuing a hearing for Prosecutorial Misconduct regarding Evidence tampering and other allegations. The same Judge will hear that, although it is a bit down the road.

 

Of course they are. Zimmerman says so, and Martin says nothing.

Let me explain something. I'm fine with the jury verdict. There was a burden of proof, and they didn't find it met.

But let's not pretend that this means it's 'proved' that Zimmerman's story is 100% true. It just means that prosecutions story was not proved. Big difference. So there's still room for folks to differ in their views of what might really have gone down.

 

Disagree with the verdict, still believe to be partially at fault for setting up the situation which resulted in the death of a teenager, but the jury has spoken and that is that. Moving on.

 

The evidence shows that Zimmerman put himself in the situation. And one way to avoid being attacked "unprovoked" is to not provoke people.

 

False. Show us where Z "voluntarily entered the ring", which is to state that he volunteered to be a pugilist.

I do not know if you think it logic. Or knowledge. But whatever you think it, it is false, and is ripped to shreds with your every post.

 

Law is based on facts, and the facts of this case did not introduce female victims or 80-year-old women.

 

No one knows what caused Zims injuries, that not a what if. They were obviously running toward Martin's house as Zim had his headlights on at the walkway and there was no reason for him not to know where his truck was located. He never explained that part and even the defense conceded they couldn't come up with an explanation when they played the cartoon so the left that motion out and just moved the scene from the walkway to the crime scene near Martin's home.


That said:

You can prove me false that Zimmerman voluntarily put himself in the situation? Really? It's in the original police report. I'm fine with my posts, you ought to be thoroughly embarrassed by your own.

 

His last statement to 911 was to say have the police just call me on my phone instead of meeting me at my truck or the clubhouse.
2 minutes and 30 seconds later people were calling 911 about the fight.
You really believe it took nearly 2 minutes to get back to his truck.
