1. Zimmerman appointed himself watch-captain, he carried a gun, and he made repeated phone calls to Sanford PD dispatch, which instructed him to desist at following Martin;
2. Zimmerman continued to follow Martin, however he did that, both in his car and out of his car, and how the confrontation actually proceeded may not affect the murder 2 trial, since Zimmerman intended to use his gun, not merely to cause Martin to desist at something, but to shoot Martin dead, from 1-18 inches away;
3. Just on FoxNews, Megyn Kelley had Marc Fuhrman and a criminologist on, who revealed Zimmerman definitely initiated the first contact with Martin, but since Sanford PD would not seal the crime scene, at the area of the murder, the second contact is controverted, but Zimmerman had to follow Martin, outside his car, to confront Martin;
4. Zimmerrnan can get charged with a hate crime, even if he gets off murder-2, since he had a tendency to focus particularly, on black subjects, and he showed particular intent, over time, before killing Martin.
Seems to me Zimmerman's and other criminal intent is all over the place. Also, look for laws to get changed, over this. We could see USCA 2 challenges, all over the states, from backlash. Yeah, those are contusions, which I did NOT see, in prior pictures. So what? Zimmerman couldn't stay in his car, and he couldn't keep his gun in his pants.
More from former prosecutor Megyn Kelly's show, she relayed a Sanford PD detective alleges Zimmerman could have avoided the confrontation, by staying in his car, and she believes this is telling evidence, toward conviction. The geeks she is hosting now are now going off on the prosecutor, and Alan Dershowitz is claiming she is known for over-charging.
Still, Zimmerman had an automatic, which had a bullet in the chamber, however that got there, and he had a two-stage confrontation with Martin, which the defense will admit. Since the crime scene was allowed to degrade, claims of self-defense by Zimmerman will fail, in light of how he was not arrested, and he tried to claim 'stand your ground,' without cause.
Every way I look at this, Zimmerman exploited what he had, to commit murder and evade review. Boo-boo pictures won't save him. He blew a guy away, with that gun he had. He intended to contrive a way to get the gun out and use it, and he did the deed.
Do the crime, do the TIME.
