Zimmerman is a convicted criminal with a history of violence. Martin isn't.
If Zimmerman's father wasn't a former magistrate judge he would already have been in jail and this case closed.
Zimmerman's father, a retired magistrate judge, fought back against those allegations in a recent letter to the Orlando Sentinel. “The portrayal of George Zimmerman in the media, as well as the series of events that led to the tragic shooting, are false and extremely misleading," Robert Zimmerman wrote. "Unfortunately, some individuals and organizations have used this tragedy to further their own causes and agendas. George is a Spanish-speaking minority with many black family members and friends. He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever.

One thing this story doesn't make clear is who threw the first blow. If Zimmerman grabbed the victim by the collar or gave him a push to get him going....
If you consider the last person to hear him alive, the girl on the phone with him heard Zimmerman ask what he was doing in the neighborhood and then she heard a noise as if the phone fell, before the line went dead.
Sounds very much like he could have been grabbed from behind or shoved, resulting in the drop of his phone.
Again,just like the witness who said Zimmerman was on the bottom,his girlfriend being a witness on the phone,is all hearsay.
Hearsay is information gathered by one person from another person concerning some event, condition, or thing of which the first person had no direct experience. When submitted as evidence, such statements are called hearsay evidence. As a legal term, "hearsay" can also have the narrower meaning of the use of such information as evidence to prove the truth of what is asserted. Such use of "hearsay evidence" in court is generally not allowed. This prohibition is called the hearsay rule.

Many believed Casey Anthony was guilty,OJ Simpson was guilty,and all the cops that beat Rodney King were guilty. We all know what happened after the facts,and evidence was presented.

The law says that people who have a reasonable belief that their life is in imminent danger can use deadly force, no matter where they are, and they have no duty to see if they can escape the situation safely

So.. because the media exploited it he is innocent? So because he has black family members he can't be racist?
This is retarded.

Let me get this straight. I can stalk someone while carrying a gun, confront that person scaring the daylights out of them, become "shocked" when that person get his dander up at my untoward behavior and then I can legally shoot him?
Dude.. that is NOT what those laws are for. This is a misuse of that law and I am confident the Grand Jury will see it too.
First off, Zimmerman felt he was doing his civic duty as part of the neighborhood watch. From what I’ve read, he confronted the guy and asked what he was doing there. If Martin had said “I’m just going to the store for skittles” then I’m sure that would have been that until the police arrived. Instead, Martin decided to beat the stuffing out of the guy. Zimmerman didn’t pull a gun on him until Martin attacked him.
