@BillRM,
Quote:There is little question Trayvon was doing his very very best that night to severely harm or kill Zimmerman.
On the contrary, there is a great deal of question about that, and about whether Martin's actions reflected self defense on his part.
It's really time you acknowledged that you don't know what happened in that final confrontation between Zimmerman and Martin.
You don't know who provoked it, or who became physical first, or exactly what transpired when they scuffled with each other. And you definitely do not know whether it was Martin who was trying to defend himself, and his own life, from Zimmerman because Zimmerman had pursued him and acted in a threatening manner when he finally confronted him.
There are no witness statements that unequivocally answer any of those question, nor does the forensic evidence, including Zimmerman's injuries, answer any of those questions.
And you don't even know the exact version of events that Zimmerman gave to the police--because his statements have not yet been made public, and the prosecutor is currently trying to keep them from being released to the public prior to a trial. So nothing you have been saying is actually firmly rooted in the facts or evidence of this case--nothing.
Zimmerman apparently gave more than one version of what happened--the head pounding story was only one version--and it was the contradictions and inconsistencies in his accounts that raised doubts in the minds of the police and investigators regarding his credibility. And the prosecutor said, only last week, that his shifting stories, and the inconsistencies, are part of the evidence which will be used against him.
So your arrogant pronouncements regarding your certainty of what happened are nothing more than bullshit. If the facts of this case were clear there would be no controversy about it. It would not require adjudication in a court of law. The facts in this case have never been clear.
Your posts are nothing more than a mindless, and obsessive, reiteration of your
fantasies about what happened based on your own preconceived gung-ho support for the gun laws, and self defense laws, in the state of Florida, with little or no recognition that those laws might not apply in this case--particularly if Zimmerman had instigated and provoked the deadly encounter, and he had other means of defense beside deadly force available to him, and if Martin was the one re-acting defensively to a threat posed by Zimmerman.
And the more you reiterate your totally unsubstantiated pronouncements of Zimmerman's "innocence", and your indignation that he is even being held accountable for his actions, the more like a dimwitted fool you sound. Go peddle your regurgitated NRA bullshit elsewhere.
