The State of Florida vs George Zimmerman: The Trial

Did ever attacked an adult for annoying you such as following you?

An Trayvon might had grown up to be a fine citizen but on that night he ,by his own actions, placed under person life and well being in danger to the degree that Zimmerman by a jury verdict was in his right to used deadly force to stop the attack.

The school did turn it in and the police found that the jewelry didn't match any that was stolen. Martin said that he was holding it for a friend but wouldn't say who. There is no reason to assume he lied to the school when confronted about it

Bill, your thinking on this issue...and the thinking of the people agreeing with it...is so sick there is almost no way to convey reasonable disgust with it.

Zimmerman without a doubt was stalking Martin...and was the aggressor. Whatever happened when the two came together is not nearly as important as the fact that the "coming together" happened because Zimmerman was stalking Martin.

Once again...I can feel some sense of forgiveness toward Zimmerman. He was a screw up and he made some lousy decisions that night…which ended in tragedy. But for the people like you, Bill, who are still spewing your bile toward Martin for reacting to being stalked…and for suggesting that he deserved death because he reacted the way he did…you have my utter contempt. It would be nice if the planet did not have your kind to pollute it, but here we are…and I guess those of us who feel as I do have to tolerate and abide the stench that comes from the kind of hatred that leads you to where you are.

The school did turn it in and the police found that the jewelry didn't match any that was stolen....

...The jewelry and watch, which Martin claimed he had gotten from a friend he refused to name, matched a description of items stolen during the October 2011 burglary of a house on 204th Terrace, about a half-mile from the school....

Mark O'Mara, lead defense attorney for George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin shooting case is speaking freely about Martin's criminal background now that his client has been acquitted.

Appearing on CNN's Headline News channel Monday morning, O'Mara was asked if Zimmerman has regrets over targeting a boy walking home without any ill intent.

O'Mara mentioned that Martin was under the influence of marijuana and that he was spotted near a home that had recently been burglarized.

O'Mara went on to say that Martin had recently been "caught with the fruits of a burglary." A reference to the watch, jewelry and burglary tool found in Martin's backpack by school authorities several months before.

With that comment, O'Mara is serving notice to those who will pursue Zimmerman in civil court that the barriers to evidence in the criminal case of Martin's recent troubled history before his death will not pertain in civil court.

In most states, to charge and convict a defendant of stalking, several elements must be proved Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. These elements include a course of conduct or behavior, the presence of threats, and the criminal intent to cause fear in the victim.

A course of conduct is a series of acts that, viewed collectively, present a pattern of behavior. Some states stipulate the requisite number of acts, with several requiring the stalker to commit two or more acts. States designate as stalking a variety of acts, ranging from specifically defined actions, such as nonconsensual communication or lying in wait, to more general types of action, such as harassment.

Most states require that the stalker pose a threat or act in a way that causes a reasonable person to feel fearful. The threat does not have to be written or verbal to instill fear. For example, a stalker can convey a threat by sending the victim black roses, forming his hand into a gun and pointing it at her, or delivering a dead animal to her doorstep.

To be convicted of stalking in most states, the stalker must display a criminal intent to cause fear in the victim. Various statutes require the conduct of the stalker to be "willful," "purposeful," "intentional," or "knowing." Many states do not require proof that the defendant intended to cause fear as long as he intended to commit the act that resulted in fear. In these states, if the victim is reasonably frightened by the alleged perpetrator's conduct, the intent element of the crime has been met
