The State of Florida vs George Zimmerman: The Trial

Patting one's self on the back that way can be injurious. You may dislocate your shoulder doing it as often as you have been.

So the idea that one of the family children would have attacked someone like Zimmerman and try to beat his brain out on a sidewalk is very near to science fiction.

So is the idea that Trayvon Martin tried to beat Zimmerman's brains out science fiction.

Sorry my family have a solid record of not raising criminals or having children kicked out of school or being found with jewelry that can not be explain and so on.

The jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of the murder charges against him, nothing concerning Trayvon Martin's action were included in the verdict. So no, it still remains fiction.

One might presume that the homeowner association felt a degree of responsibility for something to have shelled out a million bucks

Look Bill--there are millions of law abiding teenagers. It means they haven't been convicted of anything yet and it doesn't mean they have not broken the law and are law abiding teenagers

I think the laws needs to be fixed so does at least two of the jurors from the trial. The way it is now anyone can claim to be in fear of his or her life and get away with murder as one juror put it.

A person is justified in using deadly force if he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself.

In deciding whether George Zimmerman was justified in the use of deadly force, you must judge him by the circumstances by which he was surrounded at the time the force was used. The danger facing George Zimmerman need not have been actual; however, to justify the use of deadly force, the appearance of danger must have been so real that a reasonably cautious and prudent person under the same circumstances would have believed that the danger could be avoided only through the use of that force. Based upon appearances, George Zimmerman must have actually believed that the danger was real.

If George Zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in any place where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he reasonably believed that it was necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.

In considering the issue of self-defense, you may take into account the relative physical abilities and capacities of George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.

If in your consideration of the issue of self-defense you have a reasonable doubt on the question of whether George Zimmerman was justified in the use of deadly force, you should find George Zimmerman not guilty.

However, if from the evidence you are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that George Zimmerman was not justified in the use of deadly force, you should find him guilty if all the elements of the charge have been proved."

That's just another way of saying "marking your own exam papers" (MYOEP).

I hope that pointing it out to Bill reminds you to stop doing it yourself. Or at least reinforces your determination to.

Sorry not true as the jury found that Zimmerman acted in legal self defense from an attacked by Trayvon.

No, the jury found they had doubt as to whether Zimmerman acted in malice.

On the one hand it said the danger need not be actual but on the other it said it must be real. No wonder they were confused.

I was making a point...........
