The State of Florida vs George Zimmerman: The Trial

"Greatly harming him" is an oxymoron. Nobody has proven your claim, nor was it provided during trial as evidence. His injuries were minor that didn't require any medical treatment beyond first aid.

Defense attorney Don West asked Carter to detail the concepts in Florida's self-defense statue. Though his line of questioning was met with repeated objections from the prosecution, Circuit Judge Nelson allowed Carter to detail the concepts he discussed in class.

Carter said that if a person has "reasonable apprehension and fear" of death or great bodily harm, they may respond with deadly force in order to defend themselves. Under the "Stand your Ground" statute in Florida, the person does not have the duty to first retreat before responding with force, even if the person is outside their home, he said.

West questioned Carter about whether a person needs to be injured to be in fear for their life, apparently referencing Tuesday testimony from a medical examiner who said Zimmerman's injuries were "insignificant."

"The fact alone that there isn't an injury doesn't necessarily mean the person did not have a reasonable apprehension and fear," Carter replied.

However, injuries "tend to show or support that the person had a reasonable apprehension and fear," he said.

"You don't have to wait until you're almost dead to defend yourself?," West asked.

"No, I would advise you probably don't do that," Carter replied, as some in the courtroom laughed.

I'm kinda surprised to see that post from you. Even if some folks believe that Zimmerman was justified in shooting Trayvon Martin, they should at least have some compassion in the death of a teenager and not makes jokes of his death.

His death was the direct results of his own actions in attacking Zimmerman.

His death was the result of sterotyping by Zimmerman, who not only sterotyped him, but then stalked him.

One act following another, until the act of murder.

Bullshit without him attacking Zimmerman by knocking him down and getting on top of him he would still be collecting underage nude pictures of naked girls and holding women jewelry he just can not explain and being kicked out of schools and bragging about his ability to fight.
Oh yes experimenting with producing illegal drugs and in general going on from being a hoodlum what to be into a full blown hoodlum.

You seem to lack any sense of logical thought.

I would certainly have categorized Martin as a hoodlum based on what we know about him. Young black male, dressed in a dark hoodie at night walking through a primarily white neighborhood. Most definitely profiled as a hoodlum considering previous crimes in the neighborhood and worthy of being tailed.

The fact that Martin attacked first confirms that he was a hoodlum. A normal person being followed by a suspicious person would hurry home or to a public place. Not wait in ambush of the person following them. That is something a hoodlum would do.

There is no proof that Martin attacked first much less waiting in ambush

even if he did, had the right the stand his ground and not retreat or else the whole stand your ground law is meaningless.
