carrying a loaded gun.

He went back to his car after losing sight of the kid.

The question is, was he justified in shooting the kid after having his nose broken, his head bashed in, and having the kid on top of him beating him?

Would be very difficult to prove that he followed the kid with the intent to eventually kill him. - Thelonious Dunk 2012-04-12 03:15:33 (47 views)

having a gun doesn't prove premeditation... they would have to prove that he was chasing him down - shikantaza 2012-04-11 21:53:17 (75 views)

is it fact there's two scuffles? One where TM bloodies him? then Zimmer - mistatwo mayn 2012-04-11 22:32:58 (63 views)

Yeah, it's all Martin's fault. Gotcha. - Flashfire 2012-04-12 08:22:41 (53 views)

The point is, Zimmerman didn't intend to kill anyone, and - gsw_hoops 2012-04-12 10:46:19 (68 views)

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN WAS A HELPLESS VICTIM! - Flashfire 2012-04-12 15:29:14 (44 views)

how did you determine the "fact pattern" you're presenting? - Max 2012-04-12 11:21:43 (46 views)

Witness has Martin on top of Zimmerman. Zimmerman was treated for injuries - gsw_hoops 2012-04-12 14:00:58 (53 views)

you don't know the part about Martin coming back to Zimmerman - Max 2012-04-12 15:34:10 (57 views)

All we have are the call to 9-1-1, eye witnesses, and Zimmerman's testimony. - gsw_hoops 2012-04-12 17:42:24 (47 views)

you can't assume that. Zimmerman was simply losing the fight at that point. - DC Warrior 2012-04-12 15:27:45 (59 views)

All we've heard thus far is that Martin confronted him at his vehicle - gsw_hoops 2012-04-12 17:39:59 (53 views)

From some third-party source, no doubt - Flashfire 2012-04-12 12:39:32 (43 views)

no... but if there's one scuffle that prompted the shooting then the shooting can't be premeditated - shikantaza 2012-04-11 23:02:22 (58 views)

It doesn't fit the criteria. And he had the gun before any conflict. They made the right call. - BackseatGM 2012-04-11 20:45:23 (55 views)

1st Degree is only chargeable by Grand Jury, irrc. - altamont 2012-04-11 19:11:47 (49 views)

typically needs premeditation, or committing rape/robbery/kidnaping - CARTIERFROHAWK 2012-04-11 19:05:43 (71 views)

was that what he did or did he already have it? - Krieger 2012-04-11 18:46:53 (136 views)
