that's considered a prerequisite to being a successful lawyer.

What possible scenario would put you in a place to do that? The verdict will all be based upon Zimmermans actions leading up to pulling the trigger. After all, he wasn't being beaten on his own property or in his home.
Merely taking steps to keep someone in view doesn't lawfully justify a physical assault.

True but it's hard to get your ass beat by staying in your locked car a house or two away and staying in contact with the cops.

Neither of which he had any obligation to do. He was getting his head beat in on a sidewalk, if I remember correctly, and that is community property which was in a developement in which Zimmerman owned property, where he had every right to be.

The physical evidence is that Martin battered Zimmerman. The investigating cops didn't Arrest him because they called it a justifiable homicide.

That being said... IMO Zimmerman is guilty of being stupid while armed. If he had backed off from following Martin there wouldn't have been a shooting. 911 told Zimmerman to let the cops deal with Martin.

Perhaps we should just stay inside our homes and never venture outside least some fine upstanding citizen decide to beat our heads against the concrete.

Well he thought Zimmerman was going to be easy meat, George did nothing wrong other than defending himself and the Cops agreed with it. This is politically driven, the little sewer rat got what he deserved !

I considered that initially but there is another reason that Zimmerman didn't back off.

Zimmerman was actually in tight with the local police as they worked with the neighborhood watch in that area. While I see the argument that Zimmerman didn't listen to 911, I can also see that he had been told how to operate the neighborhood watch by the local police and you don't watch a suspect by staying in your car while they go out of site.

MSNBC has already convicted Zimmerman.

They're only monitoring the trial to see if justice is served.

If I'm walking down the street and some one wants to know who I am and what my business is I would probably tell them it's none of theirs. I think nearly any here would.
I just don't see where it OK to arm yourself, leave your home and then your car to confront someone for no real valid reason except you don't like the way they look. Ask Zimmerman after it's over if it was worth it

Did you really think it would be any other way?

Since the physical facts (as reported) tend to support Zimmerman, the prosecutor has to come up with some kind of logic be it BS or not, to justify the charges & the trial.

This is 110% politically & racially motivated; if it were not, there'd be no trial.

That is both a precise and an accurate statement.

Your agenda is pretty blatant however.

Don't understand subtle nuance, huh Brent. I'll help you out.

They suggest America is watching and they better nail that 'white Hispanic' ass to the barn door or there'll be hell to pay.

He wasn't trying to "deal" with him, but merely keep his position in view for the police. When police told him to return to his car, he turned and headed back, upon which he was attacked by Martin who only then jumped out of the shadows.
