Yes, Zimmerman did get the shit beat out of him....no doubt. That's why I think that Zimmerman tried to capture him because that's the only why I would think that Trayvon would do so....he was fighting to get away from him and as a result, Zimmerman went and shot him somewhere in the process.
You can't go and pick a fight with someone and then claim self defense when the person obviously decides to fight back....that's ridiculous.
All of the evidence is in. Plenty of evidence Martin beat the crap out of Zimmerman. Zero evidence that Zimmerman tried to capture Martin. Zero evidence that Zimmerman confronted Martin. Zero evidence that Zimmerman started a fight. Zero evidence that Zimmerman even landed a single blow. Every reliable piece of evidence points to self-defense.
You can't go beat the crap out of someone, then complain when that person happens to be armed and shoots you. I don't care what the jury decides, there was no crime committed here by Zimmerman.
But as I've learned from talking to numerous people, the facts don't matter. People like you have their mind up. Doesn't really matter what actually happened or what the evidence at trial showed.
