We are saying that we can not prove that he is lying about it.
That's not the same thing.
Most of us are looking at the law. Is it perfect? Hell no, but that's how it is. We also believe that it's the CHARGE at this the problem... Murder does not equal Manslaughter.
If the charge was different, most of us wouldn't even blink an eye.
But we can prove (from his 911 call) that he exited his vehicle while using profanity and (while out of breath possibly from running) headed in
He later admitted to police the 911 operator "told me not to" but he did it anyway. In his mind, he was under a direct police order, and STILL bailed his vehicle in order to get closer to a person he thought to be on drugs and possibly armed.
Juries don't have perfect info. Very rarely is a crime committed on tape. But zimm isn't credible on the 1st punch because he lied about so many other things about who initiated it. We don't have to believe him on this one point we cannot disprove - the burden is on him because he killed someone. I can't chase a getbigger into an alley, shoot him, and say "he punched me first, you just didn't see that part" when I'm the punk with a gun who chased him into that alley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
33, you don't know who started the fight. You don't You just don't. You have the word of a dude who shoved a cop and lied about other things that night, who chased the kid into the dark to confront him, to avoid wtinesses. I know you hate trayvon because, well, because you do. But it's possible they're both bags of shit.
