Charges possible for Zimmerman

Post by Stephen Eisel »

from CNN
George Zimmerman will be criminally charged, according to a senior law enforcement source familiar with the Trayvon Martin death investigation.
It's not yet clear what the charges would be. Special prosecutor Angela Corey is expected to hold a press conference at 6 p.m. ET.


Personally, I think the moment George chose to confront Trayvon (and got out of his car) that he (George) immediately lost his right to be protected by the "Stand His Ground" law. When I was 17, if some dude would have approached /questioned me about being in his neighborhood, most likely that dude would have gotten some attitude. Trayvon did not deserve a bullet nor death for being in "Zimmerman's neighborhood". George Zimmerman crossed a line.. He was not a police officer and used deadly forcce after he chose to confront someone that he deemed out of place in his neighborhood..

it is a sad situation.

Zimmerman is some kind of a hispanic.
So Trayvon thought Zimmerman was trying to steal his gold teeth, and confronted him.

Zimmerman outweighted Trayvon by about 100 pounds.
but he did not have a nightstick or billy club.

so, this was was a foolish misunderstanding that escalated.

It is amazing how many people know just what happened without having seen a shred of evidence.
