[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]But that is exactly what Zimmerman did. Zimmerman posed a threat. He had a gun and was pursuing TM. Zimmerman advanced towards TM. So TM would have been justified in self defence. [/quote]
And how do you know all of this?  Clairvoyance, or is there actual evidence?

Also, assume all that is true.  TM may have been justified in self-defense - but that doesn't mean Z is deprived of it in all circumstances.   Isn't there eyewitness testimony, and corroborating physicalevidence that TM had Z on the ground, and was on top of him, hitting him?  If so, that under FLorida's aggressor statute, self-defense is available to Z.  [/quote]

Which part do you think is in question?  On the 911 tapes Zim clearly indicated he was following TM.  Zim also possessed the weapon that killed TM.  Which part is debatable????[/quote]

What actually happened after GZ hung up the phone is unknown, with snippets pieced together from very limited eyewitness testimony and TM's call with his girlfriend.  Virtually nothing has been firmly established.  I happen to believe that is exactly what happened, but until more facts come out, it's not something you, I or anyone else assume with any certainty.   In fact, Z claims he was headed back to his car.  Although there's reason to question that statement.

But in any event, as I said, even if that's all true, and I think (think! not know!) it is, it doesn't automatically deprive GZ of a self-defense defense.  [/quote]
