just got to work and turned the trial back on... didn't catch most of the 1st witness of the day.
saw a lot of debate in the last few pages about "self defense"...
take this scenario for instance.... woman is walking alone, at night, down an empty street... its really dark.... strange man appears behind her and is following her... she speeds up, he speeds up.... now she's scared.... she says stop following me and the guy keeps coming after her.... she then pepper sprays him.... he then shoots her...
self defense?
the thing that keeps being ignored imo is the fact that TM was probably scared too, he felt "threatened" by being aggressively followed by an ADULT male... the act of being "stalked"... "hunted" ... "tracked" seems confrontational to me...
that's what I truly think happened here... Zimmerman wouldn't back off and TM felt threatened so a physical confrontation ensued... GZ got his *** beat and fired a shot because he's that kind of coward
