You can be on top and easily get your jeans and the back of your jacket wet when it's raining. Rain doesn't come up from the earth. What kind of ridiculous "evidence" is that? Wouldn't the wet ground during rain be even more likely to dirty your clothes? The back of Zimmerman's wet jacket was clean. If you're being beaten up on the ground, you should have at the very least, a little bit of dirt or scuffing on it. You could even make the argument that his jacket was that clean because the rain was constantly rinsing it while he was on top. Does it really matter who was on top though? They could of both been on top at one point.
There is no "alleged" race issue. Zimmerman has a long backlog of 911 calls on young black kids. I don't believe he would of pursued Trayvon if he wasn't black. He told the dispatcher Trayvon's race clear as day and made statements like, "******g punks, these ******** all get away." The dispatcher recommended that he not continue to pursue and wait for proper law enforcement. It doesn't matter if it's not illegal to neglect a police dispatchers request. All they're trying to prove is that Zimmerman created a scenario that could of been entirely avoided had he sat the hell down and decided not to racially profile and follow this kid. Zimmerman tells the dispatcher himself in detail about him pursuing Trayvon.
The whole confrontation happened because Zimmerman followed him. Had Zimmerman left him alone, Trayvon would of never known Zimmerman existed and went back to his dad's girlfriend's place with a can of Arizona and some Skittles to play video games and watch the NBA All-Star game. Trayvon had a right and a purpose to be there. Zimmerman's preconceived notions about black people made him approach and potentially harass this kid. Zimmerman is the only one who knows what really happened, but what reason would Trayvon have to flex on this guy if he wasn't provoked? Especially given the known criteria. Zimmerman went looking for trouble that wasn't there before Trayvon knew he existed.
