So Why Would Zimmerman Not Necessarily Have Deserved a Swollen Nose and Bruises?

30. The Dooley case is instructive

At best Zimmerman has a Dooley case. Perhaps the forensics will show more (such as Zimmerman on top which makes it Murder). Dooley ended in a conviction for manslaughter, and that is the best that should happen for Zimmerman even if Martin threw the first punch after being accosted in the dark by an adult who had come out of his car. Dooley was jumped after turning to leave (the "victims" own daughter testified to this). He may have brandished his gun before the physical encounter (testimony differs on this). The victim did pursue him before the physical altercation and laid his hands on Dooley first.

"They (a couple which watched the altercation) testified last week they saw Dooley flip up his T-shirt, revealing a gun in his waistband, as he cursed James. They said Dooley then turned and headed home, but James spun him around and tried to grab the gun."

"The skateboarder, Spencer Arthur, also watched, stunned. He didn't see Dooley flash a gun but said he saw him pull out the weapon as he spun around."

"Danielle could hardly remember anything. She clutched a toy bunny named Monica as she testified. She has been in counseling for two years. She said she only remembered Dooley trying to go home."
