So the Zimmerman trial boils down to this

90. Maybe..

I've seen a fair amount of people convicted of battery under similar circumstances. Not saying it should be, just that it usually is believed that the first person to lay hands on another person committed battery and anything which results goes back to that person. Most judges I've heard in these cases don't excuse the action because the person was saying bad things or even threatening to do something. And "stalked" has a very specific legal definition which includes repeated menacing acts, not necessarily illegal individually, that when combined makes the person fear for their safety. This would more likely be some form of harassment..in the statutory sense..as I said, it will be interesting...and I haven't followed the details of this case very closely..there is certainly a chance I am missing something..also, it is impossible to forecast a jury decision..

How much longer is the trial supposed to last?
