There is not one shred of evidence Zimmerman was defending himself

[Demo_Chris]

48. The only evidence for self defense is Zimmerman's word and judgement...

Which have been shown to be false and questionable.

Despite Z's claim, Martin was not under the influence of drugs. Despite Z's claim, Martin did noy have anything wrong with him, nor was he up to no good. Despite Z's claim, Martin almost certainly did not return from behind the buildings at the T to circle Z's truck in a threatening manner. Despite Z's claim, Martin almost certainly did not approach Z with his hand in his waistband, then while holding something in his hand.

Despite Z's claim to the contrary, we know from the location of the fight that Z did conntinue to pursue Martin all the way to the point of the fight. Despite Z's claim we know that Martin did not knock Z down and begin pounding his head on the sidewalk at the T intersection. Despite Z's claim, we know that Martin did not punch him in the face twenty times, or smother him, or muffle his cries.

We know that there was a fight of some kind. We don't know who started it, we don't know who was winning, but we do know that neither party was particularly injured prior to the gunshot. We know, based on witness testimony and physical evidence, that Zimmerman plays fast and loose with the facts, and we know that Martin was scared and had tried to avoid the fight altogether. We know, based on physical evidence and witness testimony, that Zimmerman pursued Martin over and over and over again.

At SOME point Zimmerman must advance some kind of evidence to support his claim that this was self-defense. He's the one making this claim, and his team needs to support it in some way. So far they have not done so.
