My State of Florida vs Zimmerman Prediction ...

23. That is what drives me nuts.

Martin was not a criminal. He did nothing to deserve what he received. Zimmerman is not the guy you want as the poster boy for defending your turf. He is a narcissistic, pathological liar. He told numerous stories that have more holes then Swiss Chess as well as bold face lies.

1. He told Sean Hannity that he didn't know anything about Stand Your Ground, forget about the fact that he receive and A in a class that spent significant time discussing it.

2. He was a cop wannabee whose police application was denied, wanted to do ride alongs and mannerisms that night were like he was a cop.

3. Trayvon hid behind a bush and jumped out to attach Zimmerman. In all the pictures and videos of the complex, I did not see one bush large enough to hide Martin.

4. Trayvon slammed Zimmerman's head on the concrete numerous times (20-30) while Trayvon put his hands over Zimmerman's mouth, grabbed for the gun, and still held onto the skittles. Yes - Martin was an octopus.

5. Recreations conducted with someone playing Martin on top and someone playing Zimmerman on the bottom show that Martin could not have possibly seen the gun nor be able to reach for the gun. With all the things Zimmerman accused Martin of, Zimmerman could not have reached for the gun as well if it were in the holster. It makes you think that Zimmerman might have already had the gun out of the holster when he approached Martin.

6. Zimmerman didn't know the name of the street. Now from what I have heard, there are only 3 streets in the complex, the street he could not name was the main street, and it contains the name of the complex. Also, in the video walk through, there was a clear shot of the building number.

7. The cell phone records support a lot of what Martin's friend Rachel testified to. Yes she is not the most polished, educated witness but she is a kid. I work with young people not that much older then her and recognize that a lot of what people complain about her are related to generational and cultural issues. On the important points, she was consistent in her testimony.

His friends keep trying to tell the public that this is someone everybody would want watching over their neighborhood. I DO NOT THINK SO. In the Hannity interview he is clear that he would not do anything different and what happened was God's will. Most human beings, if forced to kill someone in self defense (even if fully justified) would still have some reaction to that act. There is no reaction what so ever except satisfaction. It is like there is no one home upstairs. If he had not killed Martin that night I have absolutely no doubt what so ever, that he would have killed someone else at some point in time. He was an accident waiting to happen.

For Zimmerman to be acquitted, the jury must first believe his story. An honest jury will not find him believable. An Zimmerman does not have to get on the stand because he has told his story over and over in the numerous interviews that his narcissistic behavior insisted upon.

Edit to add - A rational person, if found in the position of Zimmerman that night, would have known to shut their mouth and get an attorney before talking to the police. This is a guy that you could not shut up. He wanted to be perceived as a hero.
