I don't think Zimmerman really intended to kill Trayvon.

90. Good Post. I agree with everything except the part . . .

about Trayvon besting him in the fight.

I think he chased Martin and confronted him with the gun already out. That's what the screaming on the tape was about. Martin was screaming because the aggressive, angry part of zimmerman's Jeckel-and-Hyde character came out that night.

I believe zimmerman pulled the trigger figuring he knew the stand-your-ground law well enough that he could claim he was the victim of Martin (he made up a story about Martin head bashing him 20-30 times on concrete and punching him 35-45 times in the face After all, there was no one around to eyewitness the shooting. He could say anything). Well anyone with any sense (obviously not that jury) would figure anyone head bashed on concrete 20-30 times would be at least severely concussed, if not out cold or dead.

Most likely he self-inflicted his wounds. Remember, the medical examiner testified in court that he only need band-aids for treatment. Head bashed 20-30 time my ass.

After that, as you wrote, he lied like crazy to the investigators — and is still lying like crazy to this day. That's who he is and how he operates. And so far he's always gotten away with it.

This time though he's going to jail. Too many post-trial violent, documented, gun-fueled incidents now that can't be "not admitted" by a complicit judge.
