Zimmerman apologists always run into same problem. Person minding their own business ended up dead.

47. Wouldn't the question in such a situation be who made the decision to engage in

if not confrontation, at least being in the same location at the same time.

And won't the profiling by Zimmerman of Trayvon Martin as looking suspicious influence a jury's thoughts about why Zimmerman followed Trayvon Martin. As I pointed out in my post above, "following" someone can be a helpful act, but it can also be a criminal act. Depends on the intentions and state of mind of the person doing the following. Evidence that indicates the states of minds of Trayvon Martin and Zimmerman will be important here.

Usually, if there is a murder, evidence regarding statements of the murderer prior to the act are relevant to determine intent.

A few years ago, Dick Cheney shot a hunting partner --in the fact, I think. Now, that could have been viewed as attempted homicide, but it wasn't because the circumstances and statements of the parties were apparently deemed to suggest that there was not intent to attempt homicide.

Here, the jury will have to decide what the intentions of the parties were based on what they said before their tragic encounter. This will be a very interesting case. No question. If it really gets beyond the stage of plea bargaining.
