Since a witness said Zimmerman was chasing Martin, how does that change the laws interpretation [View all]
of what happened?
Martin's girlfriend said he was being chased then finally stopped and this was also reported:
Snip> 1 witness observed 2 men in a chase, with the person in pursuit 10-12' behind, then a fistfight. Couldn't identify (contact lenses out). The chase took place in the direction where "T" in walkway leads toward Retreat View Circle or Twin Trees Lane.
