(22,144 posts)Witness statements disagree, the photographic evidence seems to say different things.
One of my concerns on DU about this are those saying the the following and verbal confrontation were enough to justify a physical attack on Zimmerman by Martin. They are in abundance and their outrage is outrunning any sense of perspective. I have not seen an actual Zimmerman apologist here, just those who are waiting to get more details and/or willing to point out that there are some large legal hurdles and with the data released seem to be growing.
Zimmerman clearly owns the moral responsibility for the killing. We shall have to see about the legal results. I'd like to see a manslaughter verdict, but I foresee a hung jury at this point. I was more confident in a conviction before this data was released.
The M$M will try to keep the pot stirred to get more eyeballs etc. Both sides will arrange for favorable data to find its way to the public. Clearly there is much more to come.
