Trayvon Martin ran from George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman ran him down.

63. I think the question will be whether he acted reasonably under the circumstances,

not whether he followed an order. The statement by the 911 or police authority on the phone will help determine whether he acted reasonably. It sets a standard with regard to what the 911 operator or officer thought was reasonable. Whether that standard will be applied will be determined, but that statement may be considered by the jury -- might not, but it may be.

If 911 suggests that I do something, I would normally figure that 911 had more experience and knowledge regarding my emergency than I did and would follow what the 911 operator or officer told me.

But Zimmerman didn't really have an emergency, so even though most of us refer to his first call as a 911 call and even though I think that the news stories have defined it as such, I think that he probably did not call 911 but called a police officer.
