(40 posts)Re-read what you just wrote.
You have no evidence to back up this assertion: "He defied orders, chose to hunt down an innocent teenager walking home from the store as Martin "looked suspicious" to Zimmerman...."
And here's the thing you also haven't factored in: What the emergency services dispatcher asked him to do aren't "orders" that he needed to follow.
So (1) you don't know whether he in fact did stop and another scenario has taken place and (2) saying "we don't need you to do that" is in fact not an "order" but rather a suggestion from the dispatcher.
So what you are left with is a situation where George Zimmerman could have in fact stopped chasing Trayvon Martin and instead went to do something else (find a location to wait for police, head back to his vehicle, stood stationary, etc.) and then Trayvon Martin could have initiated the altercation (maybe he was afraid and felt he needed to end the situation).
When you have alternate scenarios such as the one I raised based on evidence you have what's called reasonable doubt.
Now you actually expect a Jury to convict based on these circumstances?
