FL Attorney: Zimmerman legal team expected to request immunity hearing, could result in "game over"

[ckoeber]

73. Fair enough...

However, you have a few problems with saying the injuries weren't serious:

(1). What is most relevant is the reasonable state of mind of George Zimmerman. Here is someone who is beating up on you while you are on the ground for whatever reason. How is Zimmerman going to ascertain, at that moment, whether the injuries he is receiving are serious or not? Should Zimmerman have waited until the injuries were serious in order to try and retaliate?

(2.) Saying scalp wounds bleed a lot is irrelevant to discerning how they go there. You don't get scalp wounds simply from a small bump when someone is punching you on the ground. You also don't get sharp wounds like that from simply punches, even if they weren't serious.

(3.) You can see in the video that multiple officers walked over to observe the wounds on his head. Subsequent police photos that there were quiet a few injuries suffered all around his face and head. Now, again, hindsight is twenty/twenty, so simply saying that upon review the injuries weren't serious is not the same as saying that at the time he was well aware of his injuries not being serious and therefore didn't need to fire his weapon.
