Ex-Sanford police chief: Zimmerman probe 'taken away from us'

[John2]

33. OK, I see

where you are coming from. I agree with you about the prosecution. They are being very passive, as if they are trying to throw this case. They are letting the defense get away with a lot of non facts in this case. and giving a clear rebuttal. So they are letting the defense muddy up the evidence.

Let me put it this way, Read the "Deadly Weapon Doctrine Effect," which is taught in every law course. Martin did not have to see Zimmerman's gun when Zimmerman took after him. Even though Zimmerman has a right to carry, a concealed weapon, doesn't give him the right to unlawfully kill some one.

What you have to measure is his intent. This is very easy for the prosecution to prove Zimmerman's intent that night. When Zimmerman stepped out of his vehicle, the chamber was loaded, with the safety off. I'm also a military veteran. I know about fire arms safety. I don't know any instructions that teaches you to carry a loaded gun in a holster with the safety off. What Zimmerman was implying is unreasonable. So you have to infer, that he is lying.

If he is indeed lying, it means Zimmerman pursued Martin with intent to use a loaded gun on him as soon as he left his vehicle. There is no way to get around that. Think about what he is claiming now. He had a loaded gun in his holster at home with the safety off. You think he always keeps it in his presence or out of his presence like that? He took a loaded gun to the grocery store? You know how dangerous that is? What if that gun went off accidentally? It is just part of his bullshit. More then likely, he had that gun out and loaded it when he went looking for Martin.
