(17,502 posts)If you listen to the 911 tape, and the witness that said Martin was pounding his head in the concrete, he was walking back to his car. Ask yourself this:
Why is he using using "self defense" as an affirmative defense, under the duty to retreat rules, instead of asking for an immunity hearing under SYG? Here is the thing about trial by media: they put some narrative that sells copy, ideologues will use or distort the narrative for their own purpose, and the truth that comes out in court, what the jury hears, is nothing like what the media said it was. Of course, if Martin were a working class kid from the trailer park, no one would give a shit, because his parents wouldn't be able to hire a lawyer to send press releases to the media.
According to physical evidence and a witness, Martin was pounding Zimmerman's head in the concrete. Dr. Tiller has nothing to do with it.
