Calling him a "monster" is just ridiculous. Trying to paint him as a cold blooded killer is ridiculous. In my opinion, he was a man with good intentions (watching out for his neighborhood) that led to a situation he did not expect (fighting with and killing someone). The evidence that is now released certainly shows this - he didn't just stand there and shoot Trayvon. This wasn't cold-blooded murder. The prosecutor gave in to public pressure when she charged him with more than manslaughter. The charges against him are wrong and over-reach big time. That's why he won't be found guilty. That's exactly the problem here, especially given the nature of Florida's laws. If the jury finds any ounce of evidence that Zimmerman was defending himself then he will be acquitted according to the laws of the State of Florida. Not according to any moral base or anything...the laws of the State of Florida. Based on what was posted above, I don't see a murder conviction on this at all. Hell, I'm not sure they could have even gotten manslaughter. People have to realize that what Zimmerman did (getting out of the car and following) might have been stupid and ill-advised, but it was not an illegal activity. Zimmerman clearly got the shit beaten out of him. Also, at the beginning, they kept showing pictures of Trayvon in his nice school photo and whatnot and then pictures of Zimmerman at the police station after he had the shit beaten out of him. Nice media direction there. Make the kid look like a choir boy and Zimmerman look like a thug. This kids was not the poster child for good behavior. The prosecutor caved to media attention and all that is going to happen is a very large and very expensive trial for a man who will be found innocent and even more money will be spent when protestors riot after the fact. Nice job Florida.
