Unwell but still smiling
Chasing is an embellishment of "following", which we knew.
"fight back" is predicated on the assumption (not found in evidence) that Zimmerman started the fight.
How about some more facts found in the courtroom.
The area was surrounded by neighbourhood watch signposts with the words "we report all suspicious persons and activity to the police... [phone number]".
This is the number called by Zimmerman where he stated "I think he's on drugs or something".
Trayvon's toxicology report found he was under the influence of THC, and his only other injury was to his hand.
Zimmerman suffered a broken nose and cuts to the back of his head.
The bullet injury is consistent with Zimmerman firing upwards from his back, because the gun was in contact with something (hoodie?) but still 2-12 inches away from the victim's body.
I have absolutely no stake either way, but the media circus seems to ignore all these facts and this thread could use some balance.
Zimmerman had no official position but he was out patrolling the area with a gun, that's why he was there. Trayvon was walking from a shop back to the house he was spending the evening at, that's why he was there.
Would I be correct in saying that the level of THC was very low and would not have changed his behaviour, which was at the time walking back from the shops.
I take it you have read the transcript, why do you think Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman?
