[QUOTE="n2sooners, post: 2240158, member: 26539"] That's what I've argued all along. If there were evidence that Zimmerman initiated the contact then it would sway my opinion that he was guilty of assault and probably manslaughter. If there was evidence that the fight wasn't one sided then there could be doubt about Zimmerman fearing great bodily harm or death. But that evidence doesn't exist. And the hind sight thing is BS. If Zimmerman had stayed in the car nothing may have happened. Or maybe Martin would have run into someone else and assaulted them. Maybe if Martin had gone home during that four minutes after Zimmerman lost track of him. Maybe Zimmerman could have just rolled down the window and asked Martin if he lived around there, or maybe Martin could have just asked Zimmerman what he wanted. But I don't buy Martin being that scared. Both weighed about the same and Martin had 3-6 inches on Zimmerman (you would think it would be easier to find definitive heights and weights but not so). Police estimated Martin at 6 feet tall and 160 pounds. The family said he was 6'2. Police had Zimmerman at 5'9 and a friend had him at 5'8. There is no weight in the police report on Zimmerman but his friend said he weighed about 170 pounds. [/QUOTE]
