Powergamz1 -> RE: Zimmerman III - Should the jury have a manslaughter option (7/9/2013 2:05:50 PM)
|
So with much of the hysterical speculation debunked on the record, the legalities still boil down to what a person in Zimmerman's position would have been logically feeling at the moment Martin allegedly grabbed for the gun.
The witnesses that were supposed to destroy Zimmerman's credibility merely went on record as contradicting documented reality (such as the number of bullets, the location of the fight, their own earlier claims, who did and didn't use the N word, and so forth).
The witnesses whose testimony supports the defense also happen to be in synch with the forensics, official timeline, medical reports, recordings, laws of physics etc.
At this juncture it seems equally likely that Zimmerman is essentially telling the truth, or that Zimmerman is telling the truth up until the point he panicked, pulled the trigger, and made up the story about Martin going for the gun.
I suspect that the only person who knows that for sure is Zimmerman. If the prosecution had proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Martin didn't do what Zimmerman claims, the time to enter it into evidence has passed.
