there are other criminal charges beside murder

and they dont have to be 'proven', just proven beyond a reasonable doubt

that word 'reasonable' will be totally dependent upon the perception of the jurors,,,,


there is evidence of a PURSUIT by someone with a gun, thats a start
I am really happy you are wrong. If a jury convicts with an absence of physical evidence its the judges job to call a mistrial.



wow, you really never heard of a circumstantial case?
or convictions based upon circumstantial evidence?

oh well,,,
Only in the movies, and as examples of injustice. Often if a person has a good lawyer they then appeal the case and it gets thrown out. Ever wonder why that can happen?

Find me an example, the only way to find an example is when it has been appealed. Because in every other case they just treat circumstantial evidence as primary evidence.

The law has made objective definitions for words like reasonable when they are directly related to things like, fear.

Reasonable fear is not fear of a hang nail, and no amount of psychosis changes that objective legal definition.

Just like there are scientific terms, there are legal terms, and they are often extremely well defined.



not reasonable fear

reasonable DOUBT


is it unreasonable to doubt that this boy who had been being pursued by a stranger and ran behind buildings to loose him then TURNED Back around to go confront him?

I dont think thats an unreasonable doubt at all and many other jurors might not

Ask the Jews of Hitlers Germany, even many of the the German "pure" from that era what they think of the OweBummer occupancy and the laws he is implementing....



thats odd

there is no group that has a singular opinion or mindset

it just doesnt exist


Im sure some Jews will look poorly on obama, and others will not,,

well, unless we stop putting away anyone that didnt have an EYEWITNESS to the moment they committed the crime

we are gonna have to rely pretty heavily on how physical evidence available ties into CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence and reasonability,,,

but when talking about evidence 'pointing' to trayvon as aggressor, I just keep looking for what evidence there is besides that someone fighting him was injured?
Actually that is the best evidence that can exist.

I can defend myself without striking you. I cannot attack you without striking you.



really? how does one defend themself if unarmed from a person with a gun?....without striking them , I mean,,,

previously it was written that this witness was walking his dog
Nope mixing up witnesses. The "John" witness is a grown man, not a child.



nope, Im pretty clear

in THESE threads, it was posted that a man 'john' had been walking his dog, saw the dispute( at that time he only saw a portion of it) and was telling the boy to stop when his dog got loose and he ran after him and then went inside to call 911

as it turns out though, there was a LITTLE boy to whom this happened and his sisters call to 911 is one of the recordings released and transcripts available


but NOW, in THIS thread, the man 'john' was inside his house just watching the whole thing and giving a blow by blow

a recording that hasnt been released apparently, because he wants to remain anonymous? ....lol

well, we will see if it ever surfaces,,,,
So now the misunderstanding's from this thread are evidence, wow.


who said anything about evidence

I was pointing out the inconsistency in some of the reasons people are giving to believe Zimmerman,,,
Ok, than we can play a game of who has been most inconsistent with information on this story, it will be grand indeed, we should have lots to play with.



I bet we will, inconsistency is a pet peeve of mine actually and it exists in most mingle threads

but when talking about evidence 'pointing' to trayvon as aggressor, I just keep looking for what evidence there is besides that someone fighting him was injured?

and I keep getting inconsistent answers,,,,from some posters,,,

yes, illegal touch will be the hard thing to prove

until or unless circumstantial evidence of lies on Zimmermans part
and a past of 'illegal touch' in Zimmermans past

tie together circumstantially to hold him accountable
Again you fail. Past illegal touch cannot be used to PROVE current illegal touch. Only the evidence gathered in THIS case can be applied to showing in THIS case a person was committing a crime.

Civil it might be enough, Criminal not even close.


not quite

past history is often used to prove CHARACTER of a defendant, it can tie in very well in a criminal case,,,,

remember the domestic abuse calls being used against OJ?
remember past allegations of sexual misconduct being used against MJ?


yes, history of behavior goes towards character

and character can be a big part of how REASONABLE someones action seems,,,
Yea I do remember how that worked out in the OJ trial . . .


... and who supported OJ.
Dont understand your question. My point was that this idea that Character proves murder is incorrect. The physical evidence is what proves it. The OJ case failed on the same account, only in that case the evidence existed, but the way it was gathered caused it to be inadmissible. In this case (to my knowledge) no such evidence exists.

i still have yet to why this kid was shot. was he breaking into someones home/car/doghouse? it sounded to me that zimmerman thought he looked "something". so, a kid is dead because
A: zimmerman was suspicious of this kid.
B: said he " 'could' be on drugs"
C: The boy was unarmed.
D: Zimmerman says "these a$$holes always get away"
E: confronts the kid after being warned not to. (by the police)


if this same guy confronted any one of you a 12:30 at night, would you not be a little concerned?

At 12:30 at night if someone was following me I would call 911.


i never called 911 in my life... even when someone was chasing me... that is not an option for most youths of today, because of the gangster mentality. and it clearly is not a usable defence in this situation. as you know, he was talking with his girl when everything went down.

And you are not a 17 year old. Sing followed by someone.
How do you know he had a "gangster mentality"?
If he did have that mentality then it's possible Martin was the aggressor and initiated the fight. Isn't that what gangsters do?



gangsters dont usually 'run' away though,,,just saying,,,

I dont believe that is true unless it can be proven there was an ATTACK actually initiated by Treyvon. If Treyvon were shot in the act of defending HIMSELF with his fists from an attack by someone carrying a gun, there is much more than a civil case.
This does not jive with the main witness account. That is simply the single most important thing. A person is not defending themselves when they are on top attacking someone screaming for help.

Just doesn't happen. No amount of spin can make that more palatable.




excuse me? there were about 7 witnesses, what exactly constitutes which one is the 'main' witness?


The fight took place immediately behind his house. He saw the whole thing and was describing it to the police real time.



previously it was written that this witness was walking his dog and going to go inside to call 911,,,(turns out THAT witness was actually a young boy who only said he saw someone laying on the ground BEFORE the gunshot, not that he saw TWO people fighting)

now he was inside watching the whole time,,,,interesting,,,

a) Not a crime
b) The kid was suspended for drugs, so that's very possible.
c) So?
d) So?
e) Zimmerman says that didn't happen. He was on his way back to his truck after he lost sight of Trayvon. The 911 tape shows that he was concerned for his own safety at that point. He wasn't looking for a confrontation, he was following Trayvon so that the police could find him for questioning.



any DA would show him to be on a mission, to kill that kid. the jury would eat that up, because it shows a pattern of thought of him stalking the boy. and thats just basic information, not the real info the the lawyers will have.


So you are saying that Zimmerman should be put on trial, because a believable story can be told that implicates him, despite the fact that it's not supported by the evidence?

There is some evidence that I'm interested in hearing, namely, wounds on Trayvon. If Trayvon is uninjured other than one gunshot wound, then that would indicate that he was the aggressor, wouldn't it?



it is supported by Zimmermans own words that he was following the boy supported by his words that he viewed Trayvon as an AHOLE who was going to GET AWAY

that makes it a very REASONABLE possibility that he was the aggressor

couple that with his PAST incidences of DOCUMENTED aggression,,,and it makes a VERY good case for him as the aggressor


and , if he is the aggressor, whether he left bruises or not, he is in the wrong

just because an aggressor gets whooped doesnt make him any less the aggressor/initiator/ responsible party
