According to the news the prosecutors are close to wrapping up there case against George Zimmerman, the man accused of shooting 17 year old Trayvon Martin to deal last year. When it comes to court cases I tend to distrust the media with the facts. I only trust court documents. News media can and will put a slant on everything. However, most of the reports are saying the same thing with the basic facts so I formed an opinion based on those facts. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, Zimmerman's defense attorneys had better prove that Zimmerman did not follow and engage Martin into a confrontation or he gets a guilty vote. To me the hoodie protests are meaningless. This case comes down to who approached who. So far the facts are showing that Zimmerman thought Martin was suspicious and followed him and a confrontation happened as a result of Zimmerman following Martin. I have no problem with Zimmerman finding Martin suspicious. That's his right. I could find an 89 year old white lady suspicious. However I do not have the right to engage that 89 year old and according to the reports Zimmerman had no right to pursue. If he thought Martin was suspicious all he needed to do was call the police and identify Martin and keep it moving. Instead, it appears that Zimmerman played detective and followed Martin and that caused Martin to have to stand HIS ground. But as I said, MY verdict is based on the news reports, which can be wrong. However, Zimmerman is supposed to be a volunteer neighborhood watch man, not a cop.
