Yes, and your post got me thinking. They are going to have to clarify this law because otherwise, we really do have a situation where someone can claim fear and if there are no witnesses, kill girlfriends or boyfriends, husbands or wives, people they dislike, co-workers they hate, etc.
Surely Florida does not want that so I venture to guess this law will be interpreted in a manner less favorable to Zimmerman.
If she had said Trayvon was aggressive, would you believe that? Are her statements only not credible because they do not conform with what you believe?
There is no reason for this kid to lie. She was apparently so traumatized by learning of the death of her boyfriend after witnessing his last moments on earth, that she had to be hospitalized. Doesn't sound like a conniving liar to me. There is zero evidence that she is a liar or otherwise not credible.
Apparently some question her veracity.
I wanted to add to the discussion as to who the aggressor would likely be. I have mentioned this repeatedly, but Zimmerman was the one who said, "These a$$holes always get away." And called "these a$$holes" "f&*king punks."
He's also the one who, after making those statements, followed the "a$$hole", even though the dispatcher indicated he did not need to do that.
He's also the one with an arrest and charges for a violent crime in his past.
He's also the one whose ex girlfriend alleged he was violent towards her.
He also the one who people complained about to LE and the HOA due to his "aggressiveness".
Finally, he's the one who repeatedly called police, over various, silly things and who wanted to be a cop, but for some reason, could not.
On the other hand, no one who has encountered Trayvon has stepped forward to say he was an aggressive person. In fact, the opposite is true. And his family seem like quiet, humble people to me.
Further, his girlfriend said he was scared and trying to get away, not confronting or angry.
Thus, taking everything as a whole, it is simply not logical to find the words of a man who wants to avoid prison, credible. Zimmerman is the logical aggressor, not Trayvon.
