We know, IF we believe that part of GZ
's testimony, that Trayvon Martin didn't grab Zimmerman's weapon....GZ didn't have to wrestle Martin to shoot his gun into Martin's heart....So, IF GZ truly thought his life was in danger....he could have easily held Trayvon Martin at gunpoint until LE arrived..instead he chose to shoot TM in the heart. Goes to premeditation to me. IMO
Premeditation is not part of this case. That would be murder 1. The are going for murder two.
