To me the screaming makes no difference and the case seems to have two parts to it.
1). Martin was innocent while going to the store and getting some things.
2) Martin was upset about being asked ''if he was from around here' and a confrontation ensued.
This led to forensics:
A. Zimmerman grass stains and wetness on his back/shirt.
B. Zimmerman with injuries on the back of his head.
C. Zimmerman with a broken and bloody nose.
D. No injuries to TM except a small one on Martins right hand.
Per Florida Law, following does not mean aggression---certainly people have said if GZ doesn't get out of his car this doesn't happen--but that is not the law or the actual confrontation.
Certainly Martin was not doing anything wrong until he was asked a question--but you cannot use physical violence because you are mad about a question.
Prejudicial evidence left out was that Martin had bragged about getting the upper hand in fight previously by breaking someone nose--so he was not new to violence, he talked about getting a gun, he flashed gang signs in pictures, was suspended three times, smoked dope, and stole some jewelry.
However I think the one thing that has slanted this story is that when it came out--pics of Martin were showing a young kid in a pop warner uniform when in actuality Martin was a 6'1" high school football player and in excellent shape who quickly got the upper hand in this fight.
Now--I don't believe the nonsense that Trayvon was a bad kid or a
--he wasn't, he was probably a good kid and experimenting with marijuana and doing some dumb things in school---however, you have to know when to walk away from a fight. That's the crux of this case.
Finally--I want to thank the mods for opening this forum and hope we can all get along and reason together and look at the evidence together.
