8 facts that support Zimmerman's claim of lawful self defense:
Fact 1:
Zimmerman had a broken nose supporting his claim that Trayvon punched him in the face.
Fact 2:
Zimmerman had wet grass stains on the back of his jacket supporting his claim that Trayvon knocked him on his back.
Fact 3:
Zimmerman had open cuts on the back of his head supporting his claim that Trayvon smashed the back of his head repeatedly on the ground.
Fact 4:
A black resident of the community testified that the man lying on the
ground being hit [and screaming for help] was wearing a red jacket. Zimmerman was
the person wearing the red jacket.
Fact 5:
When the lead detective played the recorded screams back to Trayvon's
father, the father emphatically stated that the person screaming was not
his son. (Note: Later the father denied telling the detective that. But why would the detective have lied?)
Fact 6:
Zimmerman was interrogated for five hours without legal
representation. The next day the investigators went back to the housing
complex with Zimmerman and Zimmerman reenacted in detail the events of
the previous evening. Neither during 5 hour police interrogation, or the
next day reenactment of the event, did Zimmerman contradict his
original testimony.
Fact 7:
[Prior to the shooting]
Zimmerman called the police and gave them the address where they should
meet him. Needless to say, if Zimmerman was planning to shoot Trayvon
it would have been absurd for him to call the police prior to the shooting.
Fact 8:
Though Zimmerman at one time weighed 250 pounds, at the time of the shooting
he weighed only 170 pounds. His height was five foot eight inches. According
to police reports,Trayvon was 160 pounds and 6 foot in height. (His parents say he was 6 foot 3 inches in height.)
Conclusion:
Zimmerman found himself confronted by a 6 foot male (perhaps 6'3") weighing 160 pounds. Trayvon was not the small child that the media deceitfully attempts to portray him.
Given the latter 8 facts, they was no probable cause to arrest Zimmerman.
However, there was probable cause to arrest Trayvon for first degree
assault, if he had survived the shooting.
Issue 1:
If it is shown that Trayvon had massive gun powder residue deposited on his body, that will prove that Zimmerman fired his weapon at less than one foot distance from Trayvon.
Issue 2:
If it is shown that the bullet's trajectory was vertical, rather than horizontal, that would demonstrate that Zimmerman was on the ground when he shot Trayvon.
The latter two issues can be readily determined (if they haven't been determined already).
A non-arguable reality:
Zimmerman had a broken nose and cuts on the back of his head. These injuries were obviously incurred prior to shooting Trayvon. Therefore, we know Trayvon physically assaulted Zimmerman.
Given Zimmerman's wounds, and the wet grass stains on the back of his jacket, Trayvon's physical assault on Zimmerman is not up for dispute.
The central question is:
Did Trayvon assault Zimmerman in self defense?
Answer:
If Trayvon [doubled back] and punched Zimmerman in the nose, got on top of him, and slammed his head repeatedly into the ground, Trayvon was guilty of criminal assault.
Proof that Trayvon did in fact double back and physically assault Zimmerman:
Zimmerman told the police dispatcher that Trayvon had sprinted away from him. Shortly thereafter, Zimmerman walked a [short distance] from his car to get the exact street address to give to the police dispatcher.
If Trayvon had not doubled back, the fight would have occurred at a location far removed from where it occurred.
All the documented facts support Zimmerman's claim that Trayvon unlawfully assaulted him with the intent of causing death or serious bodily injury.
Under such circumstances, the application of deadly force is legally justified.
