More Info On The Trayvon Case

I came across two articles that shed more light on the Trayvon case. Here are some of what I think should be highlighted and links to the full article.

Trayvon Martin may not have done the textbook best job at protecting himself from harm. And whether he was a “child” or not may be open to debate since government agencies and websites differ on how somebody age 17 should be categorized.  But considering the circumstances — rainy, getting dark, stranger following him with a gun — his actions were reasonable and well within his rights.  They certainly didn’t warrant his death.
To summarize Zimmerman’s own defense, Zimmerman initiated a confrontation by chasing a youth, the youth defended himself, and Zimmerman shot him dead.  Looks like grounds for an arrest.  And if you ask me, it’s grounds for a conviction, too.

With a Stranger Stalking, What Were Trayvon Martin's Options?

What is the relationship between Zimmerman and the one eyewitness who allegedly corroborated his account? An eyewitness who has only been identified in media reports as John claims that he saw Zimmerman getting pounded by Trayvon Martin. A Florida Fox News affiliate interviewed the witness, but he refused to show his face on camera. It’s unclear where John was standing during the incident and whether he saw how it began, but he says that after he noticed it, he ran upstairs in his apartment to call 911 and heard a gun shot while he was running. Who is this witness on whom it appears Wolfinger hinged his belief in Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense? Is he a friend of Zimmerman’s?
