Just because someone is following you doesnt give you the right to attack them.

Seriously.

Call the cops.

But without evidence to the contrary it is a moot point. We don't arrest people and put them on trial if there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.



This happens all the time.

There is a law against arresting people who claim self defense in Florida.

The DA showed up at the Sanford police station in the middle of the night to end the investigation. His actions are pretty suspect.

fyi here's the link to the cleaned up video.

It does appear he had scalp injuries.

No that doesn't prove he didn't commit a crime.

I don't think there is. Find it in the statutes?

Quote:

776.032 Immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for justifiable use of force.—

(1) A person who uses force as permitted in s. 776.012, s. 776.013, or s. 776.031 is justified in using such force and is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action for the use of such force, unless the person against whom force was used is a law enforcement officer, as defined in s. 943.10(14), who was acting in the performance of his or her official duties and the officer identified himself or herself in accordance with any applicable law or the person using force knew or reasonably should have known that the person was a law enforcement officer. As used in this subsection, the term “criminal prosecution” includes arresting, detaining in custody, and charging or prosecuting the defendant.

(2) A law enforcement agency may use standard procedures for investigating the use of force as described in subsection (1), but the agency may not arrest the person for using force unless it determines that there is probable cause that the force that was used was unlawful.

(3) The court shall award reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, compensation for loss of income, and all expenses incurred by the defendant in defense of any civil action brought by a plaintiff if the court finds that the defendant is immune from prosecution as provided in subsection (1).

I agree, it doesn't prove he didn't intentionally kill Trayvon but when viewed with the other evidence certainly helps to explain why the Police haven't been able to charge him with anything. Make no mistake, the Sanford PD is under massive pressure to arrest Zimmerman and if they could, they would do it yesterday.

What makes that suspect? I'm not saying it is or isn't but I just don't know if there can be anything conclusive draw from that action. So, what to you makes it suspect?

Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence.

Yep, and the chief of police that knew Zimmerman and his dad personally had to step down,and it just so happens Zimmerman's dad is a high ranking retired judge (supreme court Magistrate in Virgina,and a Magistrate judge in Orange County Fl.).
