That's the thing, though. If they happened exactly as Zimmerman claimed, I still think he is egregiously guilty of manslaughter. Not under Florida law, obviously, but he is absolutely the instigator in every single action up to the point of final confrontation and in a way that resulted in the death of Martin.
I don't think that Zimmerman is a giant liar, as far as I can tell. I just think that he made a series of horrible decisions, based on self-delusion and the cockiness that comes from being armed. I base this all on the parts that are not in dispute, just like Scott's contributions to this thread. It doesn't have anything to do with he-said/she-said. It has to do with an understanding of the horrible choices made by a person who should never have been in that situation and who tragically cut short the life of someone who was walking home with a fucking bag of candy while being black and wearing a hoodie.
