    Threatened because there's a man driving at night, he stops, makes a call and is staring at you. And then when you start running, he gets out of his car and starts running after you.

    "A person walking behind them." is not at all what happened.

    ...that never happened and no one ever claimed it did. It's on the 911 call, you hear Martin escape and Zimmerman agree not to pursue him

    After running after him. So yes, he did. He may have stopped partway, but he ran after him.


    Just going to add something, and then I'm probably out.

    The worst part of this is that Trayvon Martin is dead, and, whether legally wrong or not, it is ultimately Zimmerman's fault.

    Also, the prosecution really should have done a better job, but unfortuantely, what could have been their best evidence is dead.

    The scary thing about this verdict, whether it's the correct one or not, is that anyone can start trouble with someone else, be losing a fight terribly, and get away with killing them as long as there isn't enough evidence to show what really happened.

    Actually, it's his own fault

    Only* evidence. Even if he HAD survived, it would have been his word vs. the word of Zimmerman AND proof to corroborate his claims. It's not ABSOLUTE proof, but it's plenty.

    No, the great thing about this case is that sticking to the truth and use of proper evidence triumphs over baseless accusation.

    It's in the very call you cite. The reason he's asked if he's pursuing is because he's audibly giving chase.

    Had Zimmerman stayed in his car, this would have never happened. But he wanted to be a hero, because "they always get away". It was a stupid decision that ultimately led to Martin's death.

    There is no truth here other than the one we are told is supposed to be the truth. Anyone who would believe this to be "the truth" so easily is a fool. It very well may be, but nobody truly knows except Zimmerman and a dead kid.

    No, he's audibly following, but not running.

    Aww, too bad he didn't stay in his car, he should have known he would be attacked.

    Innocent until proven guilty. I'm not saying it's the absolute truth, but it's by far the most likely and logical scenario and there's no reason to believe otherwise. If something in Zimmerman's testimony didn't match up or make sense, then yes, there would be reasonable suspicion, but otherwise, it's a typical self-defense case.
