There is no case for prosecuting Zimmerman. Beyond a reasonable doubt, it was self-defense.


Zimmerman did more than watch Martin from a distance. He followed Martin and it sounded like he chased him. Who started the fight is also unestablished. Zimmerman says Martin did. Martin's friend indicates it was Zimmerman who started it. According to her Martin's last words were him yelling "Get off, get off". This was after he told her a weird creepy guy was following him. Considering what she's saying I'm not sure how you can say the prosecution has no case.

Fair play!
