and we have absolutely no evidence one way or the other. so it doesn't even matter what he did. what happened is unknowable. zimmerman's account is reasonable and there's nobody to contradict it

Even as someone who has paid the attention little attention, I can see a case made that the older, supposedly trained Zimmerman should have known how to handle the situation without killing Martin. That's all it takes for 2nd degree murder. This is not CSI. You do not an eye-witness to contradict Zimmerman. You do not need evidence to contradict Zimmerman's account, even. You need to establish that Zimmerman knew he was doing something reckless which could lead to this ultimately tragic outcome, and did not take the steps he knew could prevent that outcome. If that's not how it's being prosecuted then they bad.
Or does the law say it's okay to murder if you first incite violence in your victim? I'm not from Florida I dunno.
