I don't think Zimmerman should be convicted of 2nd degree murder from what I've seen. There just isn't evidence beyond all reasonable doubt that he set out with evil intentions and then proceeded to shoot him unnecessarily. While I'm inclined not to believe his sketchy story, It's far from beyond all reasonable doubt that
1) Travon started the violence
2) He felt that he had to use deadly force to protect himself from death/severe injury
The state has a very high burden of prof to meet before they take someone's life away. So I say not guilty, just as I did with Casey Anthony.
That being said... He's probably completely full of shit. He assumed Travon was there to burglarize houses, because he was black and there were some black guys that were doing in the recent past. So he decided to go play tough guy, knowing full damn well he'd just shoot anyone that assaulted him. The problem is, he basically provoked that kind of behavior. Following some guy you don't know for blocks, not identifying yourself, then getting their face (after chasing him down...everyone heard him running on that tape).
I don't want this motherfucker to own a gun. I don't feel sorry for him about all the anger thrown his way. And I really people keep this case in mind when they decide to go play cop.
