So the witnesses who say that Trayvon was on top of him knocking the crap out of him, and he was screaming for help...and the 911 calls through which you can hear him screaming for help right up to the sound of the shot...and the cops who said his injuries and state of dishevelment were consistent with his statement...
ALL those are lies? On the strength of a grainy, obstructed, 50 seconds or so of video shot from above his head somewhere?
Really?
No doubt there was a scuffle. In most states a fight like that wouldn't allow deadly force. The Model Penal Code, which most states model after, state you can only use deadly force if you are threatened with deadly force. In this case the use of deadly force won't apply. The 'Stand Your Ground' statute law doesn't follow the MPC. However, you can NOT be the aggressor for SYG to apply. If Zimmerman approach him SYG doesn't apply. If Zimmerman backed off and was heading to his car and Martin approached him it, then it does apply. It's important.
Could easily have been Zimmerman approach Martin and a scuffle ensued. Then Martin got the better of Zimmerman. Zimmerman screamed for help, the witness saw Martin on top of him. Witness account wasn't incorrect.
However, witness testimony was the key it was whether Zimmerman confronted Martin or vice versa!
Face it more likely the over-zealous Zimmerman confronted Martin!
