The media did that? No, I think Zimmerman did it when he singled out this black kid walking down the street with a hood on, and began to make assumptions. I mean who breaks into a house at 7pm while everyone is wide awake. Zimmerman's mind was clearly not in the right place, and he's a addy head; yea, okay self defenseThe Media, Music Industry, and Athletes have done a great job of whipping this case into a racial war. As far as it goes, Zimmerman is guilty already.
If anyone with common sense and complete objectivity would actually sit down and review the case, understand the details, and incorporate Florida law - they would see that Zimmerman has absolutely so chance of being convicted for second-degree murder. No way. It shouldn't even be a murder-case (involuntary manslaughter at best) , it's such a weak case. The media and public outcry pressured the state to charge him with second-degree murder.
The case could even easily get dismissed before the trial if a judge finds justifiable proof that it was self-defense (since Florida has very lenient self-defense laws).
This case is so weak from the prosecution's end of it and they know it. Don't make this about race, because race is the only reason why Zimmerman got convicted in the first place.
Bottom line the evidence is Zimmerman followed this guy in his car. Then got out of his car, and followed him on foot back behind some homes. I don't see how you can possibly see that as self defense. It's closer to stalking then lay and wait not self defense. Going towards someone is not standing your ground. He got out of his car and put himself in harms way when there was no immediate threat; even when he was told not to by a dispatcher. Guilty as charged.
