Sadly we only know Zimmerman's side of the story because the other person is dead.. why?
I think you need to do some research on legal definition on stalking and harrassing because your definition makes no legal sense. Stalking is not conditioned on there being a restraining order. Stalking is not something you can do legally until a restraining order and stalking can happen one time and still be illegal. DOnt you think it is silly to say you need an RO before stalking is illegal?
Was he harrassing you?
Yes
Was it the first time?
Yes
Ok then no crime has been committed
If you are following me I can call the police on you and does not mean you will be thrown in jail or fined but they will tell you to cut it out or you will be thrown in jail.
next time walk through a neighborhood with not a lot of lights and someone is following you and confronts you, please tell me your reaction because I know I will defend myself because no one follows and harrasses someone for benevolent reasons and I would rather not find out when it is too late this person was up to no good.
