That is what George Zimmerman say. But WHY lead detective Chris Serino think this?
(CBS) SANFORD, Fla. - "The lead investigator probing the deadly shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin wanted neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman arrested and charged with manslaughter the night of the shooting, ABC News reports.
Investigator Chris Serino of the Sanford, Fla. Police Department wanted the 28-year-old Zimmerman behind bars, but the state Attorney's Office said there was not enough evidence to lead to a conviction, sources told ABC.
The New York Daily News reports Serino was uncertain of Zimmerman's account of how the Feb. 26 incident with Martin played out.
Police brought Zimmerman into the station for questioning for a few hours on the night of the shooting, said Zimmerman's attorney, even though he had requested medical attention first.
The police report noted Zimmerman was "bleeding from the nose and the back of the head."
CBS News reports that the next day, detectives re-enacted the shooting with Zimmerman at the scene. They also discovered Zimmerman had two prior arrests: one for assaulting a cop, the other for domestic abuse.
For the next two weeks, lead investigator Serino pursued a manslaughter charge against Zimmerman."

It's sad that what we've come to as a country and a society allows us to be divided over the issue of Zimmerman. A kid is dead. There should be an arrest and a trial. If it is proven that Zimmerman acted in self-defense and was justified in his actions, so be it. But to "take his word for it" and let him go without facing a trial is just as ridiculous as taking him to the public square and stoning him without a trial.

Yes! That is what Trayvon's parents want.

Getting your day in court is an American cornerstone. I wonder why some say otherwise?
Zimmerman took a life. Was he justified? I don't know and have carefully stayed away from those threads.
He should have submitted himself to his day in court. If I take a life, and I KNOW I am right, I will let the system do it's job. I took that life because I had to. It was him or me. Florida law allows for that. Take me in.
I will have to put my faith in the idea that we are a nation of laws and not of men.
Zimmerman either has doubts about that, or he has doubts about whether the life he took was justified. That is my concern.
