Quote from 377OHMS:
Zimmerman was ambushed, assaulted and his head was being smashed into the ground which is attempted murder. He pulled his pistol and used deadly force to defend himself in accordance with local law. What preceeded or followed is irrelevant.
Martin layed-in-wait, ambushed a man, assaulted that man, aggravated that assault by pinning the man to the ground and then attempted to murder that man by repeatedly smashing the man's head first into the concrete sidewalk and then into the turf after the victim struggled defensively to move his head onto the lawn.
Sensing that he may be killing Zimmerman Martin relented momentarily allowing Zimmerman to brandish his pistol which he employed at close range believing m he might lose his life if the assault continued.
Clear self-defense.
Circumstances before the assault don't matter because Martin assumed criminal responsibilty when he ambushed from cover.
The State of Florida is liable for defamation, malicious prosecution, unjustified imprisonment and incitement of violence and failure to disclose evidence during court mandated discovery. The media networks are liable for defamation, slander, false reportage leading to incitement of violence and jury pool contamination.
Zimmerman will end up rich, free and highly regarded.

Absolutely correct as usual, OHMS.
