Not defending Zimmerman here, I don't think we have nearly enough info, but from posts above we're still stuck on:

- Zimmerman was stalking him, based on the one 911 where he says he was following. We're completely blowing off the claim that he stopped and was headed to his truck to leave despite no evidence either way yet?
- Zimmerman had a weight advantage so could not possibly feel threatened by Trayvon, despite ample evidence that a good fighter can easily overcome a weight advantage?

I mostly come down on molson's side in this: so many of the contradicting theories are plausible right now, I think we need to let this run it's course before concluding anything. Keep a bit of pressure on to make sure it runs it's course, but you can't conclude anything with finality right now, except that Trayvon is dead.

I also come down on Ben's side in this: with all the media attention jumping on this and all the slants, no matter which way this ends up it's going to be a bad scene, because no one is going to let the evidence either way deter them from thinking what they do about this case, they've already made up their minds. At this point you could find a baseball bat with Trayvon's fingerprints on the handle and Zimmerman's blood on the other end and it won't convince the Sharptons and Jacksons of this world that he was an aggressor in this, or you could find that Trayvon was on his knees and shot in the back of the head and not convince the racists that Zimmerman shot a kid for no good reason.
