Hearsay and speculation. Again.

It can also be argued that Zimmerman didn't know that Martin was black.

See? Zimmerman wasn't sure of Treyvon's skin color. "He looks black".
I can assume he wasn't certain. Then, later on when he has a better view he confirms that Treyvon is indeed black.
See how wonderful making assumptions is? You can make almost anything fit your desired outcome.
Again, Zimmerman's innocence or guilt will be determined by facts. The problem I see is that the prosecution is in my opinion overreaching with murder two. The evidence against Zimmerman, or should we say what we have been told, is circumstantial at best.
