I'm leaning towards believing both Martin and Zimmerman acted in self defense. Zimmerman never explained to Martin who he was or what he was doing and probably thought he was in danger. Once Martin was on top of Zimmerman, Zimmerman was also acting in self defense.

He should get manslaughter charges plus 6 months to a year for each count where it is shown he made false statements to police and I believe he may have made a few. I get the feeling that Zimmerman was overzealous and not as innocent as he has tried to make himself out to be. I would not doubt that he pulled his gun on Martin to prevent him from getting away and Martin then attacked him believing he was in danger. But no one knows but them.

They should change the laws to make neighborhood watch patrols wear clearly identifiable uniforms and require some type of training and duties. This whole mess could have been avoided.
