However, if Martin was the one that started the fight it could go the other way.

There might be witnesses and/or physical evidence that can set this straight and clearly tell the jury who did what. However, if that doesn't exist it will strictly be up to Zimmerman and his story. He may or may not take the stand, but he and his lawyers will have explain to the jury how he went from telling the dispatcher that he was going to go meet the police to shooting Martin.

The reason, I think, they are bringing up this stuff about Martin and his tweets/texts is that Zimmerman has an actual history of violence and trouble with the police. You know the prosecution will bring that up so he likely wants to try to prove that Martin was no angel.

In the end I think Zimmerman will lose this case. The situation was completely avoidable. Baring some unforeseen event (like he him hanging up with the 911 operator then Martin bursting out form a hiding place and attacking Zimmerman) Zimmerman chose to put himself in this situation then he chose to use deadly force. That likely will be hard to explain.

Zimmerman was on the volunteer neighborhood security watch team. Trayvon was a drug dealer. It made perfect sense for Zimmerman to follow him. His mindset was to help clean up the neighborhood and he almost got himself killed for his noble efforts.

At some point you just have to ask yourself if the world is a slightly better place with Trayvon Martin dead.

It sure does look like he got his ass beat which is what he would have gotten if followed me or worse, sorry no excuse for a able bodied grown man getting his ass beat by ONE 17yr old person ever, if your an adult male and you are young enough NOT to qualify for social security, you are a disgrace to your species IF a teen age boy can whip your ass.
