[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6658462, member: 19675"] Assume Trayvon Martin survived the struggle, not Zimmerman. His trial testimony would have been a narrative of a teenage boy walking down the darkened street being followed by an adult. He would say that he feared a kidnapping, robbery, or assault. When he confronted his shadower- because he didn't think he could get away- a struggle started, and the man brandished a gun. In fear for his life, he bashed Zimmerman's head against the ground until he went limp/dropped the gun, etc. That narrative is at least partially supported by the phone call he was making at the time he noticed Zimmerman following him. [url]http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/26/justice/zimmerman-trial/[/url] Certainly, the other party to the phone call could be said to have bias in Martin's favor, but it is still a solid piece of witness testimony in support of a self-defense claim. While the evidence would not support a murder charge, it certainly was sufficient to support a claim of involuntary manslaughter [url]http://statelaws.findlaw.com/florida-law/florida-involuntary-manslaughter-laws.html[/url] Zimmerman was told by police dispatchers to break off his trailing of Trayvon Martin because it was dangerous. By that, the dispatcher means not just for Zimmerman or Martin, but also for any bystanders and/or police officers sent to the scene. He didn't care; he didn't follow orders. Instead of stopping and waiting for the police [I]he knew had been dispatched[/I], he chased a running Martin.
