Yeah, you are wrong. Guess what--even prostitutes can be raped and drug dealers victims of crimes. It has zero bearing on self defense.
You are wrong. Zimmerman has to present an affirmative defense. He killed Martin. The state doesn't have to prove that. There's absolutely no doubt about it. Zimmerman has to prove it was in self-defense. In order to do that, he must convince the jury that he was afraid for his life. Martin's character most assuredly matters.
