Is physical assault justified if you're being followed?
excuse me sir.. how do you know martin started the fight.?.. because zimmerman said so... dam i would say someone hit me first to if i was on trail for murder and no one saw what happened .. i would also say that the person told me they are going to kill me too...QUOTE]
Good point, however Z's case was supported by the fact that T's body did not show physical signs of a fight (ex gunshot wound); yet Z had multiple bruises and a broken nose. Therefore the reasonable doubt standard compelled the jury to adjudicate the case in his favor. It was a fairly technical adjudication.
