The screams for help on 911 tape were NOT ...NOT Zimmermans

There's no defense under SYG that if a person disengages you STILL get to kill them after you start the altercation.

The screams for help went on for at least a couple of seconds

ZMan getting off on 150,000usd bond is disgusting to say the least.

The two cases are eerily similar. The difference being Dooley was charged with manslaughter within two days of the shooting, while Zimmerman was charged much later for Murder after a public push.

I think both cases are manslaughter unless you can prove that it is Martin screaming for help.
