Trayvon's killer said to make self-incriminating statements

101. I think that the case is open and shut

First, there's no argument that George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin. He did, end of story on that. What this case is about was whether or not it was self-defense.

The Defense team can come up with all the character assassination they want, but an unbiased jury is going to listen to the facts of the case. And the major relevant fact is this; George Zimmerman pursued Trayvon Martin in his car. After the police directed him to not do that, he got out of the car and confronted Martin. Even Zimmerman himself fesses up to that much. Thus it was Zimmerman who initiated the confrontation, going against police orders to do so.

There's frankly no way to make that win in a self-defense case. Even if Zimmerman wound up getting his ass kicked, it still ends up being Martin acting in self-defense against the armed man stalking and harassing him.

The defense team is trying to turn Zimmerman's committing the crime of assault, into an act of self-defense on his part. It's jut not going to work.
