Neighborhood Watch guy chases down a kid, shoots him, charged with 2nd-degree murder

I think you are both missing the big issue here.

Zimmerman still had a Myspace.

He's guilty now for sure.

Nothing surprises me anymore

The prosecution's case is falling apart:

MIAMI – Court records show George Zimmerman had a pair of black eyes, a nose fracture and two cuts to the back of his head after the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

And then there is this:

WFTV has learned that the medical examiner found two injuries on Martin’s body: The fatal gunshot wound and broken skin on his knuckles.

When you compare Trayvon’s non-fatal injury with Zimmerman's bloody head wounds, the autopsy evidence is better for the defense, Sheaffer said.

“It goes along with Zimmerman's story that he acted in self-defense, because he was getting beaten up by Trayvon Martin,” Sheaffer said.

The injury to Martin’s knuckle also fits with Zimmerman's story that before he shot and killed Martin, Martin had broken his nose and knocked him to the ground, slamming his head on the sidewalk.

which is more reason why they shouldn't have charged him with 2nd degree...this is going to be very hard to convict...

After getting through the Media's fake facts, and "woopsies" for the sake of ratings and sensationalizing, I don't think this is much of a case...unless TRayvon beat up the poor man after he was shot...

I heard Dan Abrams say its really going to come down to who started the confrontation.
I still contend if Zimmy doesn't follow after him Trayvon is still alive, but as others have correctly pointed out, we'll probably never know. I fear this is still going to result in an explosive outcome no matter which way it goes.

@AP BREAKING: Autopsy: Evidence of marijuana found in Trayvon Martin's urine and blood.

That is not going to help the prosecution either.

"I asked Mr. Martin if the voice calling for help was that of his son," the officer wrote. "Mr. Martin, clearly emotionally impacted by the recording, quietly responded 'no.'"

Interesting how quiet this thread has gotten...
