Yes, I truly believe Zimmerman set the whole thing up. Zimmerman could have politely asked if Martin was lost or something but instead chose to follow the kid. Don't know about you but that would certainly get my adrenalin flowing. The difference is I'm an older white female who carries rather than a young black male who thinks he has something to prove. Zimmerman wanted a confrontation. He wanted to be a hero and stop his neighbors from being robbed. He behaved in a manner that had the exact outcome he thought he wanted.
Would I have convicted Martin had I been on the jury believing what I do? No. The evidence didn't show what was on Zimmerman's mind. Martin could have behaved differently. That doesn't mean Zimmerman didn't commit murder, it just means the evidence wasn't sufficient. Kind of like saying OJ didn't commit murder because he was acquitted.
As to the possible Federal charges, it had to be considered. I didn't think it would come to anything and, quite honestly, don't think Zimmerman was guilty of a federal crime but for justice to be served, it had to be considered.
