We should know a lot more in this case after the judge's decision next Friday and Zimmerman's testimony.

Persuit:
act of chasing after something: the act of chasing after somebody or something in order to catch, attack, or overtake that person or thing
Persuit hasn't been proven. To follow is not to chase.
Would you have a person pause and end up dead? You have a very low opinion of law abiding citizens. It is not the law abiding citizen who wantenly rape, pillage and murder it is the criminal. They don't care about the law.
What will you say if the court finds that it was a case of self-defense? I'd love to know.
