Obviously, I would have told him the latter. In my posts, I do not defend Zimmerman's actions, which, especially with the benefit of hindsight, were not very smart-- but not illegal. On the other hand, as more and more evidence appears, it looks more and more as though the shooting was justified.
But until all the evidence is public, I draw no conclusions as to Zimmerman's guilt or innocence. My gripe is with the slanted media reporting and with the racial demagogues like Sharpton and Jackson and some posters to this forum who are convicting Zimmerman despite the fact that the publicly available information does not indicate that he committed a crime. For an objective analysis, read the Dershowitz (sp?) article linked to in an earlier post.
