Unfortunately, everyone seems to have forgotten that neither of these guys knew anything about the other that night. The police didn't even know who Martin was until the next day, much less what he had or hadn't done in the past.

Zimmerman was heard on the 911 tape saying that Martin ran. (I would have, too, if someone I didn't know suddenly started following me.) How did he know that Zimmerman was on the phone to 911 and not someone else with perhaps two of them intending to do him harm? Remember, the only side to this story is Zimmerman's and he can't even seem to keep it straight. That came out in his first bond hearing when he told Martin's parents in his apology that he didn't know he was a teen, but thought that he was around his own age. He had told the 911 operator that he thought the guy was probably in his late teens. Add in the outright lies about the money and a different picture emerges. All this together could and should cast a really big shadow on his Stand Your Ground defense.

My dad was right when he said that a board has two sides.

Sadly in this case, we only get to see(hear) one side. So far for now, the rest is just public conjecture.
