Once the fight started a person has every right to take lethal action against someone who is trying to do great bodily harm to them or if they feel their life is in danger. Race is not a factor in this case much to the disappointment of some. Even TM parents stated through their attorney they don't want this trial to be about race. GZ most likely would have acted in the same way if the person was green.

He had that right IF that was the case. And wemay never know the truth.
There are so many differences in statements of the witnesses as to what happened, who was on top in the fight, and so on. It's an easy out for Zimmerman to say his life was in danger, but it will be up to the court to sort thru the evidence to determine if his claim is even credible. On the surface u have to wonder why he would feel threatened by a teenaged kid when Zimmerman chased the kid down with a loaded gun.
