From his statements, Zimmerman displayed ill will toward Martin when he referred to "expletive punks". According to the detective in the case, it appeared he continued to follow Martin after being told to stop, and was overly eager to catch a "bad guy". He was a police wannabe. He was versed in the Stand your Ground law, and knew what to say to police to justify his actions. IMHO, being in a scuffle with someone, where you sustain injuries that don't require medical followup and require only a bandaid, does not give you the right to shoot someone with a gun. They found no evidence that Martin tried to take the gun away from Zimmerman. Bottom line - we haven't seen all the testimony yet - I dont' see this as an open and shut case one way or the other.
Did you notice in the Hannity replay, he said he had never heard of SYG? He said that he hadn't and then Hannity asked him about self defense. Nope. Both lies. I would have to look at it again, but I think this is where he says that it was just "God's will".
