Also, Zimmerman's excuse side of the story:

Zimmerman said he had stepped out of his truck to check the name of the street he was on when Trayvon attacked him from behind as he walked back to his truck, police said. He said he feared for his life and fired the semiautomatic handgun he was licensed to carry because he feared for his life.

Same, it's disgusting that this guy is getting away with this.

Wow, that's a poor ass excuse.
 
I looked up some info about this situation at school during my lunch period and if my memory is right, Zimmerman saw the kid, chased him, cornered him, and then did the deed. Does that sound like self-defense to you guys? Yeah, I know, stupid rhetorical question is stupid.

Trayvon was on the phone when he was attacked and the logs kinda give insight to what happened. Trayvon was trying to get away from him, and Zimmerman followed and attacked first.

Now in face of all of that, it now makes the police look even WORSE for taking Zimmerman's side. Granted, they probably wanted more evidence to be sure, but still, given the situation and that this kid was unarmed and not calling for trouble, it still makes them look bad.
 
I think we should withold judgement until we hear all sides of the story and get all the details.

We HAVE heard all sides of the story. We've heard Simmerman's lies, and we've seen proof disproving them.

In the USA, there is a presumption of innocence until proven guilty by a jury of your peers. A jury of mixed races and gender will decide the man's fate.

He needs to be brought to court in order for that to happen.

Are you insinuating this ain't not go to trial?
 
I'm not insinuating anything. Their police department has refused to bring it to court.

It's been nearly two weeks and the Sanford Police have refused to arrest George Zimmerman. In their public statements, they even go so far as to stand up for the killer - saying he's "a college grad" who took a class in criminal justice.
