IMHO, he was caught where he knew he was in trouble and he was caught with a fight or flight reflex. He chose the wrong response.


As I understand Zimmerman's story, Martin lost him and then waited in "ambush" back at the car. My best guess is that Martin was pissed off at Zimmerman for following him and intended to give him an ass whipping to teach him a lesson. That is, Martin planned and carried out criminal felony assault.


I am glad to be here.
