You’re cherry picking the prosecution’s experts. At least two forensic experts at the trial said his wounds were consistent with one having one’s head slammed against concrete, hard. And there was the little matter of a broken nose. In hindsight, that may mean nothing to a macho guy like you must be–but if you’ve just had your nose broken, and are laying on the ground with your head being whacked over and over into concrete, I can see how some normal people might think they’re in mortal danger. I know I did when my jaw was broken in a mugging–non-life threatening at that point–yeah. But it sure didn’t feel like it–and I had every reason to fear for my life.
Again–and of course–obviously—this is based on Zimmerman’s account. And that account is very, very, very possibly complete bullshit. Fine.
But please don’t pass cherry picked testimony as the only testimony, and don’t imply that only a pussy could legitimately fear for their life in a fight. Even a pudgy 34 year old against a 17 year old. Because you’re dead wrong.
