There is no way of knowing what his motive was. But it was decided by the jury that there was enough reason for Zim to fear for his life to make shooting Trayvon justified. None of us will ever truly know what either person was thinking but I personally believe that Zim’s reaction (or lack there of) during the reading of the verdict speaks to his thoughts. He knew in his heart that he was innocent so hearing the judge read the verdict just proved it. Where-as had he known he did something wrong, I think he would have been over excited by the reading of the verdict because he would be getting away with it. That’s just my personal feelings… nobody will ever truly know but him… and he’ll have to live with it the rest of his life.
I understand how the courtroom works, but the blatant disregard for proper practice in this case was just overwhelming. Between the judge interrogating Zim about his choice not to testify, to the countless times the defense had to fight with the prosecution to get anything, to the decision to add additional charges 3/4 through the trial because the prosecution obviously weren’t confident in their own case. This trial was a complete joke.
You have any idea the amount of coaching that Zimmerman received to make sure he had a poker face during the verdict? His reaction is "proof’ that he’s innocent? His father is a retired judge for christ sake.
As far as we will never know the truth, I’ll just wait for the Science Fiction version
