Unfortunately, that probably won't even cover his attorney fees to date.

Looking at the size of zimmeran and the teen, a claim of disparity of force seems a bit far fetched, which is what he has to show to make it a legal lethal defense argument. But then again its florida and race is involved...
I dunno I read up on it for 5 mins. Seems like a situation any of us could get into. I personally would use a tazor or baton if I were playing night cop and leave the gun for a gun fight.

I cant say but ive heard the pics of Martin are all from his early teens. Rumor says he was 6'2 and broke zimmermans nose and was on top of him slamming his head into the sidewalk....that pic in my minds eye changes the media's biased scene completely....From the screams for help on the 911 call that were coming from zimmerman it seems like deadly force was his last option...Its really sad that a 17yr old was killed, they dont have the maturity to make good decisions...we need to train our kids to not be confrontational. Confrontation with an armed person leaves them with few options....

Confrontation with anyone isn't a particularly good idea. Zimmerman may well have been getting his ass handed to him and was justified in the use of deadly force but the dumb SOB shouldn't have been in that position in the first place. I'm Monday morning QB'ing this big time but damn, how many times do we have to read accounts of a permit holder leaving a place of relative safety to confront a BG before it's understood that IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA!
It's a license to carry; not permission to be a junior G-man.
