Fact: Perpetrator was apprehended several hours south and east of the crime scene and was arrested.
Fact: Victim was a young black male, a kid.
Fact: Perpetrator was an older white male, a full grown, mentally and physically mature, adult.
The style of music was probably a big factor-- which may or may not point back to the race of the victim. I live here in Florida and my gut feeling is that race was involved-- specifically race coupled with style of music.
Whatever the perpetrator's motivation, he thought he could get away with his murder and is now using the courts to defend his murder of a 17 yr old youth, who was doing something that many, many, many young people do on a regular basis.
Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law allows for these kinds of murders and this case could be indicative of a trend, indicative of a mindset that believes that one can kill whoever one wants, whenever one wants for whatever reason one wants and claim self defense.

"
Fact, fact ,fact....VICTIM." So far, there has been no trial. So why are we acting like we know what the "facts" are,and whether or not there was a "victim"? This is where you are jumping to conclusions.
Before you mentioned the Martin case. Worry not. It was decided long ago that Zimmerman would be found guilty. There is not going to be an actual trial, just a show.
