I wish the defense would put GZ on the stand so that he can ask the basic questions:
1) Did you approach Martin or did Martin approach you?
GZ: He approached me.
2) When exactly did he circle your car and walk off into the distance-- before or after your phone calls to the police dept.?
GZ: (I don't know what he'd say.)
3) Do you really want the court to believe that you wanted to be a police officer, took college courses related to that field, went through the classes to be certified to carry your weapon concealed in public, but you never heard of the "Stand Your Ground Law" until after this tragedy?
GZ: Yes, I never heard of it, until after that tragic night.
He's lying on question 3, but he probably isn't the only person lying in this trial.
I think the whole trial is a mockery of justice and even if the defendant gets by this time, the defendant won't get away with what he did and what he's doing now-- unless somehow he repents.
He KNOWS he started the altercation in the first place.
Neither a "self-defense" plea or the SYG law covers the aggressor.
An acquittal in this case will have very far reaching legal consequences.

You obviously are not following the case. The teachers that testified said that GZ was wanting to study to be a Prosecutor, not a cop. The HO wanted to outfit GZ with a uniform and car, for his neighborhood watch business, and he declined the offer.
When GZ's life was comprised, he then is on self-defense. And as the Defense stated in closing arguments today - "We have the injuries to prove our client was sucker punched." That means he is now in self-defense mode and should be acquitted.
I will say that anyone or group that threatens to riot are a bunch of barbaric people, and need to be shot.
