Back to the comment about the difference between 204lbs and 194lbs not meaning anything, IMO it means nothing because Zimmerman has been pretty much proven to be a wimp. His trainer said he was just starting to learn how to throw a punch when this all went down. Had he been a guy that knew how to fight and been athletic, the 30-40 lbs he had on Trayvon might have meant something, but when a 6' tall 150-160 athletic 17 year old, who apparently had been in a lot of fights and also played contact sports, takes on a doughy 5'8" wuss, that weight difference means nothing. I'm taking Trayvon there all day. No doubt in my mind he handled Zimmerman with no problem.
IMO this kid made a terrible decision to beat the shit out of the "creepy ass cracker" who was following him, and it cost him his life. Do I think Zimmerman was in the wrong and probably told some of the lies the prosecution accused him of while telling the tale of the lead up to the confrontation to make himself look better? Yes. Not sure if that is enough to convict him of manslaughter, we'll see, but I also believe every word of how he took a beating at the hands of this kid and feared for his life.
