You guys really need to work on your english. This is a discussion about evidence. It's not a theory that Zimmerman acted irrationally and referred to Trayvon as if he was somebody else who Zimmerman thought he was.
Trust me... it's not going to be hard for the prosecution to paint a picture for the jury. It's clear from the recorded phone call that Zimmerman was under the mistaken impression that Trayvon was somebody else. This primarily based on the fact he was black like the burglary suspects.
It's right there in the police report that Zimmerman was incorrect... and yet all of his actions were based on his flawed judgment.
He knew he wasn't supposed to get out of the car and go after anybody... he did anyway.
It's going to be cake for them to show that Zimmerman was acting irrationally and playing vigilante that night. He was kind enough to leave ample evidence of all of this on the audio recording of his call to police.
Without any evidence as to who started the physical altercation this case is going to come down to was GZ's use of force justified at the time he exercised force. The jury will receive the following instruction:
Read in all cases.
In deciding whether defendant was justified in the use of deadly force, you must judge [him] [her] by the circumstances by which [he] [she] was surrounded at the time the force was used. The danger facing the defendant need not have been actual; however, to justify the use of deadly force, the appearance of danger must have been so real that a reasonably cautious and prudent person under the same circumstances would have believed that the danger could be avoided only through the use of that force. Based upon appearances, the defendant must have actually believed that the danger was real.
