First, just having a death is insufficient if you do not also have the appropriate mens rea. Second, while OTChat is not a jury, I will not blame the actual jury because of items that would not properly be before it. Finally, even an aggressor can claim self defense. The legal question is the reasonableness of the belief as his head was being bashed into the pavement, a scenario we have seen kill people before. That Zimmerman may have been following Martin although told not to is not sufficient to disprove because it does not tell about his state of mind when he acted in self defense.
