A bloody nose and a few fairly minor abrasions on the head do not really indicate someone smashing your head into the cement with all their force multiple times with the intent of killing you. Martin deserved to be locked away, for sure. Hes no exemplary citizen. But the question is if he should have been killed for it. An attack need not turn into a death.

Btw, marijuana was found in Trayvon, but that doesn't make you aggressive.
Also the doctor said zimmerman's wounds were 'superficial', meaning they were just scratches, nothing deep.
Zimmerman said trayvon beat his head '25 times' against the pavement. Really??

In a situation like that, when you are getting beat up you don't think as you would normally, usually one has to think very fast and the adrenaline rush makes it even harder to not act impulsively. It's not that I'm saying that this completely justifies the officer's actions but it should definitely be considered.
Supertoaster:
I think it was manslaughter, not murder.

If it were simply fight/flight response to being attacked like that, there would be no doubt of innocence of a crime, as there was no intent nor neglect. My seeing of this is that there was evidently more to it then fight/flight. He seemed happy about the situation. Like a psychopath, he had no remorse. Personally, thats my biggest issue with the case.
