I think it's obvious to everyone following this case that the biggest piece of evidence will be whether or not Trayvon attacked Z. If T legitimately attacked and that can be proved, I think Z used appropriate measures in this case. If not, Z needs to serve 20-life.
Something that I think could be looked up would be, in the previous 40+ times Z called 911, how many times did he draw/discharge his weapon?
If this is in fact the only time that it can be proven, why did he choose to brandish/use his gun this particular time? Did he in fact fear for his personal safety?
Many have made reference to Z stalking T. The police were well aware this is what he does. He's a community 'watchman'. Did he step over the lines along the way? We don't really know.
All I know is, it does look like protocol was followed after the killing. He was in custody at the station and was interrogated.
I have a son who's 18. I wouldn't want him killed like this, either, so I'm empathetic to T's family.
Something tells me though, that Z did not just decide to go kill a young black kid that night for sport.
