just a thought, but if GZ was acting as a neighborhood watch captain, then the neighborhood and members also bear responcibility for GZ actions. If this turns out to be the case, i hope TMs parents own the neighborhood.
If there was no chartered watch program, then GZ was acting solely as a citizen with no duty or reason to patrol or confront TM. If this is the case, GZ deserves whatever befalls him.
BTW it is my understanding (but im not certain) that Neighborhood watch organizations has a charter with guidelines that specifically state to call authorities, never confront suspects and Firearms are prohibited. If thats the case, poor George is screwed.
If that was a recognized program,,, someone will take a crack at the deeper (insured pockets) of the Watch Association.
In Florida they are "regulated" for lack of a better word. Charters, recognition and training from the local PC etc.
Someone is already figuing out how to distance that NWA from any agency with Zimmerman...this is gonna get good... and will drag on 10 or 15 years with the colateral stuff.
