[QUOTE="Rajder, post: 1769633, member: 11636"] Exactly. Just saw that the Prosecutors affidavit claims that Zimmerman provoked the confrontation. [url]http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/12/11164328-prosecutors-contend-george-zimmerman-provoked-confrontation-with-trayvon-martin?lite[/url] Also, everyone needs to remember that the media didn't get involved in this case because a black kid was killed. It got involved in this case because Zimmerman was never arrested or charged with a crime. At that point the race issues took off. If he would have been charged with manslaughter from the start we wouldn't be talking about this now. And it does bring the question up that if there is enough evidence to charge him with 2nd degree murder now, why wasn't he at least charged with manslaughter the first time around? [/QUOTE]
