The real truth involves fault on both sides, which is why I think Zimmerman deserves some type of punishment.

Regarding his story..... that's what publicists are for. Georgie will certainly get coaxed into selling a version of the story that will sell. And people will line up for blocks just to buy whatever there is out there regarding the story. Oh, I think Zimmerman will do just fine down the line.
For sure, and I said from day one that I'm not standing up for Zimmerman as a guy. He sounds like a douchey, wanna-be cop busy-body. He's also said a lot of messed up shit (this was god's plan, ect). On a personal level, I don't like Zimmerman.

But the fact is, LEGALLY there was only one crime committed on that night, and the crime was committed by Treyvon. There's really nothing you can punish Zimmerman for legally. It's fine to say "well common sense says he shouldn't have followed", ect, but legally he did nothing wrong. You can follow anyone you want unless they have a restraining order against you.

I just don't see Zimmerman making good with this. Even with OJ Simpson, where OJ quite clearly was guilty of those two murders, he was such a beloved figure that he had tons of people on his side.

How do you sell Zimmerman to the public? Everyone hates him.
