"I would say there's reasonable doubt. I would say nobody knows who started the initial fight," Dershowitz told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.
"Remember, it's monumentally irrelevant who's morally guilty here."
"Whether or not Zimmerman was a racist and racially profiled and shouldnt have been doing it and didnt listen to police, that's all irrelevant in Florida law," Dershowitz said.

The Defense needs to demonstrate that an MMA-trained man with a 40 pound advantage and a loaded gun had *reasonable* cause to fear a 3" taller teen armed with skittles.
Now the only thing I see giving him *reasonable* fear is that he scared the daylights out of the teenager by chasing him around in the dark until he caught up with him. Make somebody afraid for their life and corner them, and you should expect them to fight for their life.
Common sense tells me you can't let armed people chase other people until you've forced a confrontation, and then use that confrontation as justification to kill them.
Hopefully the jury will understand this: if they acquit, it will be open season on *everybody* in Florida. Not just the usual targets.

I certainly would not declare him innocent. There's a big difference between declaring him innocent and declaring him not guilty," he said.
Folks should read the article, Newshax and Steve Malzberg not withstanding...
They will publish what others won't.
They are also a pretty good humor site. World Nut Daily even more so.
But then I have a dark sense of humor!
