In reply to the discussion: Zimmerman is guilty of involuntary manslaughter, at most [View all]magical thyme
(14,881 posts)He stalked him, likely instigated and definitely got into a fight with him, and when he was losing the fight, he killed him. On purpose. Nothing about that was involuntary.
As a neighborhood watch, he was instructed not to investigate not to follow. He chose to ignore those instructions and follow. Chase according to witnesses.
The 911 dispatcher asked him not to follow. He chose to ignore that advice and follow.
He told the dispatcher he'd meet the police at a specified point, and then ignored what he told the dispatcher, and chose to follow.
Now go back to your fantasy land where armed men who stalk, fight with and shoot unarmed teenagers in the chest at point blank range are guilty of "involuntary manslaughter" at most.
The rest of us, we'll wait for all the evidence and jury's decision.
