Exactly. The prosecution has already proven its case. The burden is on the defense to prove it was self defense. If they fail, the only question is how much time Zimmerman will spend in prison, and if he makes it out with his life and virginity intact.

Does anyone remember that originally the whole "stand your ground" defense was the entire reason GZ shouldn't be even arrested? Now we know that he was not even remotely close to that definition of the law.

If anything, TM was within his right to claim SYG, because he wasn't committing any crime and was being attacked by GZ far from where GZ was originally.

So the head being pounded by TM was justified based on Florida's own SYG law and GZ was the person actually committing a crime. That's a first degree murder charge with special circumstances...GZ is lucky with only getting the 22 year max.

Guilty baby...

He could, but he committed a classic blunder.

The most famous of which is " Never get involved in a land war in Asia"

Only slightly less well known is "Never "Stand Your Ground" against an opponent packing a 9mm when all you got is skittles and a sidewalk.

The state has to prove that George did not fear for his life, George was on his back and had head wounds. You had a witness that said different but she was blown out of the water. (she used a photo of the thug at age 12 to make this observation..The state has nothing when using this last witness. She is what the whole trial centers around.

Incorrect. George has to prove not only that he was in fear of his life or great bodily harm but that he was in that fear by reasonable standards. It's called an affirmative defense. That's what George is pursuing. And the burden of proof in such defense is on the defendant.

The burden of proof is on Zimmerman's defense team, not the state. Zimmerman admitted to killing Martin. The presumption of unlawful homicide is with the state. He is charged with 2nd degree murder, with all lesser included charges, including manslaughter and third degree (felony) murder.

Were the Skittles used in the attack? Did he throw them at George?

I think they were primarily used as a distraction.

Trayvon said " Yo Cracker, want a skittle?"

He held the skittles up with his right hand.

While George was looking at the bag to see if

they were regular or tropical, Trayvon popped

him with his left.

Poor kid. He was doing his little brother a favor, by running down to the seven eleven for snacks. The skittles and the arizona drink were unopened. I hope little brother is happy now.

I believe for the 2nd degree murder charge the state would have to prove he acted with malicious intent.

I think the un-opened bag of skittles demonstrates Martins good character. The kid wasn't even his step-brother yet. I woulda eatin all the red ones before I got home.

When the issue of self-defense is raised, the burden of proof is on the prosecution to prove the defendant did not act in self-defense. Here is the jury instruction: If in your consideration of the issue of self-defense you have a reasonable doubt on the question of whether the defendant was justified in the use of deadly force, you should find the defendant not guilty. However, if from the evidence you are convinced that the defendant was not justified in the use of deadly force, you should find [him] [her] guilty if all the elements of the charge have been proved.
