Just to play devil's advocate (cuz it's fun) on the reasonable doubt issue, lets stop speculating on what TM might have been doing and look at something that is in GZ statement.
So we are at the point of the verbal brouhaha. We know it is dark, overcast, poorly illuminated (from various statements). Adrenaline will be running a bit hot. The Zimmerman reaches for his phone, per his own testimony. OK, so where was the phone? In a jacket pocket? Back pocket? belt holster? Regardless, any of those movements could appear to be reaching for a weapon, at which point TV decked him "in fear for his life". I wear my phone on a belt clip and if I was moving my right hand fast for it and you couldn't see it clearly it could be perceived to be reaching for a gun holster.
So, was TV actually the one on SYG?
Not saying it happened that way, but I think a case could be made to cause some doubt on TV being the aggressor, but rather responding to what he thought was a potentially aggressive action.
Long day at work and it is my turn to be a total ass (after dealing with a bunch of them all day).
