Deb said it best: Teeto is delusional.
Teeto wrote:
The evidence shows that GZ stalked, followed, and harassed Trayvon for well over ten minutes while in his vehicle and then on foot.
Evidence? What evidence? Certainly not the NEN call, which rather definitively sets the timeline of events.
And you might want to look up the statutory meaning of "stalk".
Quote:
It was not until this point that Trayvon acted in his own defense and was attempting to disarm GZ. Based on this evidence, the Court will most likely find that GZ was the initial aggressor who provoked the use of force against him.
Sorry, Teeto; even if you had a shred of evidence that Zimmemran did either, Florida statutes don't consider mere "following" or "harassing" to constitute sufficient justification for the use of force in self-defense.
Quote:
Further, Defendant has not shown that when force was exerted against him, the force was so great as to create fear of imminent death or great bodily harm...
First, Teeto clearly simply ignores the physical evidence. Having someone break your nose, knock you to the ground, pin you to the ground, prevent you from getting up, and repeatedly knock your head into the ground every time you try to get up easily meets the statutory standard of reasonableness.
Second: the broken nose is prima facie evidence o felony aggravated battery, which is itself sufficient statutory justification for the use of lethal force in self-defense.
Quote:
...and that he exhausted every reasonable means of escape.
First, Florida self-defense statutes do not require one to exhaust every reasonable means of escape.
Second, Martin had established disparity of force over Zimmerman, and had him pinned to the ground, actively preventing him from trying to get up. Zimmerman had no means or opportunity to escape.
Quote:
The trouble is, GZ's gun can’t be the source of his fear for his life, since it is the only weapon and he is the one who brought it to the scene.
Irrelevant. Teeto is just babbling here.
Quote:
So, not only is he not supposed to be at the scene...
Zimmerman was a resident of RTL, and had every right to be in the public areas of the community.
Quote:
...he’s not supposed to have brought a gun there either.
Zimmerman was licensed to carry a concealed weapon, and was carrying a legal firearm.
Quote:
If TM went for the gun, it counts as part of TM’s self-defense. If GZ keeps control of it, the law only recognizes GZ’s right to retreat.
Teeto suffers from cranial-rectal inversion here.
Quote:
MOM is apparently now going to try and prove that GZ could not retreat because Trayvon was sitting on top of GZ. This will also fail because (1) there is a witness who saw GZ on top of Trayvon when the gun was fired...
No such witness has been disclosed in the State's discovery thus far. As far as I know, there are no eyewitnesses to the actual shooting itself, period.
Quote:
(2) GZ admits that once he gained control over Trayvon by having him in a wrist lock...
Zimmerman said that he had Martin in a wrist lock? [citation needed]
Quote:
...he positioned his hand so not to shoot it, aimed and fired one shot.
Amazingly well-restrained for someone with an allegedly depraved mind, no?
Quote:
He gave no warning to Trayvon - think about that - even a LE officer must give a warning before pulling the trigger.
At this point, I must conclude that Teeto is incapable of reading and understanding Florida statutes.
Quote:
He did nothing but resort to deadly force instead of attempting to retreat from the situation once he was in control of both Trayvon and the gun.
A faulty conclusion derived from specious claims, obvious contradictions of discovery evidence and eyewitness accounts, and blatant ignorance of Florida statutes.
Quote:
(3) We still do not know what the forensics are going to be so far as the trajectory of the bullet, but I believe the bullet trajectory could not have occurred as it did with Trayvon being on top of GZ.
What pat of the trajectory do you fail to understand? The bullet's trajectory is already well-established.
Quote:
GZ cannot satisfy the elements of S. 776.041 because (1) he was committing an assault on Trayvon...
Where is the evidence that Zimmerman assaulted Martin, or otherwise acted as the initial aggressor of a physical altercation?
Quote:
...and (2) he did not attempt to retreat or otherwise take another course of action to avoid having to use deadly force before actually doing so once he gain control over his gun.
Still not required under Florida statutes.
