Repeatedly, it said this case is still under investigation. Nowhere did the police chief or the DA come out and said the evidence or injury of the shooter is consistent with his claim of self-defense or that there is nothing contradicting the shooter's claim as if to justify the killing and case closed.
Said like a true obfuscator.
What you say is not true.
From an article dated March 15, quoting the Chief of Police.
That is what they had at the end of the last investigation, and that is what they had at the start of the new investigation.
The only new evidence that we are aware of, is the suspect statement of girlfriend.
That's why Trayvon's case is very important to be heard and decided in court. After all the evidence been presented and decision given, then we would either have the answer or the laws that allow this to happen need to be revisited and changed, otherwise this country will be in a lot of mess from now on. More cases as this will be common.
A person should not be charged with a crime unless it is believed by the authorities, and supported by evidence, that they have committed a crime.
In this case what have the authorities already told us?
Oh, that's right!
Mr. Zimmerman provided a statement claiming he acted in self defense which at the time was supported by physical evidence and testimony.
&
"The evidence and testimony we have so far does not establish that Mr. Zimmerman did not act in self defense. We don't have anything to dispute his claim of self-defense, at this point, with the evidence and testimony that we have,"
Unless that evidence changes there is absolutely no reason to charge him, let alone take it to court.
Sounds like Zimmerman kept following despite the 911 operator telling him not to
He was not told "not to".
See quotes below.
The 911 call is not speculation.
That is right it is not.
And the screams that can be heard on the 911 recording have been identified by a eye-witness as belonging to Zimmerman.
That he made a racial slur is not speculation.
Whether he did or did not is all speculation at this time.
He was told to quit following him, but he continued.

Or if you prefer from CNN, March 15, 2012.
Quit trying to cover up for him like his father, and brother who weren't even there and speak as if they were.
No one here is trying to cover anything up. But I would suggest you stop trying to convict a man who did not act in an unlawful manner.
His lawyer is now claiming he will use the "Shaken Baby Syndrome" - which will make for a laugh if it goes to trial, as it only applies to "babies". Of course, now Mr. Macho is acting like a baby, not wanting to admit the truth.
That is not what the Lawyer is claiming.
Using an example to illustrate the severity of what was occurring is not invoking or even claiming he will use the "Shaken Baby Syndrome".
