I'd bet that the most of the same posters criticizing Martin and sticking up for Zimmerman would be doing the total opposite had it been Martin who killed Zimmerman.

I don't know about the rest, but if the information and our laws were the exact same, then I would have kept the exact same opinion. Burden of proof on discrediting Martin claim of self-defence by Zimmerman's prosecution. Martin, who had a gun, claims he was fearing for his life with Zimmerman, who was slamming his head against the ground. With no proof beyond reasonable doubt that Martin was lying through other testimony, Martin's story cannot be assumed to be false beyond reasonable doubt and he's found not guilty.
