The heart of this case has nothing to do Zimmerman getting his ass kicked or the whole self defense, defense. Whether or not Martin was guilty of anything is also not the issue. Zimmerman put himself in a situation that could only escalate into violence, rather than avoiding it altogether. Clearly a case of negligant mansloughter.
