beating on the guy in the red sweater, the inability to determine who was shouting for help). According to Zimmerman, Martin saw his weapon and they fought for it and Zimmerman ended up
shooting him in the chest. Since Martin isn't around to give his side of events (conveniently, I know) and since there is no evidence to disprove this, they pretty much had to acquit. In my opinion, of course. To prove second degree murder, they would have to disprove the self-defense defense and show that he was unhinged enough to take this opportunity to go kill Martin.
