re: #432 darthstar
The onus is on the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. If the defense feels they didn’t do this, then no worries, right? But they’re worries about the manslaughter charge now, which getting out of the car pretty much confirms, as by Zimmerman’s own account, he followed Martin, not the other way around. The whole purpose of the animation would be to twist that part of the narrative, and seed doubt into the jury.
Or maybe we should just have competing animations, and let the jury pick the winner.
Reasonable doubt exists for the self-defense jury instruction, which the Defense has made clear they do not feel that the State has successfully overcome.
