No kidding.
Zimmerman's injuries revealed
trevor's injuries(to his knuckles)
an eye witness to the confrontation corroborating that it was Zimmerman yelling for help.

True, what about the feds and the proposed hate crime allegations?
'hate crimes ' are essentially a means to extraordinarily punish someone for what they may have been to be thinking at the time they committed an illegal act of violence.
If Zimmerman is found to have been justified in his actions, it SHOULD mean there was no criminal act committed, thus no hate crime, unless hate crime legislation is written to provide that unprotected classes cannot defend themselves from protected classes.
But then, IANAL, and this is an election year.
