What comes to mind when you see a teenager walking home from the gas station on a rainy night with only a hoodie, a bag of Skittles and an Arizona Iced Tea? Does that sound like a profiled description of a suspicious person? Trayvon Martin was that profiled alleged suspicious teen who was shot and killed by neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman. Zimmerman claims he acted on self-defense based on a Florida state law Stand Your Ground, when aspectual evidence determines he acted with a motive to kill Trayvon. It’s understood that Zimmerman disregarded the neighborhood watchman rights by carrying a weapon, and acted as a cop. As well as, Zimmerman’s decision to disdain the 911 operator when told not to follow Trayvon; therefore, it’s apparent that Zimmerman acted on a motive. My inference suggests George Zimmerman should have been arrested because there was enough evidence; from the 911 calls, and the information the forensic analysts obtained, to prove he had a motive to kill Trayvon. According to Zimmerman, in the recorded 911 call the neighbor, the voice screaming and crying for help was him. His accusation of the altercation between him and Trayvon was that Trayvon was brutally attacking him and felt his life was in danger so he shot Trayvon in the act of self-defense. More specifically, according to tow forensic voice identification experts, one of whom told MSNBC, “The tests concluded that it’s not the voice of Mr. Zimmerman”, stated Tom Owen of Owen Forensic Services LLC and chair emeritus for the American Board of Record Evidence (MSNBC, 2012). How can a victim who cried for help be the aggressor? By following Trayvon, Zimmerman already broke the Florida state law Stand Your Ground, so the act of self-defense is ruled out.

Zimmerman claims the alleged altercation between him and Trayvon was the Trayvon was brutally smashing his head on the concrete and also broke his nose. In the enhanced recorded video surveillance of Zimmerman thirty minutes after he shot Trayvon shows the injuries are insufficient to Zimmermans description of the altercation of the altercation. Dr. Vidor Friedman, president of the Florida College of Emergency Physicians, argues; “If somebody had been beating his head against concrete, I’d think we’d see more obvious scrapes” (Gutman, 2012). My own view is that Zimmerman is contradicting the incidents that occurred between him and Trayvon. If Zimmerman was brutally attacked the way he described, his conditions would be a lot worse than what appeared on the surveillance camera.
