Trayvon Martin, cont.

10.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/28/trayvon-martin-police-video_n_1386764.html?ncid=wsc-huffpost-cards-image

There is no injury to George Zimmerman apparent on these police videos.  This conflicts with #4 and casts doubt on #9.  It focuses attention on the underlined portion of the "stand your ground" law below:

"If George Zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in any place where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force, if he reasonably believed that it was necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony."


Was it "necessary" for George Zimmerman to shoot Trayvon Martin?
