30. thank you. Zimmerman's story might be coherent and believable if Trayvon were a fucking punk
and actually, in fact, up to no good, and this was somehow
provable. But he wasn't, and therefore it's not, not even close. So the jury has to believe that Zimmerman is not a liar -- but he's already been blatantly proved to be a liar, and with no apparent remorse. I had to google the deadly weapon doctrine effect... is this what you mean? (from Wikipedia) Intent to commit a dangerous felony (the "felony-murder" doctrine).
Under state of mind (i), intent to kill, the deadly weapon rule applies. Thus, if the defendant intentionally uses a deadly weapon or instrument against the victim, such use authorizes a permissive inference of intent to kill. In other words, "intent follows the bullet." ... Under state of mind (iii), an "abandoned and malignant heart", the killing must result from defendant's conduct involving a reckless indifference to human life and a conscious disregard of an unreasonable risk of death or serious bodily injury. |
