Zimmerman used zero judgment, period. Martin was only 17 and he is expected to have less judgment at that age. Odds are that if Z didn't have a loaded gun that night, he would have suffered a beat down and that's about it. Its a stretch to say that Martin was literally trying to do all he could to kill him. Zimmerman had a few cuts and some bleeding because that's what happens in a fight, but he looks fine now, all healed up and 100 lbs heavier. He would have been better off just carrying pepper spray or even a stun gun and learning some basic self defense. A loaded gun will give a person more confidence, which can potentially be a bad thing. I doubt he would have even followed Martin if he was unarmed. I don't think he should be charged with murder at all, but his lack of judgement and careless actions make him most definitely responsible for manslaughter. However I don't know how this will play out. Convicted or not, he will have an extremely hard life ahead of him.
