Testimony from his trainer:
“He was just physically soft,” Adam Pollock told the court. “He was an overweight, large man when he came to us, and very pleasant — a very nice man, but physically soft. He was predominately fat, not a lot of muscle, not a lot of strength.”

If Martin did not tower over Zimmerman...or if Zimmerman had been a big tough looking guy instead a wimpy looking little guy...do you really think Martin would have jumped him?

I have some candy in my pocket too...doesn't make me a kid or give me the right to beat anyone.
