Actually there are a great many laws that do just that from privacy laws to restraining orders. I thought you used to play a cop on ATS? You would think a cop would know there are a ton of laws that can prevent me from following you.
Apparently from what the lawyer from Florida said (talk radio panel). Following - - - and following with presumption and intent - - are 2 different things. Zimmerman profiled Trayvon as a criminal - - with intent to prevent him from committing another crime. That qualifies as premeditated ill will - - - which gives reason for 2nd degree murder. The fact he was also armed could give strength to ill will.
Only repeated what they said.
To constitute depraved indifference, the defendant's conduct must be 'so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime. Depraved indifference focuses on the risk created by the defendant’s conduct, not the injuries actually resulting.

if i just had to shoot someone because he was beating me to death, i would still be on the floor half concussed dizzy and in pain, waiting for emergency help and the guy that came out to take the picture should be telling me to stay on the floor and wait for medical attention. or do you think the first thing i would do 2 minutes after i killed someone would be to tell the guy, i just killed this kid quick take a picture of my bloody head while i make this phone call, it was self defense i tell ya he almost killed me!!!!!! he seemed to have his wits about him enough to start proving his self defense immediately after he killed tray. so much for lying there half dead after that "brutal life threatening beating"

I always read several sites with various versions - opinions.
I am not ignorant or naive.
We still do not know everything. The scale could tip either way in this case.

Yeah, if george started the fight, then tray could defend himself. However, according to that funeral home guy, the only mark on tray was the bullethole. I would suspect if he was defending an attack, there would be some cuts and bruises on him as well.
IMO, it should be made against the law, except in special cases, to tell the media anything about any criminal case before it is settled. The only reason any case should be made public, is like trying to find a kidnapped victim, where someone can still be helped.

i am sorry i might be mistaken, did trays girlfriend call 911? her testimony is that she was on the phone with tray and she overheard zimmerman ask tray what he was doing and tray ask zim why he was following him, at that point the earpiece falls out of his ear and she loses contact with tray. if she is telling the truth, it kills the idea that tray ambushed zimmerman.
She never called 911. She never identified herself to law enforcement either. It was not until 3 weeks later where Mr. Martins parents were going through his cell phone bill did they find the call to his girlfriend. Even then they never contacted police. Instead they contacted their lawyer, who met with the girlfriend. After they had their meeting, she was then identified to the police by the lawyer as being on the phone with Martin the night of the incident.
Personally speaking not a very ethical stand point by the lawyer. I acknowledge his goal is to represent his clients zealously but since the parents arent charged and its still a criminal investigtion that action could come back and bite them in the ass if defense raises / detects any differences in her story.

What you are failing to take into account was the fact the 2 were wrestleing around on the ground. If Martin was on top of Zimmerman, and Zimmerman shoots, Martins body is not going to just stand up and move off of Zimmerman. Zimmerman would need to move the body off of him.
Secondly was any first aid provided to Martin by anyone?
When Police arrived on scene did they attempt any first aid?
When medical arrived on scene did they attempt any first aid?
At what time was the scene secured and cleared of medical personnel pending the arrival of the ME / Cornoner?
While medical disctates an injured person should not be moved until medically stable / protected, its does not completely prohibit it. There are circumstances where a body must be moved in order to facilitate first aid or to prevent further injuries depending on enviornmental factors, up to and including elevating the feet to assist inblood flow to the upper extremities.
So my question to you, since you are stating as a fact the position of the body does not support the events - was the body moved? If so by whom? why? Did Zimmerman apply first aid? Did any of the civilains who responded provide 1st aid? Did Police? Medical? Fire?
Since we still dont ahve a complete accounting of what occured from moment of contact to the moment police arrived, I fail to se how your version of events is anything but your opinion, and not fact.

Where did you get the information that she never called 911? Where did you get the information that the parents didn't know about the call to the girlfriend for 3 weeks? Just because it wasn't reported to the media until 3 weeks after the incident does not mean the family and lawyers didn't know about her. How can you say they never contacted police in one breath and then in the next say she was then identified to police.
It is now clear that police overlooked Martin's cell phone records.
Attorneys for Martin's family said it wasn't until weeks later, when Tracy Martin, Trayvon's father, was looking through the teen's cell phone bill that he noticed the timing of the last call. The family and their attorneys then contacted Trayvon's girlfriend and heard her account of the night. Lawyer Benjamin Crump, who represents the family, recorded an interview with the girl and provided it with Martin's cell phone records to federal authorities, who by then had joined the investigation.

Ive listened to all the 911 calls and all the eye witness accounts. Ive read the police reports and Ive listed to the investigator in the bond hearing. Have you? What you are trying to say is that someone moved the body 180 degrees. Not one person, not Zimmerman, not police, not eye witnesses, not investigators have said anything about the body being moved in any manner which would suggest it was moved 180 degrees.

Provide a source of any type that says his body was moved in any manner in which you suggest. I have provided many sources for my claims that back them up. Where is just 1 that even remotely suggests anything remotely close to what you are describing.

Then explain to me how the body can be located 3 town house deep in that row of town houses if Zimmerman wasn't pursuing Trayvon. I'm sure you will come up with some bogus reason with nothing to back up it with to explain it. According Zimmerman own father he was attacked at the 'T' of the sidewalks.....so how did they end up so far from that spot if that is where the altercation took place?

So you maintain your position that having a gun gives you the right to start fights and kill people because they try to disarm you? Either you should check in at the Dr. or have your guns confiscated. Right to bear arms does not mean right to go around killing people.

Based on your posts to date not really.

So when I listed the questions about the body possibly being moved, you couldnt answer those questions so instead you purposely change the meaning of my questions and falsely state that I said someone moved the body?
I asked you to prove the body was not moved, and I listed the groups that could have moved the body. Since we dont have all of the information and evidence, you cant say for a fact that the body was never moved because you dont know.
I keep forgetting your one of the lead investigators on this case, having access to all information and evidence. So when the Special Prosecuter stated in her press conference, and when the PA at the bail hearing stated after court, that there was more evidence / information that has not been released to the public, they meant everyone except you?
Also, please cite your sources and links to the full police report that states the body was never moved.

Please stop being lazy and obtuse and read posts and understand them before blatantly making a false accusation. See above.

I dont know... and neither do you. Since you have all the information and evidence in the case, including that which has not been released to the public, please provide us with copies / sources / pictures of said information and post it here so we all can see what you are seeing.
As far as the lazy response about you posted that information already... If thats really the lazy way you are going to take then we will take the same with you. All of the info above has been posted in several threads now, including the conversation about the 16 year old girl.
So, how about you actually answer questions asked of you instead of calling people names and trying to shift people away from the fact that you -
* - Dont answer questions but obfuscate them
* - call people a liar while offering nothing to support that accusation.
* - demand people priovide you with their sources while providing none of your own.
* - ignore any and all information that does not support your biased agenda
* - that you refuse to disclose your background and education in this area while constantly questioning others on their background.
* - and that you always attack the poster when you cant attack the evidence.
By all mens though... prove me wrong.
She never called 911. She never identified herself to law enforcement either. It was not until 3 weeks later where Mr. Martins parents were going through his cell phone bill did they find the call to his girlfriend.
