So let me get this straight, and please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm one of the few people that did not follow this trial closely.......
Trayvon is walking home at night, Zimmerman sees him and calls 911 about a suspicious character in the neighborhood, the dispatcher advises him not to follow or try to engage because the cops are being dispatched, Zimmerman ignores the advice (which apparently is legal to do) and pursues Trayvon anyway, Zimmerman confronts Trayvon and during the confrontation he ends up taking an ass whipping, because he's getting his ass beat he pulls out a gun and shoots Trayvon. Trayvon ends up dying. Zimmerman's defense for the shooting is then he felt threatened and as a consequence he beats a murder rap for a confrontation that he initiated. Oh and it turns out that there was no cause for alarm in the first place because Trayvon was just walking home from the store after buying candy....
Does this sum up essentially what happened?
