I'm curious, lets say Zimmerman didn't have a gun on him and TM didn't kill him, but put him in critical condition - awoke paralyzed or something. Minus the bullet hole, all other evidence is the same. The bruised knuckles on TM, the battered face of zimm, the following, the phone calls, the social network evidence and history of fighting/drug use etc. when zimm wakes up and says he told me I was going to die that night and I was scared for my life, does TM get attempted murder charges? If not, why? If so, how was zimm not justified in shooting him?
