So how about that Zimmerman trial?

there is also no evidence to suggest zimmerman "harassed" martin. as a neighborhood watchman, he followed him and upon confronting him, asked him what he was doing.

Against the advice of every Neighboorhood Watch organization's guidelines in the entire country. Zimmerman is not a policeman, despite his fantasies to the contrary. According to SYG, Martin had the right to defend himself against Zimmerman. Too bad he was black. Apparently, in Florida, they just send you on home for picking a fight, then killing black people. That is, until someone reports it to national media.

that's all we know from the facts. there's nothing wrong with that. it's not illegal, it's not unethical, it's not even all that stupid.

It's causing the unnecessary death of another human being through negligence, incompetence, and stupidity. In other words, it's manslaughter.

if, as zimmerman claims, martin attacked him on that basis, zimmerman had every right to defend himself.

Martin had every right to defend himself from a strange man, who is not a security guard or police officer, following him. Or are all black teenage males "fucking punks" up to "no good." And Zimmerman is a proven liar. He and his wife both got thrown into jail for lying about their finances to a judge, remember?

and given the reasonable assumption that zimmerman would face serious bodily harm during this attack (he had already suffered a broken nose and was being pinned to the ground), he was justified to use deadly force.

Maybe he shouldn't harass strangers and he wouldn't get his ass kicked. If he hadn't had his gun, his fat pussy ass wouldn't have gotten out of the car in the first place. It comes down to that idiotic SYG law that never should have been passed by fat, old white baby boomers frightened to death of black people. This is what happens.

this all supposes zimmerman's claims are truthful, and they may not be. but there is vastly insufficient evidence to disprove his claims beyond a reasonable doubt. hence, charging him was an exercise in futility

Wrong. It's the state's duty to investigate the killing of a human being by another human being, no matter the circumstances beyond "Hey Bob, it's just a dead ******. Let him go, you know how them coons are."
