So how about that Zimmerman trial?

there actually is evidence that it was self defense. zimmerman sustained a broken nose and cuts to the back of his head and his temple, while trayvon suffered no injuries consistent with being hit. zimmerman was indisputably losing the fight. there are witnesses that have testified to zimmerman being on the bottom, and a half dozen people have testified that it was zimmerman's voice calling for help.

some of that is in dispute. there are also witnesses that believe it was trayvon on bottom. trayvon's family has testified that it was trayvon's voice calling for help.

but to say there is "no evidence" that points to self defense is inaccurate. there is significant, but far from conclusive, evidence that supports such a claim. there is not conclusive evidence to disprove such a claim. that is the crux of this case.
