Experts Say Zimmerman Attorney Made Smart Move

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) - By questioning a state investigator on the witness stand during a routine bail hearing, George Zimmerman's defense attorney showed some of the weaknesses in prosecutors' claims that the neighborhood watch volunteer committed second-degree murder, legal experts say.

A judge ruled Friday that Zimmerman can be released on $150,000 bail while he awaits trial on murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during a Feb. 26 confrontation in a Sanford, Fla. gated community. Zimmerman apologized to Martin's parents, who were in the courtroom for the bail hearing, in a surprise appearance on the witness stand. Zimmerman is pleading not guilty and claims self-defense.

But, this fool said,I don't know if he (meaning T. Martin) was armed or not armed. Now, any person with a head on his shoulder or common sense know, they would not pursue anyone if they didn't know if the person was armed or not armed.
