The statute itself says quite clearly that it has to be repeatedly. There's a reason no one has ever said this would apply to Zman.
The Trial detective Christopher Serino concluded that in addition to him failing to identify himself as neighborhood watch..
"Investigative findings show that (Zimmerman) had at least two opportunities to speak with (Martin) in order to defuse the circumstances surrounding their encounter," Serino wrote in the report. "On at least two occasions (Zimmerman) failed to identify himself as a concerned resident or a neighborhood watch volunteer.
Both prosecutors and defense attorneys asked Serino about when and whether George Zimmerman was following Trayvon Martin the night of the altercation. De la Rionda replayed a portion of the Feb. 29 interview tape in court, in which Zimmerman says, "They told me not to follow him. I wasn't following him, I was just going in the same direction."
"That's following," Serino said on the tape.
O'Mara asked whether Serino had any evidence that Zimmerman continued to follow Trayvon Martin after a non-emergency dispatcher told him not to.
"I would answer I have information, yes," Serino said. "Just based on where we located Trayvon and the fact that the altercation happened after the confrontation. That's my interpretation. There was some following."

bare in mind contrary to where Zimmerman claims the fight took place , Martins body was found much further away. I'm sure its not convenient he placed the fight closer to his car so it didn't make it clear he pursued him no no not at all.
I literally see bushes. Nothing in that claim comes off as a lie, at worst it's a bad recollection. He says he was walking past a sidewalk that trayvon was on when he confronted Zman. He was already past him and didn't see him.
Ah so any evidence of him changing his story and lying is now just " bad recollection'. I'm sure he was suffering from more of this bad recollection when he fabricated the part of the fight where his head was being slammed against the sidewalk dozens of times or when he and his wife tried to hide their funds from the court to secure his bond and hid away his spare passport. Just as I'm sure bad recollection led him to impersonate a security guard at a store. It must be rough for more zimzam suffering from such a poor memory.
This is where Travyons body was to be exact. How is a 6'3 individual going to hide himself in some crotch high bushes?
Doesn't mean anything. DNA isn't obligated to appear if he touched it. Medical examiners will say as much. In that video Zman doesn't claim that he touched it, just that he went for it either. Re-watch the video.
Wrong. I'm beginning to wonder if you have even read anything of this case and just made up your mind Zimmerman was justified and kept hammering on with it out of some sense of pride
“[Trayvon] took his hand that was covering my nose and went for the gun, saying, ‘You’re gonna die now, motherf-----,’ ” the book quotes Zimmerman as saying. “Somehow, I broke his grip on the gun where the guy grabbed it between the rear sight and the hammer. I got the gun in my hand, raised it toward the guy’s chest and pulled the trigger.”

Never heard this claim before. You're gonna have to source it
I told the dispatcher what I had witnesses, the dispatcher took note of my location & the suspect fled to a [darkened?] area of the sidewalk, as the dispatch was asking me for an exact location the suspect emerged from the darkness and circled my vehicle.

Funny how he failed to inform the 911 dispatcher of this. And why exactly would you get out of a car if you were fearful of your safety?
Strawman. You have to disprove his statements, and you aren't doing a great job of that.
A strawman is not showing an individual has a history of lying and being physically violent. As i said past and post behavior are indicators of what would act in the situation at hand. I highlighted him blatantly lytng about the incident here. Let me guess that proves nothing? lol
There isn't any evidence that he struck Trayvon, period. There totally are bushes in the video by the way, lol. Who said trayvon ran off two times..?.
You dont have to strike someone to start an assault. You can grab them, push them, swing at them and miss etc,etc, There were screams heard on the phone that Zimmerman specifically acknowledged weren't him. Why would Martin be screaming if it was a one sided attack as Fat boy wanted to portray?
Um, George in his own words said he fled, then came back to circle his car, then left out of sight again then came back to assault him when he got out of his vehicle.
Where are you getting this arm snaked behind his back? In the video you posted he says no such thing
Are you serious or are you suffering from some of this bad recollection George is plagued with as well?
At 10:16 as hes running through his side of the events he clearly shows that he pinned trayvons arm with his right inner arm then drew out the gun with his right hand hand from a holster in his back pocket on his right side where he gestures to where the gun was located That would be incredibly difficult to do this give you had to simultaneously keep the persons arm wedges against your bicep and side when they are clearly by zimmermans own admittance stronger than you, lift your hips to allow room for to grab the gun and then snaked your fore arm to your back pocket and yank the gun out.
Lets not forget if martin was in a direct mounted position at the time of the gun being reached for Trayvons thigh should be heavily blocking Zimmerman access to reach back for his pistol
Sure, it's entirely possible he was losing a fight he started by punching Trayvon. There is no evidence that supports that though.
Given its well documented Zimmerman told multiple contradictory stories of the shooting and medical experts and detectives are stating his statements don't fit with the evidence provided its safe to say thats the highest likelihood of what happened.
You can type " theres no evidence" " that proves nothing" until your fingers bleed it doesn't change the fact that honest people would not have to concoct a continually changing nonsensical retelling of the vents that unfolded that night if they were in fact a mere victim
SYeah, you are conflating things. You can't just toss out the wild conjecture along with the factual statements she says. The jury knows what she said. They were not instructed to disregard the entirety of her testimony. Ergo, it obviously is valid for me to reference the statements she made about trayvon returning back to Zman and her speculation that it was in regards to possibly fight.
You can feel free to reference the fact that she believed it was Trayvon on bottom, screaming for help. I will then reference the many witnesses that said it was Zman. They heard the same thing as her..they are just as credible in that regard.
Well sure if you want to use a unreliable witness as proof then you cant cherry pick her statements to suit your beliefs. In her ever changing story she stated you could hear martin yelling for Zimmerman to get off of him.
That
1. Highlights what i said earlier about a fight consisting of more than simply being "struck''
2. Lines up with fat boy admitting the screaming heard on the tape was not him.
But lets just focus on one part of her unreliable testimony that she believes he went after Zimmerman because that simply sounds the best to you. That makes a world of sense.
