No, he threatened Dunn, and Dunn is now imprisoned for life for defending himself. It says a lot about you that you think that’s acceptable. Sure, Dunn should be in jail for attempted murder, for shooting as the others were fleeing, but not for murder, as there was no murder. > [@](#): > > We also have no evidence other than the self-serving claims by Zimmerman, a man with a record for lying, that Martin attacked him.

Fine, then Zimmerman is innocent. Come back when you can prove Zimmeman started the altercation. But unless you have evidence otherwise, Zimmerman is the victim of a crime, not a criminal. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/george-zimmerman-in-the-news-again/694480)._
