Don F,

In your post of 1 Jul 13 - 06:08 PM you state three times that "The police" told Zimmerman not to follow Martin. I have previously provided references and quotes from the trial where a witness stated that the 911 operator, who talked to Zimmerman and told him not to follow the suspect, did not have the right to give Zimmerman orders.

"...he was legally bound to avoid the situation as the police ordered him to stand down..."

Zimmerman said he was following the suspect and the dispatcher said "we don't need you to do that."

First, that is a suggestion, not an order to "stand down".

Second, it came from the dispatcher (not a cop) who has no authority to order a civilian to do anything. Besides, Zimmerman was the authorized neighborhood watchman at that time.
