Treyvon had his chance to "fear for his life" when Zimmerman was chasing him, not after he got away and then went back).
In cases like this apparently its up to a jury to decide if someone felt like their life was threatened. Really there wasnt enough to bring this to trial but doing so calmed the masses... Until he is proven innocent and then they will fire up again.
The medical report being true is huge in this case because its the only leg the prosecution had to stand on.
