12. There is something very inconsistent in Zimmerman's arguments.

He claims that he was afraid of Shaken Baby Syndrome

although he knew that he had a gun.

He stated in his call to 911 that he suspected Trayvon of being a criminal -- a thief or robber.

Yet, in spite of what he now claims he feared, he followed Trayvon, the suspected criminal, to get an address to give the police.

Now, was he afraid or was he looking for trouble? Was he really afraid or did he only become afraid when he realized he might have to answer for killing Trayvon? Was he trying to help the police or pick a fight or a bit of both.
