Closing Arguments Begin in George Zimmerman Trial
Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda began his closing argument by highlighting that George Zimmerman made wrong assumptions about Trayvon Martin.
“A teenager is dead. He is dead through no fault of his own. He is dead because another man made assumptions,” de la Rionda said. “That man assumed certain things. He’s dead not just because the man made those assumptions – because he acted upon those assumptions. And unfortunately, unfortunately because his assumptions were wrong, Trayvon Benjamin Martin no longer walks on this earth.”
