for a man to follow a woman? Some strange man is following her in a car, and then gets out and walks after her. That is perfectly fine and dandy? SHE should not assume that he is stalking and ready to attack and rape her?

... there is a cadre of folk here that support a person stalking and then murdering a "kid"

I'm only guessing, but I'll bet that the DA decided it didn't meet the legal definition of stalking.

but my experience tells me otherwise, most DA's will charge a defendant with every offense that they legally can.

but I believe that the only lesser included is Manslaughter, I know the prosecution tried to get Agg. Assault included as a lesser included but Judge Nelson shot that down.

Does the prosecution have to pay a fine for any charge in excess of 2 charges?

Dude, there was no stalking here. Show me anyone who was convicted of stalking for following someone for the similar amount of time that Zimmerman followed Trayvon (not that you know how long he followed him, either).

your (bogus and legally false) analysis would be on point (though wrong) when Zimmerman is charged with stalking, but since he wasn't charged with stalking your contention that he committed that crime is entirely irrelevant

Criminal law is not a silly little word game game. It is important stuff.

And laws do not mean whatever you imagine them to mean.

...following someone

The law you cite does not apply to any set of events alleged by the defense or the prosecution.

The law you cite does not apply to this case in any way.

You want it to... god knows why. But mere wanting isn't going to rewrite the law.

I don't have much respect for people who think the law is a parlor game. It's actually rather important.

...want to be followed and according to Dee Dees testimony there's NO DOUBT Trayvon was scared

...TM.

The "repeatedly" in the law does NOT have anythign to do with time span so even if Z stopped for a split second and started again he is repeatedly following someone to the point a person could reasonably....

That's the law

Stalking isn't needed for the guilty verdict that you desperately want, so I don't know why you're even arguing this point.
