When Trayvon Martin was shot, were more fingers on the trigger than Zimmerman’s?

It is far from certain whether George Zimmerman will be indicted for murder because all of the facts have yet to be disclosed. Even the 911 tape in which the operator tells Zimmerman not to follow Martin, has portions which may indicate that Zimmerman believed Martin to be approaching him and armed, and felt “in fear of his life.” That could work as much in his favor as against him. Either way, though, there will be a civil lawsuit which will raise additional questions.

When Mr. Zimmerman pulled the trigger and killed Trayvon Martin, there may have been more people holding the gun than just him. He was a member of the homeowner’s association and, presumably, acting on their behalf to “patrol” the area. Will the association be liable for his actions? Will the other members of the association? If it is incorporated, will that protect them? We do not yet have the answers to these and other questions, but when they come, they may affect us all. What do you think?
