Nevertheless, that does not excuse his disobeying the 911 dispatch officer and chasing down Trevon.
Even though he had no legal obligation to listen to the dispatcher, common sense should have told Zimmerman that the police would handle it and his part in the situation was over.
Instead, he chose to take matters into his own hands and that is why he is guilty of at least involuntary manslaughter IMHO.
