Of course it is.. when the other party involved is dead. It is always harder to prove. Stalking, according to wikipedia's source National Center for Victims of Crime states "Virtually any unwanted contact between two people that directly or indirectly communicates a threat or places the victim in fear can be considered stalking".. So the prosecution would have to prove that Zimmerman had made a threat or put fear into Martin. However, it can be easy to defend with Zimmerman saying well, I called the police.. I confronted the person, who I thought was an adult at the time, and told him that I reported him to the police for suspicious behavior. Thus pretty much throwing out the 'stalking' argument. Personally.. Don't give two shits about the stories being told.. I want the raw unedited truth of what happened to come to light.
