Wendy Dorival, who coordinated neighborhood watch programs for the Sanford, Florida, Police Department in 2012, testified Tuesday that George Zimmerman was specifically told not to pursue suspicious people in the gated community where he lived.

Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder for killing Trayvon Martin, 17, in the Retreat at Twin Lakes that night. He told police he was pursuing the teenager because there had been an uptick in crime in the area. A confrontation ensued, and Zimmerman said he was forced to kill Martin in self-defense.

Dorival said she worked closely with Zimmerman, because he helped organize the program for his neighborhood. She told him a neighborhood watch volunteer should act as the "eyes and ears" of the police -- but not like a vigilante.

"If you see a car driving around in circles, and you don't recognize the car in your community, that might be suspicious," said Dorival. "If people are walking around in areas that not typically walked on, that could be suspicious."

Dorival gave all the neighborhood watch volunteers from Zimmerman's neighborhood a presentation explaining their role in helping law enforcement. See the neighborhood watch informational presentation for yourself here:

Trayvon Martin murder trial opens with clash on shooter's motive

(Reuters) - Volunteer neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, on trial for the murder of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin last year, killed him "because he wanted to" not in self-defense, a Florida prosecutor said at the start of Zimmerman's murder trial on Monday.

In a fiery opening statement to the jury, Assistant State Attorney John Guy said the evidence would show that Zimmerman, 29, had spun "a tangled web of lies" about the shooting in a gated community in the central Florida town of Sanford.

The killing triggered nationwide protests because Zimmerman was not immediately arrested and walked free for six weeks, after claiming he acted in accordance with Florida's self-defense laws when 17-year-old Martin attacked him.

Zimmerman's lawyer Don West, in his opening statement in Seminole County Court, repeated many of the claims that have already been heard from Zimmerman, his family and lawyer.

"There are no monsters here," West said, contesting Guy's description of his client as a would-be cop who was trained in martial arts and kick boxing and used "hate-filled" speech to describe an innocent young man.

Zimmerman, who is part Hispanic, was the neighborhood watch captain in the Retreat at Twin Lakes community in Sanford at the time of the killing on February 26, 2012. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge of second-degree murder and could face life imprisonment if convicted.

Martin was a student at a Miami-area high school and a guest of one of the homeowners in the Retreat at Twin Lakes. He was walking back to the residence after buying snacks at a nearby convenience store when he was shot in the chest during a confrontation with Zimmerman.

Much of what happened during Martin's fatal encounter with Zimmerman is still a mystery. Neighbors who witnessed the scuffle and the fatal shot, albeit on a rainy night, are expected to testify during the trial.

"George Zimmerman did not shoot Trayvon Martin because he had too. He shot him for the worst of all reasons, because he wanted too," said Guy, the prosecutor, during a 33 minute-long opening statement.

As he spoke, Zimmerman, who is out on bail and appeared in court wearing a charcoal gray suit, showed no emotion as he look straight ahead and away from the prosecutor.

The prosecutor spoke of "irrefutable physical evidence" to prove that Martin was not the aggressor. Guy also said that Zimmerman's description to police of what happened was "physically impossible."

There is a high bar for the prosecution, which has the burden of proof in a case that will center on Florida's aggressive self-defense laws.

Zimmerman's lawyer focused on that during his opening statement to the jury of six and four alternates.

"George Zimmerman is not guilty of murder," West said. "He shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense after being viciously attacked."

Under Florida's Stand Your Ground law, which was approved in 2005 and has since been copied by about 30 other states, people fearing for their lives can use deadly force without having to retreat from a confrontation, even when it is possible.

In instructions on "justifiable use of deadly force," that Circuit Judge Debra Nelson read to jurors, she noted that anyone in fear of grievous bodily harm or death is entitled to shoot and kill an assailant rather than back down.

"The danger facing the defendant need not have been actual," Nelson said, suggesting that mere perception of "danger" was enough to make it reality.

"If the defendant was not engaged in an unlawful activity, and was attacked in any place where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and a right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force, if he reasonably believed that it was necessary do so," Nelson said.

George Zimmerman SMILES & LAUGHS as he receives an all women jury.

George Zimmerman laughs during a humorous moment as his defense counsel Mark O'Mara questions potential jurors for his trial in Seminole circuit court June 20 in Sanford, Florida.

George Zimmerman’s fate is in the hands of six women.
Five white women and a woman who sources said was half-black and half-Hispanic were chosen Thursday to serve on the jury in the racially charged trial of the neighborhood watchman charged with gunning down black teenager Trayvon Martin.
Four alternates were also chosen — two white women, one white man, and a Hispanic male.
Before the jury was sworn in, Judge Debra Nelson asked Zimmerman if he was satisfied with the panel.

“Yes, your honor,” he replied. Opening statements in the trial will begin at 9 a.m. Monday. It took two weeks to pick this panel for a case that caused a national uproar and reignited the debate over unequal justice when Sanford, Fla., police refused at first to charge Zimmerman with a crime.
