But, until we have any reason to doubt his story, justice tells us to presume innocence.

Zimmerman's not innocent, per se. He's admitted to shooting Martin. What he's maintaining is
immunity from prosecution.

That means I have come around to believing that Zimmerman had broken off tailing Martin and was retirning to his vehicle

As Glenn mentioned, this story has two sides, and only one party is alive to tell his. Martin wasn't raving mad and threatening people. He was (possibly) trespassing. Zimmerman chose to approach him at night, and we don't know what he said or did. He could have acted in a manner that spooked Martin. We can't know.
What I do know is that kid didn't have to die that night. Zimmerman could have hung back and let law enforcement do their jobs.
