And to be clear, I feel that no matter how it went down, there was one point where Zimmerman no longer had a chance to retreat if he wanted to and was in fear of death or GBH... I just wasn't so quick to see it as Zimmerman having done things right from the git go...
We already know words were exchanged before the first blow... We only have Zimmermans testimony, as credible as it is, that he didn't begin with catching up with Martin...
And he states he went for his phone to call the police back once he found Martin.... This says the fight did not start immediately and he still wouldn't be able to give the cops a good address to get to him since he was still in the "back of the homes" where house numbers were not present...
I hope this case does shed some knowledge on those who feel compelled to stop and question citizens just walking down the street... Cops are limited here and citizens are even less authorized to engage others who may wish not entertain such contact...
