You raise the question of evidence, of the lack thereof ... which is my point. Is the theory that Zimmerman flashed his gun as plausible as the theory that Martin jumped Zimmerman? There is no hard evidence of who was legally the aggressor - who first committed an illegal act. There is only the defendant's statement about how the altercation started. Once the altercation was underway, there is a variety of evidence of what transpired and how it ended.
I am glad I am not a juror in the Zimmerman trial.
