I would point out that we only have Zim's story of how the incident started. I see a tendency to take his story at face value.
That might win the day but honestly, I don't believe we have the full story from him.
We have no evidence of whom contacted whom, because one 'whom' happens to be dead. The phone calls are 50/50.
Sorry to be against the flow of poor Zim but I don't believe his details. Yes, this is speculative.
Do I think the case has reasonable doubt, probably - but that doesn't mean I think Zim is truthful or valid in his actions.
I opine (and this might be unpopular) that we want him to be valid as he is part of the self-defense gun culture story. We overvalue him and denigrate Martin. But I'm not so sure about him and think he discredits us.
