Watching someone from your truck is not pursuit, it is watching.
If it turns out Martin approached the truck, he was the pursuer.

When Zimmerman got out of his truck he initiated pursuit. Zimmerman
could have driven away and let the police handle the situation.
Zimmerman escalated the situation which resulted in Martin's death.

Zimmerman says he never approached or pursued Martin, he got out of
the truck to read a road sign.

Nice twist.

You can't fault a teenager for looking into a car, it is what they do.

When you have had dozens of car burglaries, that is suspicious.

Zimmerman was wholly inadequate to be involved in the situation.

The transcript from the gir;lfriend seems to support that. The initial
contact was Martin confronting Zimmerman in that call.

You mean Martin confronted a man who got of his car and pursued Martin.
Zimmerman is the adult in this whole situation and he should have shown
better judgment.

There is no evidence that Zimmerman ever approached Martin. It appears
the opposite is true.
He says he was jumped from behind.

No evidence yet.
