That is all irrelevant to a self defense case. If Zimmerman can
demonstrate that he had a fear of great bodily harm he has the right
to use deadly force.
The state has said they don't have evidence that he was in pursuit of
Martin at the time of the confrontation
They don't have proof that martin did not initiate the confrontation
and they don't have evidence that Martin did not attack Zimmerman.
It is actually unclear under the stand your ground law whether the
alleged pursuit and initiating the contact would deny Zimmerman of the
right to self defense.
I am waiting on the hearing where hopefully more facts will come out.
All I have now is the suspicion the both were eager for trouble.
