I don't think it is a stretch to believe Martin thought he might be in danger, in fact his comment to witness 8 could indeed make that exact point. He was obviously worried about the cracker following him. Turns out, unfortunately, that he was right.

It doesn't matter what I would think. It would only matter what I did. Yes, the testimony regarding Mr. Martin's 'cracker' comment was testified to by Rachel Jeantel, so it is in the record and considered evidence. It doesn't matter what Mr. Martin thought. It only matters what Mr. Martin did. If he sucker punched Mr. Zimmerman then Mr. Zimmerman, believing his life was threatened, had a right to use deadly force.
'He was obviously worried about the cracker following him.' Where is the evidence to support this? We know he was aware of Mr. Zimmerman but whether he was 'worried' about him is speculation. By the way, do you think people should be referred to as cracker? If so, then your opinions are more understandable. The jury will decide based on evidence given at trial.
