There is no conclusive testimony that Martin asked Zimmerman why he was following him. This came from the 17 year-old friend who was known to lie about some things and where actual events would indicate that she lied about pertinent details. For example, she also testified that Martin said "get off of me". Yet, eyewitness testimony as well as the physical evidence all points to Martin being the one on top. To me, her testimony was coached and is worthless.
