As I understand it, Zimmerman called to the police while following Martin. He told the police that he was following him and the police said, "We don't need you to do that." At that point Zimmerman broke off his pursuit and headed back to his car. As he approached his car, Martin came from somewhere and started demanding to know why he followed him. Martin began getting in his face and yelling, "You're going to die tonight". Some initiated physical contact. Martin ended up on top of Zimmerman pummeling him MMA style at which point Zimmerman, who feared for his life pulled out his gun and shot him.
Now I wasn't there and I haven't heard all the evidence, but this is part of what I did hear and it is a scenario that makes perfect sense.

Regardless of the jury decision Zimmerman will be hounded and his life in danger for a long long time. I wish the prosecution would entertain the question on whether Zimmerman would have followed the "suspect" if he did not have a gun on him. I don't know how you get hat question into the trial bu it's a valid question the jury should consider.
So regardless of the result Zimerman will pay a price for his actions which is only fair. Hopefully they take his carry permit away from him he has proven he does not posses the common sense and maturity to have the right to carry.
