He was a wannabee cop that did not get accepted into the police academy because of poor credit.

One piece of evidence I don't get is that IF Martin was straddling Zimmerman and had his arms pinned, how did Zimmerman get his gun out? I also think the gun was on his right side but it looks to me like Zimmerman is taking all of his notes in court with his left hand.

I never heard anything about his arms being pinned. The side on which he carried his gun is irrelevant. My father was a police officer. He was right handed but always carried his gun on this left side with the handle pointed toward the front. It was easier to withdraw it from the holster when seated in the police cruiser.
