I am speaking in regards to the 4 minute tape of the incident. Here it is:

My information comes from full interviews with Zimmerman's lawyers and his two friends and the tapes - all of them.

False. The injuries are not that important to the prosecutor as the elements of a struggle already have been established.
What is important in second degree murder cases is proving that the charged person exhibited dangerous conduct that led to the death of the victim. In regards to the FULL 911 call, there is more than enough evidence that Zimmerman decided to take matters into his own hands based on his knowledge of the past burglaries in his neighbourhood by blacks.
He exemplified someone who was emotionally charged and went after an innocent civilian, who in his civilian opinion fit the description of a burglar, even after being advised not to. Without his pursuit and escalation of the situation, the killing of an innocent teenager would not have occurred. (And yes he was innocent in the scenario of walking down the street minding his own business. He even ran away from Zimmerman initially)

That argument will fail because the prosecutor will assert that Zimmerman provoked the situation by leaving his vehicle

He provoked the attack by leaving his vehicle based on a flawed instance of profiling.

That remains to be seen.
