At that range, I wouldn't suspect that Martin was backing off.

Either way its a fucked up situation. Maybe George shouldn't have followed. Maybe Treyvon over-reacted when confronted.. or George's adrenaline got the better of him when Treyvon turned around, we may never know. I just think that the Media should stop playing the "sensationalist" headlines that get everyone speculating based on emotion, and stick to the evidence.
Despite the evidence or "lack there of" people will still speculate based on emotion and bias.
