That's
Zimmerman's version of the story.

Sure, I can speculate that Zimmerman was goose-stepping throwing sieg heils right and left with his gun out, found Treyvon hiding behind some bushes and Treyvon jumped him to defend himself.
But without proof that's all it is, speculation.
You can't prove that Treyvon
didn't go back to confront Zimmerman, pissed off at having gotten scared while talking to his girl. If Treyvon was so scared, why didn't he call the police? He had a cell phone. Why didn't he run all the way home?
In the end Zimmerman's version of events is the one that will stand, and the fact that Treyvon was beating him up backs up his claim of self-defence.
