This is why ultimately the case will come down to Zimmerman's believably. When you look at the map of where events took place it is clear that Zimmerman was a decent distance away from his car. There is nothing illegal about that.
It looks like he followed Martin. Again, nothing illegal. The big question is how the fight started. Zimmerman is claiming that Martin attacked him and he was just defending himself. If the jury believes him he will go free. The prosecution is saying that Zimmerman started the fight and Martin was defending himself. If the jury believes that Zimmerman goes to jail.
Since Martin isn't here to testify and, as far as I know, there were no witnesses that saw how the fight started, the case really boils down to how believable Zimmerman is.
