Even if that was true, it's 100% irrelevant. If Martin was afraid, all he had to do was keep walking. No one was threatening his life and you can't simply argue "I felt threatened" as the law defines the criteria that's its be met.
At the end of it all, he just had to keep waking. Someone following you doesn't mean your life is in danger. There are no facts that support the idea the Zimmerman was between Martin and where Martin wanted to go..
