As i've said repeatedly "following" is not "confronting" by any stretch of the imagination. Certainly does not fit into any legal definition.

In fact, the whole point as illustrated by Zimmermans calls which covered the vast majority of the incident was that Zimmerman was guiding police to Martin and police were basically right around the corner. Martin was trying to dodge Martin. Certainly both parties grossly misinterpreted the intent of the other, however, that does not change the facts and evidence. There is nothing to evidence the fact that Zimmerman approached and directly confronted Martin. There is evidence that Zimmerman got his ass handed to him. Who started that and why, who threw the first punch and why, has very little to do legally with the moment Zimmerman pulled out a gun and pulled the trigger. All that matters legally is what was going on in his mind at that exact moment.
