No, martin could actually claim stand your ground since he was telling his girl friend he was being followed, he did not know whether are not zimmerman was a pervert wanting mug and kill him. There is five minute's between the time his phone went dead and he was killed.

No, martin could actually claim stand your ground...

Unless you have an eyewitness statement or police evidence to establish that Zimmerman assaulted Martin (according to the legal definition of assault), you are simply practicing wishful thinking/supposition. Regardless, stand your ground applies to defensive actions, not offensive ones. Once you become the aggressor, you lose that protection.
