The problem with this case, and with the law, is that there is considerable reason to believe each party believed he was being threatened and/or attacked and was acting in self-defense.
However these two ultimately met up, and thus far I do believe Zimmerman was attacked when attempting to get into his SUV,and no I don't believe that Martin felt threatened....in the sense most might....I think he's a much tougher character than what he's been protrayed as...and covered for.
I was on one site where a gal wrote it was her friends mothers jewelry that was stolen by Martin and found in his bag...but who knows...still it was interesting to see her rant about how upset she and her friend were about this happening.
