Can’t they also say that Treyvon was retreating and GZ ‘didn’t have to shoot’?

Even if they do, it's still not "beyond a reasonable doubt" that it was murder.

If they argue that Martin was leaning back and that means that he was disengaging, MoM would counter that he wasn't leaning back, he was winding up for the fatal blow.

The testimony shows that he wasn't leaning back, he was leaning forward. If the state argues that he was leaning forward to get off of Zimmerman, then MoM argues that it was impossible to tell if he was getting off or tightening his grip.

In any case, it's not enought put a doubt in the self defense case and therefore call it murder. A doubt in self-defense still leaves a good chance that it was without a doubt self-defense.

All the jury has to do is look at GZ photos of face and head and look at the autopsy report for Trayvon.

If the jury doesn't acquit, it is because they have been compromised by Obama and the DOJ.

Perhaps the rioting should start on the other side of the street.
