Zimmerman is the only person who knows how the confrontation first started. The only other person is an ear witness - Trayvon’s girlfriend. I would believe Trayvon’s girlfriend over Zimmerman. His history should be taken into account to judge the truthfulness of his story. He says he walked back to his car and was attacked, but I don’t believe that.
I believe Zimmerman put his hands on Trayvon first. I also don’t believe he backed off after 911 dispatcher told him to.
Zimmerman is the one with the history of being overzealous, wanting to detain people, putting his hands on people and not wanting people to get away. The 911 operator told him to back off, and his tone of voice he did not sound happy. He reminds 911 that “he ran” after being chastized for following him.

YOU don't know what happened - and I would believe the EYE witness who stated that Zimmerman was on the ground screaming for help [with Martin standing over him] BEFORE I would believe the girlfriend - the EYE witness doesn't have a dog in the hunt ...
