That was just replayed on Greta.
GZ clearly states he was “afraid” and “fear” was the reason he didn’t confront Martin when he was circling GZ’s car.
It’s a problem. Not a large one though.
I think O’Mara can overcome all of this given the jury.
Not sure if West could, though.

In fact, such a statement made by Zimmerman ABSOLUTELY AFFIRMS HIS CLAIM THAT HE WAS ATTACKED BY TRAYVON MARTIN.
If Zimmerman didn't want to confront Martin from the relative safety of the car because he was afraid, that's a pretty reliable indication he didn't go out on foot looking for a confrontation.
He went out on foot looking to see if he could keep track of where Martin went. Martin was going where a car wouldn't go, and he wanted to keep him in sight until the police could arrive so he could tell them where the suspicious person went.
It's the exact same thing I would have done. Track, not confront.
Zimmerman gave clear indication by his statement that his goal was NOT a confrontation.
So again, the point all supports Zimmerman's account of events.
I don’t see that as problem.
If you’re afraid or in fear sitting your car, then you don’t get out to CHASE THE GUY, but after he runs, you might get out to get an address for the 911. Also, if TM ran, then I would also be a little relieved thinking he wasn’t wanting a confrontation either.
Obviously, he didn’t want the confrontation while Z was on the phone, so how convenient that he waited until Z hung up the phone!
