Zimmerman “confronted Martin and a struggle ensued"

Seems like the guy who got fired from NBC wrote this affidavit. "Zimmerman confronted Martin (true) [...edited...] and a struggle ensued (true),”

The missing piece, edited out, is [lost sight of Martin, returned to his car, was then attacked by Martin]

Put this back in and it reads: Zimmerman confronted Martin lost sight of Martin, returned to his car, was then attacked by Martin and a struggle ensued

Quite a different picture!

Actually, no, we don't know if it true that Zimmerman "confronted" Martin. Some people have talked as if Zimmerman and Martin exchanged words earlier, but that is unclear. I don't think there is anything in what Zimmerman says in the recorded call to suggest that he and Martin had spoken to each other. The girlfriend's version indicates that Martin had noticed Zimmerman watching him, but it isn't clear how far apart they were or whether Zimmerman knew that Martin had noticed him. It was dark and it was raining.

Tonight Hannity was saying that the prosecutor must have additional testimony that the rest of us don't know about, to have produced this affidavit. Perhaps...or she may just be trying to construct the most damaging interpretation of Zimmerman's actions possible, based mainly on the girlfriend's testimony.
