The prosecutor's argument will be that the possibility that Martin was Black led Zimmerman to pursue him, and that Martin, fearing Zimmerman's intentions, attacked first. Having a gun, Zimmerman knew that if he provoked such a hostile reaction from Martin, he could bring any incident to a fatal conclusion for Martin.
Additionally, the prosecution will leave out certain mitigating facts, including Zimmerman's 9-11 call where he can't readily identify Trademark's race, that Trademark doubled back, etc.
There was an interview a couple months back with that friend of Martin's who's performance on the stand completely backfired. It's clear that she's spent time with a language coach.
