In other words, the witness said the guy (Martin) he saw first attacked then when he looked back, he was the one on the ground shot. It is pretty badly written.

Actually, what he said was the guy in the hoodie(Martin)was sitting on the guy in the red shirt(Zimmerman)beating him and the guy in the Red Shirt(Zimmerman)was yelling for help. When he looked back the guy doing the beating(the one on top)was laying on the ground and most likely dead. Sounds like self defense to me.

“Sounds like self defense to me.”

Maybe. Unfortunately, the witness didn’t see who started it. If I punch you for no reason and then you proceed to kick my butt, I’ve sorta given up my right to “self defense.”
