The prosecution should have presented the case from what they knew happened to Trayvon, not based on George's version of events.
The biggest mistake they made was presenting George's story twice in the videos. This sure showed why George thought he acted in self-defense, but it did nothing to show why Martin acted in self-defense.
They would have lost all credibility if they tried to say that TM was defending himself. The point of the videos, I thought, was to try and play up any inconsistencies in GZ story.
Again, under Florida law there is no requirement to retreat. Martin ran in fear from Zimmerman initially... if he was worried that Zimmerman was still following him, he was well within his rights under Florida law to turn back and stand his ground when re-confronted by Zimmerman.
That just show what people know about stand your ground. it does not allow going back and assaulting the person. that allows the person assaulted to stand their ground and if in fear for their life use deadly force I self defense.
It's helpful when the only witness who can dispute what you say - is shot dead.
With NO battery injuries, indicating he wasn't assaulted, and was shot by Z in self defense because he was attacking Z. Yes, indeed, the jury found the forensic evidence stating exactly such most helpful in determining Z's acquittal.

Haven't you ever had to say to someone, "Get that flashlight out of my face, asswhole!"
