We don’t really know how GZ initiated the confrontation. It the 911 tape he was telling the operator that Martin was staring at him then began walking toward Zim. If I understand that right, Zim was just there by his car and Martin walked back and approached him. There is no duty to retreat, or hide inside any vehicle whether a person has a gun or a pez dispenser. I think it would be hard to prove that Zim was itching for a fight by just standing there like a dolt watching. It clearly looks like he got caught by surprise judging buy how he got marked up.
I know the burden of proof is not as high in civil court cases and I have to assume the rules are also less for a defense atty. We are bound to see his council be allowed to drag up all the criminal complaints against martin as well as the kinds of exotic street drugs he was clearly involved with. His momma will not be able to accuse them of character assassination because with these I think it can now go both ways. So much stuff was kept from the jury before.
I almost sort of hope they try, just for my selfish curiosity.if for nothing else
