I just hope that each of them consider that Trayvon deserved a self defense hearing just as much as Zimmerman did. Trayvon's actions are those of someone who was afraid for his life, he did everything that you would expect a reasonable person to do. He approached Zimmerman while he was still in his vehicle, once he thought he was being watched, and asked him if he was following him, to which Zimmerman told the police that he replied no and rolled up his window, this was before his 911 call.

Then once Martin, still felt threatened by Zimmerman, he tried to run away he fled on foot, still pursued by Zimmerman. That wasn't enough, Zimmerman, decided to pursue on foot giving chase running after Martin into the dark common area, so Martin, did what is required in self defense, he tried to get away from his aggressor, and was acting like what a person who feared harm would do.

Zimmerman on the other hand, never identified himself, got out of the safety of his vehicle because he knew he had a gun, and gave chase, because he was determined not to let his suspect get away. Zimmerman never stood his ground he tried to take Martin's ground away, and based on the testimony of Martin's friend, who stated that she heard Martin once again try to speak to Zimmerman before he started the confrontation and jumped Martin, we know this because she said she heard the tussling sounds of wet grass, and Martin say get off get off.

This is what a person who is acting out of fear does, they try to get away, they don't calmly and coldly pursue their victim like a terminator robot.
