I really think the state bungled this case. They never really made the point that, for all anyone knows, George initiated the physical contact.
Why wouldn't they (for example) ask every eye/ear witness that was put on the stand something to the effect of:
"Sir, did you witness the initial contact between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin"?
Witness: "No".
"Sir, do you know (or is it possible) that George Zimmerman might have initiated the physical contact"?
Witness: "Could be".
"So, sir, you can't rule out that George might have placed his hands on Trayvon before Trayvon struck George in the nose"?
"In fact, sir, if you believe that Trayvon was the initial aggressor, that belief is solely based on the defendant's word, correct"?
Blah, blah. I don't know how they could have inserted that exactly but I didn't hear any of that during the trial.
