And let's not ignore the fact that it was proved that the cops told him to stop following him and leave him alone. Martin had nothing to gain to confront the cop wannabe. Zimmerman provoked the situation, it's very obvious and it's no surprise that a group of 6 mostly white jurors who probably can't find their state on a map decided against the black dude. Racism is alive and well in the great USA.

The cops told Zimmerman to stop and he did, he was heading back to his truck. In a legal sense the encounter was over.
Martin might not have had anything to gain, but he did confront Zimmerman, he did basically beat on him. At this point after Zimmerman had broken off, its considered that Martin became the aggressor in the conflict.
And of course you cry racism in the jury. Please show me where there was no choice for the Jury to convict, or don't you have a clue about reasonable doubt?
Nothing that you've said is true.
