Who controls the gate? Again, is there public access? Do I need a key in order to enter the community?
I guess, but only in the same sense that he is allowed to approach people and ask them "how are you?". He has no legal authority to restrain someone who chooses not to talk to him. Indeed, he has no legal authority to touch another person in any way whatsoever without their consent.
That wasn't my impression but I didn't really follow the case in much detail. Obviously, there is a fairly gaping evidentiary gap in the sense that the court did not hear any evidence from Martin.

Is there any evidence of Zimmerman physically restrainting Martin?
We have no evidence of close proximity between the two parties until witnesses see Martin on top of Zimmerman. Martin on top of Zimmerman is the only evidence of physical restraint.
