If you know Zimmerman tried to detain Martin, you really should give a deposition to the prosecution

At what point do you believe that Trayvon became aware of the presence of the gun?

All I know for sure is that he initiated and pursued an encounter that resulted in a fatal shooting

Agreed. Why is it not clear that Trayvon had just as much right to "stand his ground".
