He strikes me (and many) as a coward. Talks big, walks big, but when the rubber hits the road, he's a coward. Needed that sidearm to make up for courage.
I think when Rachel joked (?) to Trayvon that the creepy-ass cracker following him was probably a rapist, that got inside of Trayvon's head, and his fear turned to "oh HELL no!" and they met up and confronted each other and Trayvon likely easily got the upper hand because his adrenaline had been pumping for several minutes already. I think he was doing exactly what GZ said, straddling him and trying to hold him down, to prevent what in TM's mind was most likely going to be an attempted sexual assault. TM was defending himself.
Then GZ very quickly realized he was in over his head, and he pulled his gun because he knew that was the only way to get the upper hand. I doubt he feared for his life. He was just humiliated that this young kid was so easily able to dominate him.
GZ instigated the whole affair, GZ was the aggressor and TM was defending himself.
GZ's cowardice resulted in TM's death.
That's how I see it, and I suspect the jury will see this too.
