Here's my problem. Can someone explain why Martin would attack Z if Z was doing nothing wrong?

112. That just doesn't make sense to me

At this point, with the testimony and evidence I've seen, to me it looks like Martin found some Paul Blart wannabe stalking him, and he wanted to teach this busybody a lesson. The only thing he didn't figure was that GZ had a handgun, and was able to use it before Martin could take control of it. Yes, GZ got his sorry ass into that situation, but once it had denegrated down to how many smacks his head would take on the pavement before he passed out completely, he pulled his weapon and fired.

That's the essense of what I figure his legal team is going for, in order to establish a judicial win. I figure that if GZ is any less careful than Salmon Rushdie, he's going to eventually be killed by someone who wants to be a "hero" for doing so. That's in or out of prison.
