Did Zimmerman put hands on Martin first?

16. GZ's nose could have been injured from the

kick back of the gun. He did not have the experience of a LEO or military guy and so if he fired the gun in a panic which is real possibility, the gun could have nailed the nose.

I think that GZ attempted to keep TM from leaving because, for once, one of those a**holes was not going to get away. I think that TM was trying to pull away from what he viewed a nut with a gun. The prosecutor stated that one of the drawstrings on the hoodie was pulled out of alignment with the other. I went back and looked at the 7-11 video. It is hard to see but it looked like the strings were even when he was in the store. If that is true, then if GZ tried to restrain TM, the string could have been pulled thereby providing proof that TM was trying to move away from GZ. An injuries to GZ resulting from the scuffle was due to TM's effort to defend himself and justifiable. GZ's injuries were not that serious as evidence by his motor and verbal coordination.

I 1000% believe that GZ was responsible for instigating the altercation and most likely panicked and shot TM. He fell back on his classroom work and framed his story to fit the scenario that his life was in danger. I would not be surprised if his friend who was constantly on the news defending him and they guy that helped him get the gun coached him in the aftermath of the incident which might have made them accessories after the fact. GZ just is not that smart enough to pull if off without help.
