Aye, but if the attack occurred at the end of the confrontation after Zimmermann had been pursuing him, then wouldn't Treyvon actually be under the protection of Stand Your Ground? I've got this shady looking kinda hispanic guy chasing me, he may be threatening my life :P

I don't think so. According to Zimmerman, he lost sight of Martin for about a minute. Then Martin came up from behind him, and they spoke briefly before Martin asked if he had a problem. Zimmerman said no, and Martin said, "Now you do," and proceeded to jump him.

Dangerous if true. I would suppose the phone records wouldn't indicate what his girlfriend actually told him to do, or what he had been planning?

And odd that these facts are emerging only now. You would think Zimmermann would have made it clear that he had been jumped at the scene, to better reinforce the idea that he was being substantively threatened right off the bat?
