It doesn't matter who started the fight.

It doesn't matter who was on top and who was on bottom.

It doesn't matter who was yelling for help.

The entire set of circumstances leading to an innocent seventeen year old murdered in the courtyard of his father's home was aggravated by Mr. Zimmerman. Mr. Martin's actions are mute to the aggressions of Mr. Zimmerman.

If the shoe was on the other foot and Mr. Zimmerman was dead, the worst Mr. Martin could be charged with is aggravated manslaughter if not simply self-defense. 

Mr. Martin was fighting for his life with a man that had his weapon out of the holster.

The entire defense for Mr. Zimmerman was to influence the jury, not reveal the truth. Mr. Zimmerman complains he is aggrieved in his case by racist demands for Florida to bring charges. He aggravated the entire situation and yet he is innocent of any violence or responsibility. There are not two separate crimes, there is only one.
