Left unsaid in all these irrelevant remarks is that the State must prove that Zimmerman did NOT act in self defense. Zimmerman is the defendant. He doesn't have to prove anything, altho his defense is bolstered by any admissible evidence indicating he did act in self defense. For all the noise about the case, it's still a game too close to call. Which is probably why, at least partly, charges were filed.

So far there's plenty for both sides to exploit. That Martin had skinned knuckles and Zimmerman didn't doesn't mean Martin attacked or assaulted Zimmerman. All we can know from that at this point is that Martin hit Zimmerman. We can't even know for sure that Zimmerman didn't hit Martin. Not every punch results in skinned knuckles. And posting about trace THC in Martin's blood only shows how willing some are to inject and use(?) irrelevant information. The stuff hangs around in the system nearly two weeks. Good thing you kooks aren't crime investigators.
