That's pretty consistent with Zimmerman's account of things.

I guess this case is no longer as sexy for the media to cover it now that there's a reasonable chance that Martin was the one who initiated the physical violence.
The media is how you found out that info. The media has never been completely silent because I see at least one article per week on this. There has simply been less to say in a larger sense once people get bored with Nancy Grace and the court of public opinion. The obvious "we shall wait and see" is what is going on.

There is still a reasonable chance that Zimmerman initiated the violence when he followed Martin and perhaps ran up on Martin which caused Martin to respond (or Martin to stop when he discovered he was being followed and say to Zimmerman "what the hell are you following me for"). Martin perhaps thought he was defending himself just as Zimmerman is claiming that he was defending himself with a gun-to-a-fist-fight. The Gun Gods are mighty generous if they just so happened to allow Zimmerman to have his gun to defend himself for an unsolicitated and nonprecipitated fist fight.
