That's actually an irrelevant question. Even if you're defending yourself, the moment you go from defending to trying to cause grievous harm you become in the wrong. Regardless of who struck first, once Martin started smashing Zimmerman's head against the sidewalk, Zimmerman was the one with the right to defend himself.
