What you need to show is that he continued following after he conceded with dispatch. And then you will need to prove that Zim was not attacked while returning to his car, and beaten while Zimmerman called for help, as witnesses testified.

Listen to the tape. He's out of breath at the end of the call because he's excited and moving still-- but not towards his vehicle. Zim never said he was returning to his vehicle.
In fact, he told dispatch to tell the police to call him so he could tell them where he would be at that point.
He was out of breath and moving-- even commented about not knowing where that kid is, to imply he was looking for him because he couldn't see him.
We have Martin's phone record that prove he was on the phone with his girlfriend at 7:15pm-- just like she said.
We have 1 of the other 911 calls that started at 7:16-- to report a fight.
If Martin was on the phone at 7:15 with his girlfriend, expressing his concern about being followed, then at 7:16 he was in a fight, and zim's call ended at 7:12 with him complaining that he could not see the kid and that he wanted the police to call him when they arrived so he could tell them his location, CIRCUMSTANTIALLY it's established that zim followed Martin (because he was looking for him) and it is not a big stretch to believe that zim started the confrontation that led to Martin's death.
His truck was parked at a fixed location, right? Because zim was on foot, right? So why not tell the dispatch to have the police meet me back at my truck, parked at XYZ location.
