hearsay, definition:

The report of another person’s words by a witness, usually disallowed as evidence in a court of law.

the only account of the words and actions of trayvon martin at the shooting scene that are supposed to be the evidence that the shooting was an act of self defense is the one related to us by zimmerman

therefore, he walks on hearsay alone

No, not correct. A first-hand account of someone’s words is not hearsay, it’s first-hand witness evidence. The content of those words can be hearsay (if those words allegedly describe some event or state of facts).
