re: #545 Henchman Ghazi-808

It doesn’t matter.

Zimmerman confronted Martin. They got into a fight. Martin seemed to be getting the better of Zimmerman. Zimmerman shot him.

It likely does matter. The core of Zimmerman’s defense is that when he shot Martin he was in reasonable fear that Martin was going to either kill him or inflict grievous bodily harm upon him. If he can show that he was injured by Martin, then that increases the credibility of his defense.
