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.

He won’t be able to escape the fact that he put himself in that position and is responsible for the outcome.
