If you follow someone that you deem suspicious and a threat AFTER you've been told not to, and then you confront them, YOU have created the hostile situation that did not have to happen. Doesn't matter if the person you're following hit you first, YOU created the situation by not staying away and by confronting someone whom you don't know and that you claimed as suspicious. IF Trayvon attacked first, (and I doubt that) it was because he felt threatened at this strange man following him first, which sounds completely reasonable and could still be deemed self defense. Sorry, I very much disagree - the possibility of Trayvon attacking first if nothing else would seem to hurt the argument that this was somehow premeditated or intentional. Which is why the DA seeking a conviction for second degree murder has taken a gamble.
