That would make more sense to me but determining "who started" a fight can be a pretty hard thing to do sometimes, too.

if it can be proven that Zimmerman started the fight, an unlawful activity, then Zimmerman could not use "Stand Your Ground" as justification for shooting Martin. Under Florida’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ law, it really doesn’t matter who started the fight; it only matters if the person who survives the fight can say without contradiction that he was in fear for his life or safety. That law states: A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself.
