Lets be real, if you follow and confront someone who is un armed, then say you defended yourself when you instigated the confrontation, and when clearly nothing would have happened had Z just called the police and left it alone. In principle it's just plain silly.
According to a bunch of people who are smarter about the law than you, self-defense isn't just plausible, it's probable.
From what I can tell, Martin jumped Zimmerman, so yes, it would be self-defense. Nobody forced Martin to jump Zimmerman.
Has that been proven though?

According to people who are smarter than the people you're talking about the people you're talking about are wrong.
All of the evidence points to just that.

Well then I guess it really comes down to the fine print. Based on my principles, if you instigate a confrontation with someone and it's not on your property you should forfeit a self defense defense in court.

And who would those people be? Almost every judge and lawyer I've heard talk about this case believes that an acquittal is likely.

exactly. Martin forfeited his right to self-defense when he instigated the confrontation by punching zimmerman in the face.

There ya go. Based on that no one was defending themselves.
Court isn't based on your principles. If the jury believes GZ's account, there's no way he will be guilty of 2nd degree murder or manslaughter.
All of the evidence points to just that.
What everyone is telling you is that this part is incorrect.
My principles are better.
Now you are really being silly.
