Even if Martin had gained the upper hand in the struggle the police would have known that Zimmerman should have been in his car waiting for the police.
And even then, if I engage you in a fight and I'm losing (which isn't likely  ) should I have the right to shoot you dead when you're unarmed?
The burden should have been on the investigation to show this clearly wasn't a manslaughter case...

Spence, the man is presumed innocent, and the burden of proof is always, always, on the state to prove otherwise. The accused never has to prove his innocence, the system was intentionally not set up as you would have it work...
