I would say "yes" except we don't really know that Martin attacked Zimmerman first. We know he hit him, shoved him down on the sidewalk. But we have no idea if this came first, or if it was a reaction to something. A blow thrown but missed, perhaps? I really don't know either. Neither did the Jury. That's why they had to let him go.
The only living witness to the incident is Zimmerman. And I'm sure he'll carry that info to his grave.
As an aside; I think Zimmerman deserved to get his ass beat just for being a dork. But, that's me. I'm crazy that way.

We know much more than that, Dave. We have at least one witness, whose testimony was not impeached, who saw Martin on top of Zimmerman raining down blows. This was described as "ground and pound" "MMA - style."

Whatever happened before this, IMHO, becomes less relevant. If the witness is correct (and I have to think the jury thought he was), this is a pretty savage form of attack. If someone had me pinned like this and beating on me, I'd be concerned about whether I might survive the night.
