All we do have, is the testimony of a piece of shit man who killed someone and deserves to rot in prison.We don't know for sure what he was doing; Zimmerman claims he was looking into houses. What we do for a fact though, is that someone matching Treyvon's description was suspected of breaking into houses in the area. Zimmerman reported him based on this fact, as evidenced by the 911 call. We also know that Treyvon had been suspended from school three times that year, and had once been caught with a large amount of women's jewellery and a tool suspected of being used for burglary.
There is also the eye witness testimony of Treyvon on top of Zimmerman, beating him up.

Do you have any links to articles that can verify this?....but regardless of those facts, the other facts remain that Zimmerman complied with the 911 operator and was returning to his truck when Martin confronted him and asked Zimmerman what his problem was and why was he following him...according to Zimmerman they had a brief exchange and during the course of the confrontation Zimmerman was searching his pockets for his cell phone when Trayvon Martin sucker punched him breaking his nose and knocking him to the ground...Trayvon then got on top of Zimmerman and pinned him to the ground while he pummeled away on Zimmerman grabbing his head and smashing it against the sidewalk...it was during that course which Zimmerman was able to get his gun and shoot Martin in self defense...additionally, Zimmerman's defense team used a "Self Defense" argument in court. Not "Stand Your Ground". The jury came to the right verdict in this case and found Zimmerman not guilty of either manslaughter or 2nd degree murder.
