No the most important thing the jury will have to decide is IF the defence can convince the jury that T attacked Z did Z have the right to shoot and kill him in response?
Deciding whether a teenager had the right to break the nose of a guy who was following him is a far less important a question than deciding whether a grown man had the right to shoot and kill an unarmed teenager.
Doesn't work that way.
You're right, however, it's all intertwined.
